Change OSX Leopard Dock appearance

I find the 3D Dock in Leopard annoying, one can't see well which programs are running because the white spot fades in with the clear background. With this command the 3D Dock can be switched back to 2D:

Open the "Terminal" Application and type this:

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES; killall Dock

Antwerp Diamond Heist

Wired published this article in their current issue ("The untold story of the world's biggest diamond heist"). The story sounds like a real-life Ocean's eleven. Leonardo Notarbartolo was released from prison last week.
Here's the website of the article's author, Joshua Davis.

Limbo

limbogame.org

This seems to be the website for a game in its concept-phase. The website hasn't changed for a long time (a year or two since I came across it), so I don't know if this project is still being pursued or has been canned.

The game's visual style reminded me of Flashback, Another World and Heart of Darkness. The Wikipedia pages for these games were quite an interesting read.

Resident Evil 5

Resident Evil 5 is out for the PS3 and 360. It's a great game, I've almost finished it. The co-op feature is absolutely fantastic, it's been a long time since I've had so much fun playing with a buddy (who's on the other side of the planet).

Photos of every corner in Manhattan

The Manhattan Street Corners is my working title for a project to produce a comprehensive photographic portrait of everyday life at street level in daytime Manhattan. Between March and November, 2006, I systematically photographed each and every one of the island’s roughly 11,000 street corners (the exact number is a matter of definition and, in some ambiguous instances, even a matter of judgment).
