I use StumpleUpon regularly, and it dropped me into a blog which has a fascinating post. I’m sorry it took me so long to blog it, but here it is. David Kuo writes a rather interesting piece entitled “Welcome to Appleism, the religion that is Apple.” I don’t want to spoil it all here without […]
Yes, John McClane is back as played by Bruce Willis. The new film Live Free or Die Hard is now out — though the name is somewhat misleading as to the content of the film. I went in figuring the film would be okay, but that I wouldn’t really enjoy it because the franchise is […]
Today I have posted another 16 photos on my Flickr account. In a previous post, I explained the project. With over 3,000 photos. That is not a typo. I am still looking at EVERY SINGLE one and picking the best, but I should be done in the next few days. The response from friends has […]
A number of you have written asking for the latest update on dad. On the plus side, he’s definitely doing better. There is no question of that. He is also definitely not cured. I’d love to tell you he’s in remission, but he isn’t. However the news he got was good news. Only one mass […]
Today I have posted another 18 photos on my Flickr account. In a previous post, I said that I sent all my photos and negatives in to be digitized. These come from the second batch that was returned. There are some priceless photos in here, and they are making me happy and sad and sentimental […]
I am a geek: a proud, card-carrying member of the Geeky People of the World. I’d tell you that many of my friends are just as geeky, but that might offend some of them. So I’ll let them come out of the closet*, as it were on their own. I do the usual stuff that […]
So, every now and again I like to check up on my “missing” friends — you know the people you lost contact with, but you wish you hadn’t. I guess it’s sort of nostalgic. There aren’t that many that I’ve lost touch with that I wish I could reconnect with, but there are a few. […]
Ah, the video wars: HD-DVD versus Blu-Ray. I’ve been a champion of Blu-Ray for a number of reasons, and now it looks like the first real step towards a “winner” has been made. Blockbuster is going to go Blu-Ray. I favour Blu-Ray because it’s a better viewing experience, it stores a larger amount of data […]
Right, this will be a short review. I saw it. I laughed, sometimes when I probably shouldn’t jave. But I was entertained at least. No better or no worse than the previous installment. The Silver Surfer graphics were Fantastic (heh) and their take on the character was less than faithful, but I enjoyed it — […]
I monitor my blog’s traffic to see what draws people in (see previous post) and it’s mostly uninteresting except in a statistical sort of way. However, this Google hit from earlier today made me laugh: “ keenan florida panthers why“ I can’t stand Keenan because I think he’s a prick. I don’t have much nice […]
