Disney to acquire Marvel Entertainment for $4B -... →
This is crazy.
Pros
Disney distributes Miyazaki films and does an excellent job
Marvel turds will be a lot more polished.
Disney has excellent theme parks and I found the Universal Studios Marvel Adventure Island to be a horrible use of the property (essentially the Marvel elements are limited to some giant 2D representations of Marvel characters, slapped on some generic rides.)
Cons

I love that he made the game free because he and his significant other gave birth to a baby girl …giving away iPhone games as the 21st century delivery room cigar.

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Lego -... →
… I REALLY would love to dork out on Lego and find myself looking into the Lego fan club windows and seeing my sad eyes reflecting in the glass. Now with this really long interview I will probably never finish I can get a little closer. via Grumpy Gamer, aka Ron Gilbert, creator of Maniac Mansion, Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders, and the Monkey Island Games.

I’m HIGHLY ALLERGIC to cats and I think they are better than sharks.
Sidebar — I actually called my allergist when all this Cats v Sharks thing began because I thought maybe I’d get a cat.
Did I ask my allergist about Sharks? Hell no!

I have a feeling that this whole cat v sharks thing will be the equivalent of eating a XL bag of Doritos and dipping them in peanut butter when I wake up tomorrow morning.

Tumblr’s true motives…
In a mere 48 hours Tumblr will be the largest repository for Cat and Shark information in the world. Obviously there will be more on Cats than Sharks though.

Pre-measured bake mixes →
That is crazy smart. Though there are only a few ingredients I think I’ll try making a pizza dough mix ahead of time.
hautenegro:
This is such a simple and clever idea. Not only does it speed up the process, but you’ll always know if you’re out of specific ingredients.
Genius.

We don’t want to kill you. You’re our parents and grandparents and we love you. But if you throw a cranky fit and keep us from getting decent, affordable health care, you can figure out how to work your own goddamn PCs and cable boxes and remote controls from now on.
And it wouldn’t hurt if you’d stop being so bigoted and so freaked out about having a black president...

♥ cats?
I’m allergic to cats but all this recent cat v. shark mumbo jumbo has me thinking it would be nice to have a pet cat as opposed to the imaginary pet dog I’ll get someday when I buy an imaginary house.
Any recommendations on a hypoallergenic breed? Something bred with a poodle would be great.

SpiritedAway cuts down open window clutter.
Awesome desktop wallpaper located here.
I love Spirited Away too.
minimalmac:
While it’s easy to keep clean and minimalist at start-up, my mid-workday desktop is generally a massive dogpile of apps and windows. I try to hide or quit apps I’m not using at the moment, but often forget. Enter SpiritedAway. SpiritedAway checks each running application’s activity, and if an application isn’t...

TextExpander 2.7 update →
Here’s an interesting bit:
TextExpander Touch
Coming to the iTunes App Store
August 26.
With TextExpander touch, you can compose email messages, notes, and tweets on your iPhone or iPod touch using your TextExpander snippet library.
I’m sort of afraid of this. I’ve wished for TextExpander on the iPhone but based on the iPhone software architecture I’m guessing that it will be a...
