Over the last two weekends, I did something I hardly ever do nowadays. I went to the movies. I don’t have kids, and generally I have time to go. For me, not going to the theater is all about the quality of the experience. Netflix and a reasonably nice TV trumps a crappy quality version [...]

I really liked the new Star Trek movie. I had actually written the whole franchise off a few years ago, after Enterprise once again disappointed me with how unlike the original series it was, and even how dark and adolescent it was. I had some trepidation about the new movie. First off, though I think [...]

I’m a big fan of Netflix. They get me my movies on time and in great shape. So I enjoyed this peek into one of their sorting facilities. Made me think I should write a nice note and pop it in my return envelope. The people at the local center do a fantastic job!

When I first rode “Toy Story Midway Mania” a few months ago, I was really underwhelmed. I mean, it’s a good ride, don’t get me wrong, but I didn’t get off going, “Wowee zowee! That was something I’ve never seen before!” You know that feeling — when you step off say, “Mission:Space” at Epcot and [...]

Natasha and I bought a Dyson Animal Vacuum Cleaner a few years ago and it was one of the best purchases I feel we ever made in terms of quality and value. The vacuum sucks up dust like a black hole sucks up light. The pet attachment that comes with the Pet version is awesome [...]

The Barenaked Ladies (BNL) just released a new album called, amusingly, Barenaked Ladies Are Me (which, evidently, is meant to be read “Army”, in reference to folks like me, who are part of their ever growing legions of fans). Over the last couple of years, this band has really matured. In cooking terms, it’s like [...]

Tonight I got to experience the new Expedition: EVEREST attraction at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. I was chosen a few years back to be honored as a “Partner In Excellence”, one of the highest awards a Disney Cast Member can receive. The award comes with a lifetime of benefits, like getting special early sneak [...]

First off, let me start off my review by saying I liked “The Phantom Menace” and “Attack of the Clones”. No, they don’t measure up to the original trilogy in terms of story or emotional involvement to me, but they had some incredible visuals, some great characters, and the lightning storm Jedi swashbuckling that has [...]

Couple of posts back, I posted about how I am using the Eye Toy as a web cam. Well, I also mentioned the reason I now have two Eye Toys is that I desperately wanted to play the new Eye Toy game for the PS2, Antigrav. I encountered the game in a local Best Buy, [...]

Well, World of Warcraft launched today, so I rushed out and bought…Sid Meier’s Pirates! I know a lot of people who were going to be playing WoW, but I really wasn’t ready to delve into another MMO. I’m currently still playing Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided so I don’t really feel the need for [...]
