The terrorists are bugs!

Not to hurt the good name of bugs by association, but I think this comparison really works. It was after watching and reading a lot about terrorists lately and then watching a documentary and reading an article on bug stings and bites that I realized the similarities. Insect stings cause a lot of pain without […]

A Sound of Thunder

This is the worst movie of the year. I haven’t even seen close to all of them, but as a person who saw every movie for 6 years, I know the worst movie of the year when I see it. It actually might not be the worst, this movie was made 2 years ago which […]

The 40 Year Old Virgin

I saw the poster for this movie and thought it didn’t look too promising. Then I saw the trailer and realized that this is a must-see movie. Yeah, I’m a little late, but so was he! I was right, this was a must-see movie for me. I enjoyed it from beginning to end and there […]

I won something!

So I entered the TopCoder Open sponsor track competition (since I work for a sponsoring company I couldn’t compete in the main competition (not that I had ever heard of it before)) and since there was no prize money for the sponsor track my company said they would give prizes for the top 3 employees.

Yellow – The fruits of CinemaSports

The film that D4 (Dan, Dallas, David, and myself) made last weekend have been put into a downloadable format here. If you want to see what kind of short film you can make in 10 hours (plus a little post-processing by David this past week) you should watch it. It’s about 47MB and requires QuickTime […]

Icelandic Coke

mo brought me back some Coca-Cola from Iceland it comes in a fairly tall 0.5L can (16.8 fl.oz. for those of you using english units). It has the same 5 ingredients as Coke here, but the feel of it is smoother with almost a soft fuzzy feel. You could get a similar feel by chewing […]

Saw

I wanted to see Saw when I noticed that the dvd box for it was clear and the dvd was printed to look like a saw blade. Now that I have seen it, I’d had to say that it is a pretty good and suspenseful movie and if you like those then you should see […]
