Headed for Tosche station?

Looks like he's swinging a Gaffi stick to me.

The sandpeople are easily startled—but they'll soon be back—and in greater numbers...

So far so good

I just finished watching the first two episodes of The Sarah Connor Chronicles. If you're at all a fan of the Terminator movies (especially T2) or just sci-fi action in general you should give this show a try. The pilot is currently available on iTunes for free.

I'd say things are off to a promising start. The show takes place shortly after the events of T2 and largely ignores the implications of T3 (no arguments here).
The "good" terminator is a teenage girl and obviously not played by Schwarzenegger.
I wasn't sure about that at first but it could actually make for some interesting robot/human drama provided the show doesn't get canceled before it has a real chance to catch on. We all know how Fox can be sometimes.

The first two episodes are pretty action packed so it'll be interesting to see if they can keep the pace up.

Don't tase me, bro

Looks like TonyJ has taken another swing at the Piper. He's of course referencing Piper's statement on the bridge collapse. I don't know what Tony's big problem is (okay, maybe I do). I thought Piper wrote a thoughtful, theologically sound and heartfelt article. If there are things to get after Piper for—and for all I know there could be—this isn't one of them.

I can handle some of the theological tonal extremes: like the milquetoast, apolitical variety (i.e. Billy Graham) or the boorish, aggressive, hyper-reformed kind (i.e. Mark Driscoll) but I really can't stand this passive-aggressive snarkiness that Jones and his "cohorts" bring to the table.

G4 Cube part deux?

Or maybe eMate 3000?

I'm not exactly sure who this is for. I hope it sells well.

And hey, the word "Mac" was actually mentioned at "Macworld"! This may be the biggest news of the entire event!

Oh and for people who think SSD drives should be in all laptops take note: the 64 gig BTO on the MacBook Air costs an additional $999. Sorry folks, we're still 2-3 years away from the ubiquity of high-capacity, flash-based hard drives.

Happy Macworld Keynote Day!







I hope Steve talks about the Macintosh this year...

That's no ordinary rabbit


How have I not seen this yet? And needless to say it's in the NetFlix queue.
