jPod, the series?

January 16, 2008

It is either going to be out­ra­geously good or out­ra­geously hor­ri­ble, but those wacky Cana­di­ans turned Dou­glas Coupland’s book jPod into a TV series.

Moving pictures with synchronized sound

January 14, 2008

A few TV/Movie thoughts while I’m wait­ing on replace­ment clutch cylin­ders… To use a quote/show-title from cof­fe­jedi, I was pleas­antly sur­prised by the “River Tam Beats Up Every­one” show (also known as “Ter­mi­na­tor: The Sarah Con­ner Chron­i­cles.”  I was expect­ing it to be a crappy SciFi show melded with a crappy action show, but really […]

Doctor Who’s Christmas Special

December 28, 2007

The new Doc­tor Who Christ­mas Spe­cial hit the Bit­tor­rents the other day and I finally got around to watch­ing it last night.  A few impres­sions I got while watch­ing: * I really need to re-read (or re-listen to the audio­book of) the Dou­glas Adams/Terry Jones novel Star­ship Titanic * The self-referrential deserted Lon­don because of […]

WGA Strikes">WGA Strikes

November 13, 2007

I have loosely been fol­low­ing the writ­ers guild strikes, mainly to learn the ulti­mate dis­po­si­tion of this sea­son of LOST.  While my gut feel­ing has been on the side of the writ­ers, I really had no idea why or know any of the details.  Mainly, I see (whether this is a cor­rect or incor­rect parallel) […]

We just fin­ished watch­ing the new.… episode?… movie?… of Bat­tlestar Galac­tica and I’m a bit con­fused.  It didn’t really seem to pick up where the last sea­son ended, if mem­ory serves cor­rect.  Or was it just filler until the actual sea­son episodes start up?  Or am I just totally con­fused?  At any rate, the old-school […]

Pushing Daisies

November 4, 2007

I have not been out­side at all this week­end, except to walk down to the gro­cery store for more soup and crack­ers yes­ter­day. I started watch­ing Push­ing Daisies this week­end.  It is an excel­lent show–I dare say, one of my new favorites.  Because it is such a good and uncon­ven­tional show, it will likely be […]

Arrested Development

August 10, 2007

How is it that I com­pletely missed out on Arrested Devel­op­ment???  I picked up the first disc of the first sea­son from Net­flix last week.  Kim and I watched most of it last night, and it was awe­some!  It did a mas­ter­ful job of pok­ing fun of all of the peo­ple and things I liked […]

Musings of the past week

June 14, 2007

Finan­cial Plan­ning Kim and I went to chat with a finan­cial advi­sor last night.  We’re on track to get­ting a house and retire­ment, I think, but need to shuf­fle a few things around.  I’m con­tribut­ing too much to my 401(k) and need to put more money toward pre-59-years of age stuff.  Also, I recently learned […]

Femmebot Earplug Tonic

May 27, 2007

About a year ago, I started watch­ing the first sea­son and part of the sec­ond sea­son of Bat­tlestar Galac­tica.  I thought it sucked.  I could not really feel for any of the char­ac­ters, the plot, and espe­cially didn’t find the fem­me­bot to be ter­ri­bly great (in a “let’s exploit the nerd-virgins’ fan­tasies” sort of way.)
