Great page of tips for OS X Lion

Tidbits has a great page of little features and tips for OS X Lion. Some of them are just fun – like the ability to use Emoji in Lion – while others over some of the annoyances from moving to a new OS.

Star Wars: The Old Republic up for pre-order

For you MMO geeks:

Star Wars: The Old Republic Collector’s Bundle

Star Wars: The Old Republic regular edition

And… shut out of Lion.

Installed Lion on my MBP, installed everything, got up and running. Then installed the Razer Orochi drivers, restarted as it wanted, and suddenly I can not log in. I ssh in and tail the logs and see:

Jul 20 22:58:00 thunderbolt SecurityAgent[105]: Login Window login proceeding
Jul 20 22:58:00 thunderbolt loginwindow[61]: Login Window - Returned from Security Agent

Booting from the DVD now to see if I can repair something. Grrrrr.

App Exposé in OS X Lion

Mission Control essentially becomes Exposé in the older versions. App Exposé replaces Witch with per app Exposé. This feature is going to be great when dealing with multiple spreadsheet windows.

Lion is out.

Dinner.

Contrary to what some friends think, I don’t go out to eat that often. Tonight’s dinner was a ribeye marinated in beer, grilled asparagus, a malbec, and, yes, rice. Delicious, delicious rice.

Founders Cerise

Pours with a light head, strong cherry flavor, but not overpowering. Sweeter than some fruit beers, but not cloying. 6.50% ABV.
