I know that I’ll be more than a little geeked over seeing Helvetica when it finally comes out. I don’t want to have to wait for the DVD tho, so I hope there’s a screening in LA that I can catch before that happens. Guess I better add their blog to my feed reader and stay caught up with their announcements…

Can’t Get You Out Of My Head
This isn’t a music blog or anything, but for whatever reason I can’t seem to stop playing these songs over the past week. So I thought I’d share them with the lot of you. Sharing, after all, is caring…
- Interpol – Evil — This is probably one of my favorite Interpol songs out of their entire catalog. Enough people have said that they have a very Joy Division sound at times — to the point where it sounds a bit cliche — and I think this song does a good job drawing a line between the two groups.
- Colin Meloy – Jack The Ripper — I really enjoy what Colin from The Decemberists has done with this Morrissey track. In fact, I really enjoy the whole Colin Meloy Sings Morrisey EP, but this one is quickly replacing Everyday Is Like Sunday as my favorite.
- New Order – Age Of Consent — Speaking of songs quickly replacing one another as favorites, I’ve been swayed towards liking this song a bit more than Temptation. I’m not sure if it’s just because of current circumstances or whatever, but I feel like I really identify with it.
The senduit links expire in a week. If you want them, grab them quickly.

A nice, out of the way desktop Twitter client from the folks at the IconFactory.

Correo appears to be taking the Camino approach to a mail client, which I find fairly refreshing. I’m looking forward to giving this a spin.

“‘My Cage (Silence for Cellphone)’ dispenses with performer and piano and auditorium, instead utilizing a continuous stream of silence produced on a computer, and compressed to standard ringtone format.”

A Slot 1 motion sensor for the DS?! It’s a good time to be a hardware hacker…

I’ve been all about the war against WordPress spam at work lately. This is yet another plugin I need to evaluate.

My friend Kathryn — one of the people who sold me on the Sidekick — muses on the deaf-friendlieness of the iPhone.

This plugin enables your WordPress site to be more resolution friendly to folks viewing your site on a Wii, DS or PSP.

You Got Your iPod In My DS
Man, I love the DS homebrew community…

Friend Coding
You know what I’d like to see? A site where you can select the DS games you own and enter your friend codes. Of course, sites like this already exist — so I’d like to take it a couple steps further…
- A simple social networking aspect would be nice. I’m imagining notifications when an acquaintance add their friend code for a game you already own. Also a simple way to coordinate a time to go online and play against one another would be handy, wouldn’t it?
- One word: Badges. Let me share my friend codes on my blog and allow folks to send me a challenge. After all, I’m always up for a pick-up game of Tetris.
I know it’s half-baked, but I think it would be pretty damn sweet. LazyWeb, do your magic!

Children Of Men
Were it not for my brother mentioning it the other night, I don’t know when I would have been clued into Children Of Men. And now I want to see it, badly. As someone who is a fan of movies and books about dystopian futures and whatnot, I’m seriously all over this.
