I’ve mentioned this early Woody Allen movie before, here and here, but not in great detail. As I am short of time now, I won’t do it here either. But here’s the wikipedia entry for this great film.

What’s Up, Tiger Lily? is the first film directed by Woody Allen. He also wrote and appeared in this 1966 comedy, which utilized clips from Kokusai himitsu keisatsu: Kagi no kagi (literal English title: International Secret Police: Key of Keys, 1965, [1]), a Japanese spy film. Instead of translating the film, Allen added completely original dialogue that had nothing to do with the plot of the original Japanese film. By putting in new scenes and rearranging the order of existing scenes, he completely changed the tone of the film from a James Bond clone into a comedy about a secret egg salad recipe.

Here are some related egg salad recipes. If anyone would like to see this movie, there’s a link on my FaceBook. =D

Adventure game Secret Files: Tunguska coming to Wii, DS – Joystiq

The latest adventure game to hit 2/3 of Nintendo’s Pillars of Power is the strangely named Secret Files: Tunguska. It looks plenty awesome though. There’s a PC version out now, but I think I’ll wait.

I just find this comment very funny.

Apple – Mac OS X Leopard – Features – Accessibility

Lost in all the hoopla, are a couple of other important new features that will be in Leopard. Above, is a link to experiencing a very nice one. A new Text-to-Speech voice named Alex, that sounds very natural.

Another is that Photo Booth can now record video and do all the cool backdrop effects seen in iChat. The DVD Player now has full-screen controls, and a time slider at long last. Front Row works and looks like Apple TV.

One ‘feature’ I’m not happy about though, is the non-inclusion of a new blue Aqua wallpaper image. You don’t fuck with tradition. The green grass used during the keynote looked very Vista to me. And Steve claimed nobody uses the blue wallpaper for long, they like to put their own digital photos up.

In my own experience, no matter what I change the wallpaper to, I always come back to the blue Aqua gradients. Because they work, are soothing, and don’t distract the eye from anything else on the desktop. If any delicious generation developers can code a shareware app to randomly create those Aqua-style wallpapers, they’ve got my $15.

Attention people. This is art.

Gizmo Project now allows voice chat with MSN contacts over the Mac client (something Microsoft’s own Mac MSN does not do). In trying it out last night with Stuart, I had it add my entire MSN contact list (recommended option). Bad move. Deleting contacts from the Gizmo contact list also deletes them from your MSN contacts!

So I have added everyone to my new MSN again, for the 2nd time in a week. Sorry about that. Don’t dismiss the request it because it was already done once. Thanks.

Nevermind that it’s out for Windows too… Holy mother of God, the Mac Safari 3 beta is working perfectly on Blogger, Google Calendar, and Google Docs pages. It now has an inline Find, just like Firefox. And I am very, very tempted to move back.
