Loved Firefly the series? Wished it lasted more then 3 monthes (rough guesstimate :P)? Welp it’s not coming back, and no I don’t know of a new movie coming out — but I just found out there’s going to be a MMO based on the show.

[...] Firefly will soon make an unexpected return, not as a TV show, but as a massively multiplayer online game.

I’m like the bringer (well possibly second messenger) of good news to sci-fi fanboy’s the world over. Check out more info at this Wired article: Firefly Reborn as Online Universe

I wonder if they’d consider a Get Rich Or Die Trying-esque MMO for the newfound e-thugs. I’d play it, ’cause maybe they’d do better with that then at FPS’.

I won’t normally do the sports blogging thing (even though I’m heavy into football and occasionally basketball), but holy crap I haven’t seen a QB suck that much since Andrew Walter’s poor performance. 1.3 rating? What the hell is that? My dead goldfish can do better then that.

Yeah, yeah, let’s have that argument of “But he has defenders rushing for him every play and your goldfish only has worms slowly eating at it’s rotting flesh!” Um well, whatever, he still sucked and there’s no excuse for it.
I’m not saying bench the guy, or that maybe the first few games were you know, a fluke. But you’ve got to admit, from the first maybe 5 games he was on fire, then it all went downhill. Maybe defenses just happened to pick up on what he does and what his offensive line does, during their extensive game footage they study — so they can get those sacks and forced interceptions (some not so forced).

Whatever the case may be, I seriously hope he gets it together next week. We need a QB to get and finish in the SB, can’t leave it up to Hester, Urlacher & co. all the time.

Ever since Heroes and Prison Break have come on I’ve been there watching them. Maybe they don’t always make sense, maybe they’re even a little silly at times — but they sure as hell are entertaining.

What do both of these shows have in common you ask? They’re both on hiatus until Jan. and April (might have that wrong, hoping I have that wrong) respectively.

Now I can deal with Heroes not being on ’til near the end of January, but holy crap, April? Do I really need to suffer 24 for months? Not that I even watch the show, but it’s still the bane of good and decent TV.

That’s right. I think Jack Bauer and his days suck. The show isn’t interesting, it’s not cool, and it’s certainly not good TV like all the stupid commercials portray it to be. How many times do people have to watch the show before they realize 24 hours isn’t long enough to thwart a terrorists nuclear attack, giant bear maulings, and plagues of epidemic proportions?

All I have to say is — Do not want.

Stop putting good shows on break ’til god knows when. Not even going to go on about other shows that take way too long breaks (*cough* Soprano’s *cough*).

So since I’ve been downloading apps for OS X (it’s teh win) since July, testing and playing with them, I’ve always had a few gripes seeing as how I only have 512 MB RAM; some programs just use way too much RAM and CPU power.

Now since OS X is BSD based it has all of those lovely little commands you can pop into Terminal to control every little aspect of the OS. But who wants to do that? Especially when you’ve got iPhoto running and it’s being the resource beast that it loves to be, do you really have time to run that coveted kill command? Of course not ’cause you have to edit that photo in Photoshop A.S.A.P. Can you do it without the tedious wait though? Nope, ’cause Photoshop isn’t a UB yet (hurry up Adobe).

That’s where this little application Freeze Frame comes in. Since you’re busy and don’t have time to go to Terminal and use kill, this app will do it for you and save you the hassle. It even has a feature where it’ll focus the foremost application in use (great for when you rip DVD’s (this is according to the developers site (I’m not registered so I don’t know from personal experience how well it works, but I’ll trust their word)).

Out of the few applications I’ve used for this very reason, this is the most minimalist I’ve found and does exactly what it’s supposed to.

So if you’ve got a Mac and do a lot of DVD ripping or other resource intensive stuff, check out this app, also if you go to osx.iusethis.com you can find other similar apps and judge for yourself. Check this app out. You know you need it.
