The Strokes’ ‘You Only Live Once’ Video ★

Nice homage to 2001: A Space Odyssey, directed by Warren Fu. Pretty good song, too. (Thanks to reader Dave Miller.)

Freeware (donations encouraged) utility by James Bucanek and Dan Frakes that allows you to change the short username associated with a user account on Mac OS X.

92-Year-Old Daring Fireball Fan ★

Richard Wanderman:

Tomorrow my mother will be 92 and one of the things she wanted for her birthday was a new “uber-geek” t-shirt. What better t-shirt for a die-hard Mac user than a DF classic.

Happy birthday, Mrs. Wanderman.

Microsoft’s Zune: Still Shy of One Million Sales ★

I don’t think it’s worth making a big deal over whether they’ve already sold one million Zunes or whether they will by the end of June. My question is, if they’ve sold even close to one million of them, how come I’ve never seen one person using one? Seriously, I’ve never seen a single Zune in the wild.

Google Maps Usability ★

Good idea. I hope someone on the Google Maps teams sees this.

Typogrify Examples ★

SmartyPants + Widon’t combination for Django.

‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ Sneak Peek ★

Trailer for new animated TV series.
