The word of the day is trdilbrtinh. Was trying to type resilvering. Guess I should occasionally look at the keyboard.
The Book of Mormon (The Musical), An Opinion
The Book of Mormon is exactly what you would expect it to be. Stone and Parker (South Park) teamed up with Lopez (Avenue Q) and made an old fashioned musical with modern irreverence. At least that’s what the critics and marketing say.
Osophy on Unhelpfulness, Unclarity of
Some people try to be as helpful as they can. I try to be as obfuscating as I can’t.
Official Google Blog: Advanced sign-in security for your Google account
I highly highly recommend this to anyone who uses a Google account. Yes, it is a minor inconvenience when you first get started, but so many of my friends and family have gotten their email accounts hacked that it is definitely worth it. If you value your Google account and anything that is attached to it – emails, pictures, any online banking or bill paying you may do – please strongly consider turning on two-step authentication for your account.

Michael Moore: Some Final Thoughts on the Death of Osama bin Laden
Most of what Mr. Moore says here makes sense, regardless of his politics. Read it and decide for yourself. Not all of his logic holds up 100%, but the sentiment is there. For the most part, I’m with you, Michael. A couple points he makes:

If Stephens’ bill passes, it would mark the third of a dozen laws repealing tax breaks for businesses and passed in 2010 to be undone this year.

AppleInsider | Apple releases dev preview of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion with AirDrop, FileVault
It looks to me like Apple is moving Mac OS X towards an interface similar to their touch-only devices like the iPhone, iPad, and iPod. I would surely like to see a full-on Apple computer running OS X but in a touchscreen/tablet format. Perhaps with a bigger screen I could use it for one purpose I deem the iPad’s display too small: digital sheet music (for piano).
