Downloaded the release version of Lightroom! It has been upgrading the library from beta for 1+ hour. Waiting.

Lightroom still upgrading library, nearly 4 hours now. Giving up for tonight. Disappointed that I didn’t get to play.

Got Gmail working on Motorola Razr!

Read Sin City Volume 4: That Yellow Bastard. Thanks Lou!

Finished watching Stranger Than Fiction. Pretty good movie.

Of course my UPnP media server failed right before leaving. Fixing it so there is music in the house before leaving. Reboot and pray!

Wondering how many connections the most connected person on LinkedIn has.

Just watched Fever Pitch. Maybe baseball is cool. 🙂

Why isn’t there a site like Cogmap for managing a family tree? This seems so obvious.

Making Tab Work "Right" in OS X

I’ve found myself continually frustrated with the behavior of Tab in OS X when filling out forms on web pages. I fill out my name, press tab, fill out something else, and then press tab to select a checkbox but OS X by default won’t let you tab into a checkbox.

I decided I had enough of this and did a little research. I’m happy to report this can be fixed! Go to System Preferences and select your Keyboard & Mouse settings. Switch to the last tab, Keyboard Shortcuts. On the bottom you can switch tab behavior to honor All Controls. Yeah!

Everyone Votes on Wii

Can I just take a moment to say that I’m hugely impressed with what Nintendo is doing with the Wii. I fired up my Wii tonight just to play for a bit and decided to do a system update. I wasn’t expecting one, but found 2.0U was available. I then stumbled into the Shopping Channel and found a new free download in Wii Ware called Everyone Votes. Today was the first day it was available, and I hadn’t heard anything about this.

There is nothing amazing about this new game, but I think it flexes the muscle of the Wii so well. The premise is simple, you answer either/or questions and then predict what everyone else will answer. You play with your Mii. Questions are bounded in regions (states for the US). There are also international questions and you can even suggest questions.

I answered the launch questions and suggested another question. I just love that Nintendo is really thinking “outside the box” as it were with the Wii. No other game manufacturer would think of something like Everyone Votes.

Links to more about Everyone Votes: Wii Nation, Wii Nintendo, Go Nintendo.

Note, you have to do a system update to 2.0U in order to install this. Make sure to do an update before going to the shopping channel.
