Death To The Old Gray Geek!

All becomes clear now.
Let’s try some Google sleuthing. Google Search Phrase: VizaWeb sucks. First hit? A recent entry by none other than Leo Laporte formerly of TechTV fame.
It seems as though Leo’s site uses VizaWeb and he has been recommending them for others desiring of hosting solutions. The client base of VizaWeb has apparently quintupled in short order.
This is not to excuse VizaWeb, for their conduct is truly inexcusable. If they are not able to support 5x as many customers as they once had, then perhaps they shouldn’t freakin’ allow that many people to sign up at once. It kills the experience for everyone, or at least those who aren’t as famous as Leo Laporte and thus apparently able to get VW to answer their every hosting beck and call.
Arrrrrgh!

Blogging From The In-Laws: Day 9 (Recap)

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
I got a chance to go see The Life Aquatic with my brother-in-law yesterday. We both found it to be highly entertaining, although you may have to be a bit of a fan of Wes Anderson’s other works (Rushmore, Bottle Rocket, and The Royal Tennenbaums) or at least have a dry sense of humor in order to enjoy it fully. The language is also a bit rougher around the edges, so if your stomach turns at more than a few F-bombs, I’d avoid it.
The entire cast turns in quirky performances but I felt that Willem Dafoe stole the show with his portrayal of the Belafonte‘s German engineer, Klaus. I won’t ruin the movie by attempting to describe it, but I must say that the best scene, in my not-so-humble opinion, involves the storming of an abandoned 4 star hotel on a remote Pacific island.
All-in-all, I’d give it an enthusiastic thumbs up.
