I read at Gizmodo that the season finale of House will be shot entirely using the Canon 5D MkII. While clicking through the links about this, I stumbled upon this beautiful short film, which happens to be shot with the same camera.
Go watch it. NAO.
Update: Wait…it turns out to be a rip-off of this one:
Both videos are great in their own right, nonetheless.

It’s tax season once more and you can read articles, blogs, tweets, etc. of people getting hell bent because under Obama’s tax program, individuals earning more than $200K and couples earning more than $250K don’t get tax relief.
If you are one of these people, let’s put things into perspective: if you are earning *that* much per year, chances are, you’re doing fine. Don’t be selfish; you can afford it without selling your Mercedes or cutting down on your daily Starbucks Macchiato. If you think you still need that tax cut, you need to re-evaluate your finances and spending habits.
That’s the price of living in the free world, my friends. It’s not socialism…just common sense. In order for our government to provide for its people, it needs to collect taxes…and those who earn more should pay more taxes. It is just wrong to think that you earning $200K a year deserve the same tax incentives as the person earning minimum wage.

I took delivery of a brand new Herman Miller Caper XR. So, what do I think of it so far? Well, one thing’s certain: it forces me sit properly; no slouching or it hurts my back because unlike the seat which is made of mesh material, the back is hard plastic that contours to the sitter’s back. It will take a bit of getting used to.

New Facebook virus…YAY! This, my dear 3 readers, is one of the many reasons why I’m NEVER going to have a Facebook account. EVER.

My new iPad is still awesome. iPhone OS 4 out this summer! It’s a bit a of letdown not to support multitasking in 3G…the rest of the new features are good enough to want a new iPhone…(yeah, right)

Still struggling with Hackint0sh, Bluetooth, and the new Magic Mouse. The Targus BT + MM wakes from forced sleep but NOT from idle sleep. In fact, sometimes you lose BT unless you remove then reattach the dongle; sometimes the machine won’t wake up at all, forcing you to reboot. ANNOYING…but not enough to give up Magic Mouse where I got accustomed to already. I’ve been following this thread and one poster (deviantosx) suggests to DISABLE wake from Bluetooth and just wake up by pressing the Power button if you’re using the Bluetooth keyboard…or if you’re still using a USB keyboard, you can still wake up by pressing a key. Kind of half-baked for now…but at least Bluetooth doesn’t die…yet.

I thought it was just me, but it turns out that there are a number of users who are having wifi issues with the Jesus tablet. Mine isn’t that bad; my signal strength fluctuates rather than being always weak.

I was able to update to 10.6.3 without KPs, but I lost audio. Apparently I need to mess with some kexts to get it working again…I will update this post once I restore audio.
To update to 10.6.3:
Again, at this point…audio is still borked.
Update: Audio restored. I learned from this thread that the new AppleHDA kext doesn’t work very well with the ALC 883 sound hardware. You will need to restore the 10.6.2 version and install the VoodooHDA from MultiBeast. You may also need the ALC883 kext (put it under /Extra folder) However, I read somewhere that this is a temporary fix…eh…well…whatever.
Update 2 (April 4): I got KP twice since the first update yesterday afternoon. I’m not sure what’s causing it…yet. It’s kind of annoying because I never had these KP problems prior to the 10.6.3 update…so it’s either the Sleepenabler or that VoodoHDA kext…or the ALC883 kext… (Upgrade steps updated)
Update 3 (April 6): I started to isolate the cause of the KPs in my Hackint0sh. I removed LegacyHDAPlatformDriver.kext and LegacyAppleHDAHardwareConfigDriver.kext from my /Extra/Extensions folder and rebuilt my Extensions.kext (using Kext Utility) and rebuilt Permissions using the Disk Utility. I also removed my BT dongle thinking it’s causing the KPs. So far, so good. I’m re-plugging the Targus Bluetooth and use my Magic Mouse again and monitor the stability of the system. Can somebody please send me money so I can buy a MacPro? (Upgrade steps updated)
