Oh hey, Back to My Mac works. I’m writing this on my MacBook at home from the back room at work. It’s not all smooth (802.11g here at the store), and I had to get an AirPort Extreme to make it work (Dad’s Linksys had some wonky/weird NAT setting or something), but whatever…

Why don’t Mattel and Hasbro just buy Scrabulous? Then everybody wins.

Trying out Things on the Mac, and planning to look at OmniFocus.
I’ve started looking at to-do apps recently on the iPhone. I’ve already gone through Erica Sudan’s To Do and Zenbe’s Zenbe Lists, and recently started using DoBot’s ToDos. Zenbe had the most comfortable UI, but doesn’t allow adding notes to tasks. Sudan’s To Do did what I needed it to, but...

Funny, but it’s good to know that Steve is personally (sort of) trying to keep us posted.

Idea: a Tetris game (preferably on iPhone) with Wi-Fi multiplayer co-op, where players take turn to place a set number of pieces. (via my Twitter)

Both WALL-E and The Dark Knight are great films, but in different ways. The former is a great wind-down film; the latter is an utter mind-blower. Pixar’s film is especially amazing when you look into the details (you’d start noticing them after seeing it 4 times in a month), but that’s not so much the case for Nolan’s.
Another thing: is it just me, or does WALL-E,...

David Cameron's bike stolen while he shopped →
Apparently he chained it to a bollard. No wonder they could steal it.
On the other hand, carrying a bike with a chain through its wheel on your shoulder isn’t very discrete. Unless they had transportation (which sounds a bit too much for a simple bike theft), the thieves shouldn’t be hard to spot.

China 'to allow Olympic protests' →
Sounds good. Just hope they won’t disallow any “offensive” protests. Avenge Tiananmen Square anyone?

I’m glad I didn’t stop watching the grand prix after the first thirty five minutes or so (the first half was really boring). Otherwise I would’ve missed Glock’s bizarre accident and Hamilton’s incredible driving against Massa.

Watching the German GP from Sunday (thank you BitTorrent). No, I haven’t seen it, and yes, I’ve resisted the urge to read anything about it. (via my Twitter)

Now that the iPhone Facebook app knows the existence of Walls, I’m starting to think that it’s possible this little pocket thing can completely replace my MacBook for normal day-to-day use. I mean, I’ve got Facebook, NetNewsWire, Twitter, AIM, Safari, and Tap Tap Revenge. What more do I need? Maybe I should do an experiment: “iPhone week”…
Zack Braff leaving “Scrubs” after next season →
Upset. I wonder who’s gonna replace him and who the new central character will be (i.e who’s daydreams are we going to see).
