My Christmas present to myself was a viewing of Rocky Balboa, in a packed theater of stadium seating. Yep, Sly Stallone can still fill a theater. The movie is pretty much what you’d expect: ESPN runs a virtual boxing match of Rocky (from back in the day) against the current champ Mason “The Line” Dixon. Popular chatter builds up, the old Rocky re-registers for his license, and we have a heavily-billed bout of “Will vs. Skill”.

The one disappointment I had was that the remixed “Eye of the Tiger” soundtrack featured at the end of the trailer was all but absent.

Since becoming Mac-enabled, I had become Workrave-less. I finally found AntiRSI, a similar program for the Mac. It doesn’t appear to keep a history of keyboarding and mousing activity (no more pretty graphs of office productivity), but it does provide smart reminders to take breaks every now and then, so it gets the job done.

And because it’s written natively for Mac, I have to admit that the eye-candy is much nicer than that of the relatively plain-Jane Workrave for Windows and Linux.
