No More iTunes by Florian Pichler

safariextensions:

NoMoreiTunes is an extension for Safari 5 which disables the script that tries to start iTunes when you visit a link to the iTunes Store. It’s annoying and redundant as there is iTunes Preview for Music and Apps now.

This is perfect. I have iTunes in a Space in OS X, and clicking on any iTunes Store link in the past would immediately throw me over to that Space, which can be quite annoying, especially if you’re working on something and the link opened in the background. This is the first Safari Extension I installed.

Mr. Show: US Customs

My favorite sketch from the show. There are few better examples of a perfectly-escalating joke. (You can ignore the first 30 seconds of this clip, they’re related to the previous sketch.)

Remix: Two and a Half Men Groan Track

I’ve seen a lot of Two and a Half Men and it’s not nearly as bad as this makes it seem, but still, this is terrific.

Unanswered LOST Questions (via erik)

See, I was going to write a post about my thoughts on the show and how I actually didn’t mind the ending that much, but then this one video reminded me just how many inconsistencies and issues there were with the show over the years.

#creativity

tumbledthoughts asks: "Was re-watching the Ira Glass video on storytelling, where he talks about the time it takes for your creative output to catch up with your own taste, and it made me wonder: Is there anything still around that you created that you are embarrassed by? Or did you do like Mahler, who destroyed most of his early works?"

The thing about creativity and taste is that they’re always changing. What I thought was great work in 1998 was great work for me in 1998. To judge it solely through my current point of view would be to discredit how I felt at the time. The older I get, the more refined my creativity becomes, but I’m also a very different person now than I was 12 years ago.

Everything you create is useful. You learn from it, you obsess on it, you stress about what people think of it, you tear it all down and do it again. In the end, your specific tastes don’t matter nearly as much as your work ethic and your desire to constantly create great stuff.
