I recently re-discovered a gem of an app for Mac that I believe to have downloaded several months ago called Quinn.

For as much as people tend to rag on Mac OS for its small selection of games, Quinn is, surprisingly, a free, bang-up rendition of Tetris (or the “popular falling-blocks game which, according to the Tetris Company, must not be named here,” according to the site). I can honestly say that its being a game aside, Quinn’s interface ranks as one of the best I’ve encountered on Mac. With its multi-player functionality, and ability to host games, I know that I’ve spent countless hours trying to top others’ scores as well as my own.

If you’re not a serious gamer, but are interested in a largely mindless and simple, classic game to occupy those few spare moments you might have in your day — which may be far too little time once you become as obsessed with it as I! — I highly recommend Quinn.

Quite a bug indeed — it won’t show any of my album art!

I’ve restarted iTunes several time, but to no avail. Perhaps a reboot is in order.

Anyone else had this happen to them? If so, how did you fix it?

Update: Looks like a reboot did the trick — problem resolved. Some other programs were acting kind of wonky, crashing when opened, but it seems as though the reboot fixed this, too. Strange while it lasted.

I feel bad for them, those icons on my dock. Never again will they have as much fun as they used to, bouncing around before going to work. ‘Twas a gig and a half more RAM that did the whole bouncing thing in, and honestly I can’t say I regret it.
