This week I watched 3 hyped movies that I found to be average at best; 2012, The Hurt Locker and The Hangover.

Woody Harrelson Dies In It

The first one I forgave because it never really promised to be anything more than just another corny disaster movie. 2012 ranked well below “Independence Day” and “Armageddon”, which of course had a lot of superstar firepower that 2012 did not, but it fell short of even The Day After Tomorrow as what I would call a “good” disaster movie. At one point I shouted “bullshit” and invoked the wrath of my wife telling me to “keep my comments to myself” and literally 60 seconds later heard a “aww that was bullshit” from her, which I laughed at. WTF was Woody Harrelson doing in this film? I guess he owed someone a favor. I haven’t seen anything quite as corny as this since Keanu Reeves jumped a 100′ gap in a highway overpass with a city bus in the movie “Speed”. Overall 3/5 stars from me, and that’s basically an E for effort on the special effects and acknowledgement that the producers never adverstised the film as something it wasn’t. Continue reading »

One of my kids got a Nintendo DSi for Christmas and we’ve been playing with an App called “Flipnotes”.

Here’s what we’ve done so far:

So you’ve got an Ethernet-capable device (like an xBox 360)  that is too far away from your broadband router to connect directly and you don’t want to spend 80 bones on something like a Microsoft xBox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter. You’re just geeky or nerdy enough to be dangerous [not only do you not mind a little command line stuff, you actually like it] with computers and home networking and maybe you’re even the “go to guy” that friends and family call on when they need some work done on their machine. Restore to a prior point and clean off all of that spyware crap and they think you’re a genius.

If this comes close to describing you then chances are good that you’ve got a lot of components in a box at the bottom of your closet, or in a deep drawer in a desk or all over the house in “touch it and die” caches. I’ll clean it up soon, thweet thweet, I promise. Love you! ♥ Continue reading »

Am image I captured at lunch today with my HTC Touch Pro (phone).

It’s a dead leaf mantis of some kind. Click on it and view the original image for more detail. It creeped me out too much to get any closer than this.
