Okay, so this just jumped into my head and I have to put it to digital ink immediately.
They should make a movie about this village, right. And it can be full of hipsters and punks and people who look at you with spite. They live a simple life, of selling knick-knacks, getting high, and protesting everything. And they have this peaceful coexistence with some mysterious force beyond the boundaries of their little dwelling, but of course at some point all hell breaks loose and people are dying and it’s like OH MY GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR VILLAGE. And they hide out inside the hipster video store even though everyone there is an asshole and the prices really aren’t that great.
And then some intrepid young slackers decide to trek beyond the edges of the village, and when they reach the outer limits of it they realize there’s a GIANT CITY AROUND THEM, FULL OF WONDERS.
And they can call it The East Village.
And despite how ridiculous this sounds, I bet you it’d be better than anything M. Night Shaylaman has done!

Just when I was lamenting Mondays and the veritable lack of a weekend I just had, I see this cover on AM New York this morning, regarding the Xbox-induced murder story.

I’m sorry, but that just wins.

My Quicksilver tutorial has been updated for B27. A fair amount has changed recently, as Quicksilver has moved to a plugin-based data module system. If you still haven’t tried Quicksilver yet, or are running an older beta, now is a fantastic time to jump on it.
Also, the old version of the tutorial is available in O’Reilly’s new Panther Hacks book. It’s part of Hack #4, and I do have an author credit in the front of the book if you look hard enough.
