Pixar + The Twilight Zone = Alma
I’ve never been a fan of dolls. This beautifully rendered animated short film explains why.

Chime for Xbox 360
I always appreciate games that are innovative, enthralling and simple to get into. Chime is one of those games. The music you create while manipulating the puzzle board is wonderful as well.
It’s definitely worth 400 Live points.
Photo Grabbr – Flickr Download Tool
I use Flickr as my online photo archiving tool. As such, I have about 27k photos uploaded ranging back to 1999. Sometimes, I want to put together a collection of photos to print or upload into a different gallery. Putting those photos in a set in Flickr is much faster than digging through my DVD archives.
Now, instead of downloading each photo individually in a set, I can download the entire set with a few clicks using Photo Grabbr (for Mac).
The Lifehacker article I read that led me to Photo Grabbr has a suggestion for a Windows and Linux equivalent of this very handy tool.

App Store Expense Monitor
All those $0.99 apps in the iTunes App Store make impulse purchases irresistible. It’s easy to rationalize (hey, gum is more expensive), and therefore, very dangerous.
The App Store Expense Monitor is a handy, free app that scans your mobile application directory and looks up the prices of all the apps you’ve purchased. Granted, it looks up the current prices, so anything you might’ve gotten free or for sale won’t reflect such. You can edit the prices if you want, though.
Even with the inflated total, I still can’t believe how much I’ve spent on apps.

In-N-Out’s Secret Menu
By now, you’ve already heard people ordering items such as a Double-Double Animal Style at In-N-Out. Have you ever wondered what else is on the secret menu?
Badmouth compiled the most comprehensive list of secret menu items I’ve seen.

Still Tasty
As Chris says, this website is “ridiculously useful.” If you’ve ever wondered how long that loaf of sourdough bread in the refrigerator will remain unspoiled or if that apple in the fruit basket is still in its prime, Still Tasty is the website for you.
The interface is simple. Simply type the food your are wondering about in the search bar or browse via category. There’s a Still Tasty iPhone app for $1.99 if that suits your fancy.
Thanks for the tip, Chris!

Shopping for a Mac?
If you’re shopping for a Mac, AppleInsider has a very handy price matrix that compares the prices of current generation Macs across multiple sites.
Equally handy is the MacRumors Buyer’s Guide. This website tracks product releases and recommends whether or not it’s a good time to make a purchase based on an impending new release or update.
That covers when and where to buy–can’t help you with how to buy it, though.

Know Your Supernatural Collective Nouns
Now I’ll be grammatically correct when I scream that I’m being attacked by a liberty of mummies or a devilry of gremlins.
