Robots Are Forever

Rob­bie the Robot has a con­sid­er­able film career that spans fifty years. He has been star­ring in film since just after being born (in 1955) all the way up until appear­ing in Pamela Ander­son­’s tele­vi­sion show last year and an AT&T com­mer­cial this year. Many humans would kill for that kind of suc­cess, although I… Con­tin­ue read­ing Robots Are Forever

Wii Havin’ Fun Now

Okay, so we’ve had the Wii for a cou­ple of days and I’m final­ly try­ing to find some time to blog about it. I’ve real­ly just been being occu­pied with play­ing, but I’m going to say that I want­ed to Angela to have a chance to play some as well before I wrote much. I guess… Con­tin­ue read­ing Wii Havin’ Fun Now

Wii’re Crazy

I wait­ed in line overnight at the Cen­tral Rich­mond Tar­get for the launch of the Nin­ten­do Wii con­sole. It was loads of fun, and the Wii is even bet­ter. How­ev­er, I’m real­ly tired and need to eat and go to the office for a cou­ple of hours this after­noon. I’m also using the TS defense… Con­tin­ue read­ing Wii’re Crazy

Moving Pictures

I’m going to a post-marathon par­ty at some friends’ house tonight so we can all cel­e­brate not dying last Sat­ur­day morn­ing. Angela took some great pho­tos of them, so I’ll Flickr ’em1 and have Tar­get print them for me. At ¢20 for a 4“x6” 2, com­bined with the fact that Tar­get is only about 3/4″… Con­tin­ue read­ing Mov­ing Pictures

My Google Shift

I’ve been slow­ly adopt­ing using Google’s office-like tools more and more. I know, G‑Mail is so last year, and it’s a bit sil­ly to just now be talk­ing about me get­ting into it. I have no real inten­tion of just giv­ing up my POP e‑mail account or stop­ping my use of Out­look to man­age e‑mails… Con­tin­ue read­ing My Google Shift

Battlestar Great-showica

The main cast of Bat­tlestar Galac­ti­ca on the set of the Galac­ti­ca’s hang­er. I just fin­ished watch­ing the Sea­son Three pre­miere of Sci­Fi Chan­nel’s Bat­tlestar Galac­ti­ca. I just want to go on the offi­cial record to say that BG is the great­est show ever on tele­vi­sion. That’s right, bet­ter than The West Wing. Bet­ter than… Con­tin­ue read­ing Bat­tlestar Great-showica

“Who Killed The Electric Car?”

“Who Killed The Elec­tric Car?” asks, and hopes to answer, just that. The film is a doc­u­men­tary about the fate of the GM EV‑1 project and sim­i­lar ev projects by oth­er auto man­u­fac­tur­ers, writ­ten and direct­ed by Chris Paine. (Image cour­tesy of Wikipedia. This is con­sid­ered to be a fair use of pro­mo­tion­al mate­r­i­al.) I’ve… Con­tin­ue read­ing “Who Killed The Elec­tric Car?”

Web 2.0 Confusion

Jason Kot­tke has a post about word fre­quen­cy analy­sis on Web 2.0 def­i­n­i­tions by design­ers. I was real­ly sur­prised to see that nei­ther social, inter­ac­tion, nor com­mu­ni­ty ranked up at the top. Did I com­plete­ly miss out on what Web 2.0 is all about, or was it all just the ajax fad? I don’t sup­pose… Con­tin­ue read­ing Web 2.0 Confusion
