I just discovered that Mac OS X's Spotlight, the OS's built-in search engine since Tiger, is quite useful for doing quick, voluntary spell-checking when in applications that can't spell-check for you, like the Terminal. Just type Command-Space, and then type in the word you're not sure about. If you've got it right, among the top hits will be a link to its dictionary definition. If you don't see that, adjust the spelling until it pops up.

Is it weird that the Indiana Jones movies never struck me as particularly racist, but the Lego Indiana Jones video game sometimes makes me squirm a little?

Part of me suspects that neither is worse than the other in this respect, but the Lego game stands out more for being (a) brand-new and thus contextualized in 21st century cultural awareness, and (b) acted out by animated children's toys.

Also, except for watching Raiders a coupla years ago at a friend's house (which may have been the first time I ever saw it start-to-finish), I don't think I've watched the movies as an adult. My sense of heywaitasec was calibrated much looser when I was younger.
