OS X’s VNC viewer is possibly my most-used new feature in Leopard. Here’s a handful of tweaks to make it even more awesome.
EXCLUSIVE! Apple rumor
Our agents can exclusively reveal that, according to sources deep within Apple (ie. a “genius” at the store in Cambridge, who saw the photo of Clyde I have as my laptop’s wallpaper), dogs are allowed in Apple Stores.
According to our source, who cannot be named (because I don’t know his name), even though the mall bans dogs, if you park in the garage below the mall and take the elevator up, it’s only a 10 foot dash to the Apple Store, so the guards won’t spot you.
No indication was given at this time as to rumoured plans for what happens if your dog takes a crap near the iPhones.
Fuck Think Secret! This is where the real Apple gossip can be found.

Snowbasset
It's challenging when there's 8" of snow on the ground, but your legs are only 7" long.
Clyde has also found the new tastiest snack ever -- Snow. He bloody loves eating it. So long as he sticks to the white stuff, we're happy for him.
Apple gives official route to creating your own custom iPhone ringtones. Of course, they only sanction it for “your original songs”, but it’s a big step forward from the lockdown a couple of months ago.
Talk and Q&A given at Google by Randall Munroe, author of XKCD. Notable for a question from Donald Knuth about 22 minutes in!
Clyde in his too-small bed
We won this dog bed in a raffle at a basset rescue event last year, but Bacon never really took to it.
Now Clyde has discovered it and has made it his; Despite the fact that he barely fits without hanging over the edges.
Control AppleScript from Python. The prospect of using Python to hack on my iTunes library is massively exciting!
Flickr launches photo stats — get access and referrer information. Before today, I had no way of knowing that one of my photos is the current Google No. 1 hit for “santa cock”. Thanks, Flickr.
Freeware CD burner app for Windows. If this means I can nuke bloody Nero off my work PC, I’ll be a happy, happy man.

Dopplr’s out of beta, and open for signups. If you ever do any travelling, it’s a great way to find “coincidences” when your friends’ trips collide with yours. Gorgeous login screen too!
“We’ve gone from a country that could not imagine having a black president, to one where people compete to prove their candidate is blacker than the other. Amazing.”
Our house on Street View
Google have added Boston and surrounding cities to Street View. I was rather surprised to see they did our area of Somerville. Here's the outside of our house, with my beat-up Civic proudly on display.
