A Scanner Darkly
I don't know how I missed this, and it might be old news to some, but I just finished reading Philip K. Dick's A Scanner Darkly because I knew they were making a film of it, and I just found the trailer.
http://www.apple.com/trailers/warner_independent_pictures/a_scanner_darkly.html
God, I didn't know Linklater was Linklaterizing it, but it actually looks bad ass, and I couldn't imagine a better way to convert A Scanner Darkly to screen than to actually make it animation. God, that looks awesome. Philip K. Dick fans may finally be able to rejoice over a PROPER adaptation of Philip's work after the shitfest the other stuff has been. (This is where I rant on about Blade Runner being a load of crap regardless of how much Philip seemed to apprecate it.)

I love you Greasemonkey
Alright people, gather round. I present to you the return of the much anticipated and bitched about message popup for comment previews. Get it while it's hot. Here's a preview of this action: http://www.stoldark.com/Shack/Popup/screenshot.gif
You'll need Firefox and Greasemonkey, preferrably the latest ones because I can't be bothered testing for older versions. Go here for more details as well as installation instructions:

Oh, and this works for DThread only. I don't have any current plants on extending it for other modes.

A few people were complaining about the script being slow, so I did some benchmarks and am pleased and a little ashamed to announce that I found the source of the problem and have released yet another update to one of the most gigantic/useless hunks of javascript ever written. (haha)
The FilterBar was taking 1.5 seconds to draw on my PC, and I now have that down below 200ms. Another complaint was that the filter was running when the iframe updated, and that problem has been corrected as well.
I removed the scrollIntoView() fix since it doesn't really fit in there and I've created a stand-alone version of it. If you don't have the stand-alone version yet, you'll need ot grab that when you update your Filter script.

80 minute video from Kiken showing off 16 different Neo Geo shmup titles. Roughly 4 minutes devoted to each game, with commentary by Kiken explaining various aspects of the gameplay systems at work along with providing a sort of audio review of the game. Very entertaining and informative if you're even remotely interested in neo geo games or shmups.

Speaking of which, I'm looking forward to finding another interesting read, and I'd like something of similar nature, so I'm considering re reading Heart of Darkness (though I don't think I ever read it all the way through in the first place), and also The Island by Huxley, but perhaps you guys can offer up some recommendations - something right up the alley with the books I've mentioned...
