BAFTAs
My wife and I ended up watching a bit of the Orange BAFTAs last night on BBCAmerica and I was struck by just how well-run the entire affair was. It came in on-time, each of the acceptance speeches was short…

Assorted Reviews
[Originally created a week ago and just completed/posted today] I haven’t blogged in a while, so I thought I would run down some of the excellent media experiences I’ve encountered recently. Jak II. Extremely entertaining. Mix the first J&D game…
Blogging From The In-Laws
