Behind the Mask
Is it a horror movie, or a documentary about a horror movie? Or a horror movie about a documentary of a horror movie? It is none of these. It is simply awesome. A really unique film that amuses and entertains.

If this page looks borked, check the real one.Hollywoodland is a weird movie. Not like Man of the Year, where someone took a comedic (and insightful) premise and tarted it up with a vapid plot about implausible computer fraud, or like Stranger Than Fiction, which was neat but basically Science Fiction for People Who Aren't Nerds; this one, I ( Read more... )

My classes this semester may look like a lot, but as Malcolm X once said, "Moderation in all things." The majority are solid classes, and a few have substantial project work, but there's a surprising amount of smooth sailing mixed in.

In semi-rural Pennsylvania, power outages are very heard of. Not even the full drop of a hat is necessary for a blackout. Sometimes speaking too loudly, or crossing the street at the wrong time, will bring the entire grid down for days. But in the city that software built, it is entirely ( Read more... )

Contrary to the more recent Bonds with an overabundance of Q, gadgets, and invisible cars, the new one had almost none of these (some high-tech gear is involved, but Q and his lab were basically MIA). Instead, Casino Royale was chock-full of the ( Read more... )

The project prototype is now in a usable form. Behold: Glog, the future of my insipid game blogging. The site lacks style and a front page, but the infrastructure is all in place and ready to be abused by the general public. Go on, try itMeanwhile, midterms are starting up, so I'll be having fun ( Read more... )

If this page looks borked, check the real one.The project I alluded to previously is still in early prototype stages, so rather than belabor the mention of my new purchases I shall hence. A trip to a local Electronics Boutique yielded five games for the summary price of one (they're all bargain-bin bombs). In no particular order, except for ( Read more... )
