I got sick of having a cluttered desktop and inconsistent beauty between all of the applications I use. I tweaked TextMate and Terminal, found an awesome background, and finally organized everything on my desktop. Feels so refreshing.
A few links to the awesome apps/plugins I installed:

http://www.eclips3media.com/workshop/2007/12/06/eclips3media-eclm-textmate-theme/ (I modified it a decent amount but this is the base)
http://ciaranwal.sh/2007/11/01/customising-colours-in-leopard-terminal (I also changed the colors here but this is the base, again)
Background from here: http://petercui.deviantart.com/
Things left to do:
- Convert back to Adium and probably do my own skin of it (never found a good one for it and thats why I switched back to iChat)
- Find/make an awesome skin for Firefox
- Keep tweaking Flexbuilder and Eclipse, TextMate now puts both those themes to shame, though the variety makes it easy to spot which is which in Exposé
- Skin Colloquy, very intolerant of anything I’ve found for it so far, though the LovableType (http://blog.plasticmind.com/downloads/theme-colloquy-irc/) theme makes a good base. The main problem here is that Colloquy doesn’t always override the theme settings so you have to dig into CSS.
- And, of course, skin my Tumblr
Other than that I’m fairly happy with where I’m at now.

Holy crap…I honestly didn’t know that Eddie Murphy used to be really funny. What happened?!?!

The thing I was not aware of was that Coke has becoming a generic name for all fizzy drinks in a lot of the south-east USA. Interesting.I’ve always been deeply enthralled by people who say “pop” instead of “soda.”
I laughed so hard when I heard one of my dad’s employees say he was going to go get A POP when I was in Michigan. I completely forgot about learning to call it a soda once I moved to California.
My friend who lived in Boston for awhile told me people there call it tonic. So nutso.
Only older people still call it tonic. Soda has been the norm here for younger generations for a while now. I distinctly remember learning to call it soda when I moved here at 11 from Minnesota. The hardest actually was going from a hard ‘A’ to a soft ‘A’ on a lot of words.

Wow.
Doesn’t seem like much but its refreshing and this kind of discourse and action on a “lazy Sunday” makes me glad that I am where I am.

I disagree. Or, rather, I think serious political discourse can be a much bigger tent than many people assume it is. The evangelical megachurch vote is a rapidly growing demographic with a host of political concerns. It’s a rapidly growing group. And it’s likely to split about evenly between McCain and Obama.
(via squashed)
The evangelical megachurch having power as an entity asking for specific religious-based laws of the government is contrary to everything this country was founded on.
I am for freedom of religion, & against all maneuvres to bring about a legal ascendancy of one sect over another.

QED.
Thief Thief in Allston, MA. I shot this video 2 months ago. Was a good time.
