Shackers, please list some good ambient instrumental music for listening to while programming. Instrumental-only is important. It's less distracting. Links to Amazon MP3 albums would be awesomely helpful. Album names otherwise. I like to listen to whole albums, not individual tracks.

You know what makes me sad? The fact that no one in the U.S. wants to do traditionally animated films anymore. I love the tech of 3D animation, but I'm tired of absolutely every film being CG now. In the late 90s we were finally getting competition against Disney, with films like The Prince of Egypt and The Iron Giant coming out and being above and beyond anything Disney had done since the Lion King, and then suddenly Toy Story and Shrek came out and everything went to 3D.

It's just frustrating when you look at shorts like The Little Match Girl that show you can still get the great look of 2D animation while using the 3D tools the animators are used to. After seeing Kung-Fu Panda I couldn't help but think about how cool it would have been to see the entire film done in the style of the opening dream sequence.

TLDR: I'm tired of 3D animation, bring back ink and paper!

time to buy some GM stock
http://money.cnn.com/2008/09/11/autos/volt_official_reveal/index.htm?cnn=yes
To charge the batteries, drivers will plug a cord into one of the ports just ahead of each of the side mirrors. The cord can then be attached to an ordinary home electrical outlet.

The car will cost "less than purchasing a cup of your favorite coffee" to recharge, and use less electricity annually than a refrigerator. The Volt should cost less than 2 cents per mile to drive on electricity, GM said, compared to 12 cents a mile on gasoline at a price of $3.60 a gallon

So what did everyone think of Sara Conner Chronicles last night?

After the premier, I felt like this one was quite a bit of a let down. Many things were glossed over or unexplained and it hurt the episode. Is John at a new school or the old one? He gets the English teacher wrong, sloppy, right? Also, wtf with Cameron and Sara getting jobs at a nuke plant in 1 day? And as temps? All I needed was a line about Cameron hacking something somehow to get them in the system. Lame. How about transfers to help with the relaunching of the plant? I also find the new actresses lame. Shirley doesn't look hot at all and can't act at all. Also, transforming in broad daylight in your car where anyone could see you? Good idea? And Riley or whatever is ugly and boring. And finally, I'm not really entertained by Cameron acting so weird. I liked her before. But needing time to think (seriously, what?) and being less forthcoming and having those moments where everyone is all "omg is she good or bad?" feels cheap.

I like the show, and really (surprisingly) enjoyed last season. But I'm a bit bored right now, and I think the writing is sloppy at the moment.

Google Chrome for bleeding-edge folks who still want updates

A few people have been wanting to run a version of Google Chrome that's a little more bleeding-edge than our beta releases (which are a good month behind our trunk right now). Up until now there hasn't been a good solution for this: you can download and install a one-off autobuild of our trunk, but it's Chromium rather than Google Chrome, it has no autoupdates, and there's no QA or even unittesting so the build isn't guaranteed to work at all.

We now have a solution for this. Our autoupdater has two "channels": Dev and Beta. Right now everyone is on Beta, but if you go to http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel/ , you can switch to the Dev channel, where we've just released 0.2.152.1, chock full of snazzy fixes, like making YouTube hang less, making right-clicking on Google Spreadsheets work, and fixing on-demand updates on Vista SP1 w/o UAC.

Going this route means you'll be using a less-stable product, but it will still be Google Chrome and will have at least a little bit of QA, and most importantly, you'll stay on the autoupdate path, which means you'll continue to get stability and security fixes as we do them without having to manually update all the time.

My 3rd phone interview with the people at this job in CA went well, I think. Nice guy.

I have no idea how many more interviews I have to go through. I'm betting 3 or 4 more, eventually working up to some managerial types. So far I've just talked to the team lead and other team members, all of them swank developers who are heavily involved in the perl community and do some really cool work. If they end up liking me after all these phone interviews they'll fly me out. Luckily I haven't talked to any of them more than once, so they haven't been able to catch on to my obvious deep character flaws.

Anyway, still not sure if I could handle moving to the LA area from Kansas City. And I actually have a question for you guys related to that!

We found out this week that my brother and his wife are going to have a baby. My parents will become grandparents for the first time. I've been worried about moving away (for numerous reasons but this is one) because my parents are getting up there in age and have health issues, they get help from their church but I still am other there a couple times a week doing heavy lifting, etc. Also, as some of you know, my mom tried to commit suicide last fall because of her health issues (Addison's disease, fibromyalgia, various debilitating conditions) and I don't know how she would take it if her last child moved away. Heck I haven't even told her I've been interviewing yet.

My question is this, for you guys and gals who have children or are uncles or aunts, how did your parents change once that happened? Did they become less focused on their other family members or did they become more clingy?

TIA

Haha--so I'm playing Force Unleashed and the very first level you're playing as Vader.

So I'm picking up rocks and anything else along the way to throw at throw as [wookies]o and apparently I was picking up Storm Troopers too as I suddenly unlocked: "Worst Day-Shift Manager Ever" (killing 12 ST with vader during the first level). Very funny! It actually made me laugh out loud. Yes, I actually LOLOLOL.

Oh and I feel really awful killing all the wookies in the first level too--man. Its like killing doggies because they make that Hurhuhuhuh noise. :[
