Wednesday, July 9th, 2008Be Kind Rewind
Sunday, July 6th, 2008More touching than expected. Lots of the obvious comedy you’d expect from the trailer, with more plot than you might expect from the premise. They of course have to make a dig on copyright issues with Signorney’s character.
Strange, the last words on screen are a statement that no one got paid for using tobacco in the film.
Persepolis
Friday, July 4th, 2008I was impressed with the movie persepolis, an interesting animated feature. It tells the tale of growing up in Iran, thru the revolution and beyond, from the perspective of a little girl. It was an unusual animation style, that worked well for the story. Definetly worth watching.

I’d Rather Be Dead Department
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008In the latest installment of medical ghoulery designed to help us cheat death, researchers have found a way to improve survival of rats, after extreme blood loss, by giving them whiffs of hydrogen sulfide, aka “rotten egg smell”. Don’t get me wrong, if I’ve been shot after shooting my mouth off once too often, by all means, do what it takes to rescue me, just also come up with something I can take so I never remember the specifics of how you saved me.
boingboing are cowards
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008Having now read their “excuse”, I’ve got to say that I will never link to nor read from BoingBoing again. Their actions have undone any good they ever attempted to do in the realms of open and honest communication, and I will always remember them as a bunch of slimy cowards that got caught trying to lie about being the biggest hypocrites since Fred Phelps.
Well OK, maybe only half a Phelps worth of hypocrisy.
But still…they are being dishonest about their rationale for this kerfuffle. They say they wanted to spare ’someone’ embarrassment. But that’s not the truth. The truth is contained in their statements about wanting to silence Violet Blue by denying her links. If they tell everyone they aren’t linking to Violet Blue anymore, that’s just going to encourage people to search for her themselves, and they haven’t cost her any traffic. It’s obvious they thought they could sneak in her disappearance from their web, and avoid sending any more traffic her way.
EPIC FAIL
It’s almost like Cory was right, back when he lived by his principles, instead of merely espousing them, that honesty is the best path thru dramatic waters.
Skin Pizza
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008I’m reading one of my daily fave sites, i love bacon, and they have a picture of a sign for skin pizza, 4 for $10. Turns out it’s a potato skin pizza. Just one missing word makes the difference between information and fun-formation I guess =p.
