I’m in complete geek overload at the moment. Long rumored but not confirmed until today: Karen Allen is reprising her role as Marion Ravenwood in the upcoming Indiana Jones sequel!


h+ Movie Review: Able Edwards

Wednesday, July 4th, 2007

[Commentary] | [Spoilers]
Science fictions movies do not need to be about a realistic future. If the creators have something to say, they might use the trappings of science fiction.
Able Edwards, the first movie shot completely against a green screen and released the same year as Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, has something [...]


ATB – Trilogy

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

I am only nine songs into my first listen to the new ATB album – Trilogy (iTunes link) – and it is already a favorite. “Renegade” alone deserves to be played over and over again.
There is something about particular artists’ passion and creativity that hits me deep, often because I have trouble wrapping my [...]


Goodbye, Pirating

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

I was not quite there yet.
Although all my digital music and movie downloads are now legal, only most of my television show downloads are. I obtained Naruto from a popular fansub and I obtained Doctor Who just as quickly as it became available Saturday afternoons, using a wonderful program called TVTAD.

I finally got around to watching the first one about radio tonight, and found both a wealth of music options and, in my opinion, confirmation that terrestrial radio is dying a slow and agonizing [...]


DVD’s in 10, Digital Downloads in 5, and then the Grid

Wednesday, June 14th, 2006

A recent The New York Times article published at News.com suggests that although DVD growth has slowed, the format will continue to dominate for many years to come despite competition from the high definition DVD formats, digital downloads, pay-per-view (PPV), and video on demand (VOD).
The conclusion was similar ten years ago when DVD’s were [...]


Best Music Video Ever

Sunday, May 7th, 2006

I cannot help but post this on my blog. I cannot help but play this over and over again. I cannot help but dance around my bedroom like a freak. I cannot help but collapse in giggles.
Loituma is a Finnish act – see video of them performing this song here.
