I just watched a pbs documentary on this. My verdict: No, they didn’t, but the documentary was really cool. ;)
“The Life Aquatic with Thaddeus Venture”
Floating in a Most Peculiar Way
Hmm. A blog from some random dude that combines the Venture Brothers with the Life Aquatic. Highly entertaining - and probably the sort of thing that my English Composition instructor would revel in. That’s probably the reason that I reveled in it.
Ugh. Like two days until I am in school. MF.
WeFunk - radio for your mind
My boss listens to this funk stream every day. They have an assload of downloadable archives. Awww yeah.

Don’t ever record yourself doing anything.
Safe for work, unless laughing is outlawed there.
Line-in/line-out?
Ummm, is it possible to plug something in the microphone input on one’s Mac and have it be mixed into the line-out? I only ask because I would like to play my mp3 player through either the mac speaker or the speakers that I brought to work. I have all the cables, I plugged in all in, and it just… didn’t… work.
Come on, people. I mean, come on already. Jeez.
Mac/Windows/Linux Annoyances shootout!
The window control buttons (close, minimize, maximize) are in the wrong place. Maximize doesn’t do exactly what I want. Windows affixes them in the upper right hand corner, which is good, but doesn’t offer the option of moving them. Winner: linux, with the ability to put them anywhere in the top bar and make them look like anything.
I don’t like the combination of items in the dock. I don’t like process combination in XP, either. Bleah. Of course, I don’t use XP, and if I did, I could turn it off. Winners: Windows and linux - especially kde with the multiple task bar option thingy.
Line endings are like ‘\n\r’ or something ridiculous like that. Windows is not any better with ‘\r\n’. Winner: linux, with ‘\n’
<crschmidt> no, os x is just \r
Mac keyboards and mice are generally crap. I brought a logitech usb keyboard and mouse, and life is reasonably good, except that I don’t have permissions to install the drivers, so the Apple and Alt/Option keys are swapped. Goofy. Many of the keys do nothing - which is sometimes okay because I don’t use a lot of them. Mostly I use the ‘b’ and ‘m’ keys. The Logitech mouse doesn’t work right under linux, and not all the keys are supported. Winner: Windows, unless the drivers can’t be installed, in which case everyone loses.
Viruses: I had one or two viruses on Windows. I had one virus on my Amiga. I have had a few successful and unsuccessful hacking attempts on my various linux boxes, and even an attack on my OpenBSD box. My Mac at work seems to be safe. Winner: t33kid! No, wait, he’s a loser. Winner: Mac! (for now)
