Fixing the Stupidity of the Flip4Mac Installer ★: John C. Welch:

What happens when you say, dump this installer .mpkg on a bunch of machines at the login window via Apple Remote Desktop or some other tool?

Kubrick Film Art ★: Posters and lobby cards from all of Kubrick’s major motion pictures. This one from 2001: A Space Odyssey is a personal favorite. (Via Kottke.)
