Let's see if I can remember how to use this thing.

So, I figured it would be appropriate to update my LJ with this, seeing it was exactly five years, to the day, after lilalo first posted here, that I bought plane tickets to return to Romania.

That was the day it all changed. The technologies of human endeavor racing to the point were any future advancements could occur at the speed of thought. Some called it the singularity, others rapture. Those first days it seemed that heaven had been rendered on Earth. We were wrong; the daemons now walk among us, and our prayers go unanswered ( Read more... )

Don't know how many people still follow me here, but if you do it may be your lucky day. I have a few more Google Wave invites to hand out. I'm trying to spread them around my various hang-outs so I may bring different parts of my online community there.

If you want to know more about Google Wave ask here, and I'll post details. If you want to ( Read more... )

I was on the fence about buying Ghostbusters on Blu-ray. I love Ghostbusters, but I've heard that the high-def transfer wasn't the best. But Amazon has it for $13.99, and a $5 off coupon code "GHOSTBLU". At $8.99 I don't care what the picture looks like.

Original Music by
Bruno Coulais

Netflix pulled a dirty trick this weekend: They dared to add Saturday receiving and shipping. Which would ordinarily be awesome, but in this case defeated my well laid plans to return three discs on Friday to snag new releases on Monday. Instead they skipped over the new releases and sent me the next items in my queue.

So in a fit of inspired ( Read more... )
