Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire

Monday, November 28th, 2005

**MINOR SPOILER COMING** We saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire this weekend over the holiday. It’s the first movie we’ve seen in quite some time. I’m glad we did, too. It was really an enjoyable movie and certainly grown up from the original. The movies, like the books, are [...]

Happy Thanksgiving

Thursday, November 24th, 2005

It’s that time of year again when Americans join family to gorge and sleep…in that order. There’s also the ceremonial loosening of the belt to make things comfortable. It’s also at this time of year that I hear a lot of people complaining about spending time with family. I’m thankful to not [...]

Team in Training

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005

Some friends of mine, Brandon Smith and his wife, are running in the Arizona marathon on January 15th. They’re raising money for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, so it’s not just insane excercise but also a good cause. The donation site lists their progress and training goals along the way. As of [...]

The Apprentice: Trump vs. Vader

Thursday, November 10th, 2005

Looks like I’ll be watching “The Apprentice” tonight! A special Star Wars edition will be shown - I noticed in the previews that Chewbacca is sent packing…and his little pink suitcase too! Very funny, though I can’t say that I agree with Chewbacca’s release. Check out the trailer here and watch the [...]

Trading Spouses: The Eclectic Edition

Wednesday, November 9th, 2005

Is anyone watching this show?!? Tonight’s episode of Trading Spouses on the FOX Network must have been the best comedy drama on TV in a long time! I didn’t even see the whole thing, I just came in for the finale. The gist was that they put a fanatical Cathoholic woman into [...]

Broken Promises

Tuesday, November 8th, 2005

Promise Technology, Inc. has proven to have some of the worst technical support in the world. It’s widely accepted that Promise’s ATA RAID controllers are among the best, but what good is a great controller if there’s no one to back it up in case of failure? My onboard RAID controller died so [...]

The Master: 12-inch Figure (WARNING Choking Hazard)

Thursday, November 3rd, 2005

On Halloween night I won a costume contest when I made an appearance at the local “Coffee Shop of Horrors.” I was dressed as Chewbacca, and as faithful readers know, pretty darn realistic. Balthazar took place with his costume of a macaw, which Amy did a very good job in making. As [...]

The Bungie team is making headway on their project to create Halo, the movie. To make an awesome start, they got Peter Jackson to direct produce the film. They also have WETA doing their digital work and weapons/armor. I’m thrilled that they’ve made such great moves towards the success of this film. [...]
