Fellowship 9/11

If you haven’t yet seen the extremely entertaining Fellowship 9/11, a funny send-up of Michael Moore’s execrable Fahrenheit 9/11, then I suggest you do so, immediately.

Shaun of the Dead

This is just too funny. What do you get when you cross every John Romero movie with a bit of Evil Dead/Army of Darkness and the BBC’s The Office? Why, Shaun of the Dead, of course. From the looks of the trailer, it should be a riot.

Be Careful What You Wish For

We just got a new Flavia hot beverage machine installed at work and, for the record, while idle, it makes a sound almost identical to the one made by that freaky Zoltar fortune telling machine in Big. I’m almost too frightened to check whether the Flavia Flav is actually plugged in, for fear of the [...]

The Bourne Supremacy

My wife and I went to see The Bourne Supremacy two weekends ago and I’m just now getting a chance to jot down my thoughts on the movie. I heartily enjoyed it and, as a genre film, it succeeds fairly well, however, I don’t think it’s worthy of the praise heaped upon it by other [...]

Oh Please….

As a long-time Mel Brooks fan, I have always been bothered by the lack of a single obtainable version of Blazing Saddles that includes all material made for the film. If you’ve ever 1) watched the VHS or DVD version and then 2) watched the edited-for-TV version, you will note vast discrepancies between the two. [...]

- My Move To The Mac (Encapsulated In A Few Brief Tweets)
  published on Feb 4th, 2013 in Linux, Macintosh, Open Source Software
  I had a mini-discussion with Neil Stevens about the genesis of my Mac use, sparked by the news that GNOME is moving to JavaScript as its primary development language. I used to be a strict Linux-only user and tended to look down on Macs as mere playthings. I’ll let the Tweets tell the rest of [...]

  Fountains of Wayne vs. Lena Horne vs. The Wiseguys vs. Grease vs. Karen Young. This has no right being as good as it is.
- “How Will You Measure Your Life?”
  published on Dec 21st, 2012 in Parenting, Videos
  This TEDxBoston talk from Clayton Christensen is incredible. In it, he talks about why not just nations, but companies, families and individuals fail and how, so often, we measure precisely the wrong things in order to succeed, whether we want to be good businesspeople, citizens or, most importantly, parents. How will you, and ultimately God, [...]
