Godamnit, how do you stop gradients from banding in Photoshop? Adding noise and blurs don’t do enough for me.
I guess I could try Pixelmator…

Make the Tumblr Controls Static
Add this to the css of your tumblr custom html in order to keep the Tumblr controls static, even while scrolling (like on my site):
#tumblr_controls { position: absolute ! important }

I wonder if I can make a disk image and play SimCity 4 sans DVD. (via my Twitter)
Internet said yes, and Internet was right. I guess the trick is to make it a read–only image.
Anyway, at least I won’t have to worry about the DVD spinning up every time I launch the game. Or whenever I search using Spotlight. Or when I wake the MacBook Pro up from screensaver mode.

Just watched the LOST starter kit. Man, a lot happened since I left it in the middle of season 1. And I’ve probably spoiled seasons 2-4. (via my Twitter)

Fast bucks: how Porsche made billions →
So that’s what Clarkson meant when he said “every hedge in the world has gone bust” back at the beginning of series 12. I understood the first part of his sentence — “Porsche…somehow has bought Volkswagen” — because related news occasionally pops up on Autoblog, but I never knew that the Stuttgart carmaker was so good on the stock market. Good move.

UNSC Halcyon-class Cruiser →
I don’t understand why I find this sort of thing — trivia about an imaginary ship in a sci–fi FPS video game — fascinating. It’s not going to help me in any way when I go matchmaking on Xbox Live, Bungie probably didn’t even think about the PoA in such detail when they were making the game, and it’s probably not even in the Halo bible. I’m left curious as to how much...

Hello Tumblr
stevenf:
… Anyway, hello again, and please contact your nearest bookie for the odds on this one sticking around.
I hope you do stick around. Tumblr’s a cool place.

jacob:
Inaccurate, but cool!
But which sounds more impressive: this version, or what actually happened?

What font are you? →
I’m apparently Courier, which oddly enough is a font I despised until recently — starting to appreciate the blandness of monospaced fonts because with other fonts I can’t help but stop every once in a while to admire them. Though if I need Courier I would go for Monaco instead because it’s more legible.
