Death of Osama Bin Laden
Pretty astounding news... I flip on the news and they're casually mentioning in a "Oh by the way, Osama was killed..." tone that he was, well, dead ( Read more... ) -

Avatar
So I finally got a chance to see Avatar last week. Went on a Wednesday, like 6:45 PM show-- it's a weekday & a weird time-- I figured, the theater would be near-empty. But nope, we get there and it's packed. What. The. Hell???
This movie's been out since December 2009, right? I was in China when there must've been a lot of hype about it back here, ( Read more... ) -
Inuvik ad
I am really liking the song from this Tropicana ad.... the ad is a neat idea also. It reminds me of 30 Days of Night (but without all the people being dragged under their houses and vampires with blood running down their shirts)

Yeah, people using cellphones while driving was pretty bad-- I've seen cars to the left & right, in front and behind of me where they were ALL on phones. It ( Read more... ) -

hot water tank
So last week I'd been having some weird issues with my water pipes.... they were groaning. Like crazy. And they wouldn't stop.... it was like-- they sounded like a digereedoo, you know? It was this deep gravelly noise like a machine; a compressor or something. Very weird ( Read more... ) -
Fuck 3D
No seriously, fuck it! Like what the hell??? Why is 3D being so shoved down our throats right now???
Trends are consumer driven-- lots of people decide to like something and it explodes (or implodes) in popularity. Sometimes this is good: Internet. Sometimes it's bad: American IdolBut at least you can see WHY something is being over-exposed all ( Read more... ) -
Google getting out of China?
Curious statements from Google today.... basically, they were hacked in mid-December 2009, and are now seriously reconsidering whatever deal they have with China.
Very Lando-Calrissian-Darth-Vader-in-Empire... ish.
