RIP Homesite
Naturally Adobe discontinues Homesite the week I finally buckle down and buy an iMac. It was one of only two programs that I missed the first time I switched to a Mac, back in 1999, and thus one of the few I was happy to see again when circumstances forced me back to a PC. Of course, I was going to take this opportunity to look for something new anyway. (I went back to BBEdit on my Macbook, but it’s never been ideal: I basically use it as a scratchpad anyway. A coding pal has recommended Smultron and Coda.)
I still use Homesite daily at work, though not to the extent I used to, but our tech guys have spoken of replacing it…

Don’t automate your Twitter
So, I posted a tweet today about how disgusted I am that I know who Adam Lambert is. (I have a deep and abiding hatred of American Idol.) A half hour later? @lambertfans is following @clubjade. Uh, no.

What really killed Pontiac
Yes, it came out years before GM decided to use Pontiac as a sacrifice to the reorganization gods, but I can tell you that the design aesthetic began by the Aztek is the reason why I wouldn’t even touch the damn things when my ‘93 Grand Am started to be more trouble than it was worth. I mean, I grew up with Pontiacs (and Chryslers.) I can’t recall a serious problem that wasn’t the result of regular wear and tear. But with the Aztek, it was all over: I replaced my Pontiac with a Toyota. Even my parents defected to Mazda.
I know, it may seem petty. But I almost crashed that Grand Am on I-94 the first time I saw one of those things in the wild. It was just that ugly. And it’s only in the last few years that they’ve recovered… But I guess it was too late. Stupid Aztek.

Am I crazy, or…
Judge Reinhold in Fast Times at Ridgemont Hight and Jason Segel in Freaks and Geeks… SEPARATED AT BIRTH? (Not the best picture of Segel, but I’m watching Ridgemont and I can’t unsee it.)

I don’t know why I keep blogging about music. Forgive me.

Kate Bush gives great GIF
I can only take so much of Kate Bush. (Which isn’t to say I never nabbed my mother’s Hounds of Love CD.) But I can’t deny that the woman is hilarious.
And I looked up Bat for Lashes (Hey! It’s that chick who did that Donnie Darko video!) and I’m probably going to buy that album. Damn it.

Video: Junior High Flashback!
I loved this song back in ‘92. I can’t for the life of me remember why, but thanks to the magic of Wikipedia I am now boggling that one of those chicks was in Bananarama.
