OK, so this past weekend I went into total Lord of the Rings overload. Between Friday and Sunday at various times (mostly Evie’s naptime) I watched most of the documentary material on the new special extended DVD edition of The Two Towers, about 6-1/2 hours’ worth. The most astounding segment, …

We finished watching the new extended special edition of The Two Towers last night, and the verdict is definitely once again that Peter Jackson & Co. have outdone themselves.

The Two Towers has arrived, so it’s time to take a long, good suckle from the glass teat.
I just happened across some photos of the band performing at Borders in Baileys Crossroads a few months ago. Enjoy!

Did I mention that, a few days ago, we also saw the charming (if a bit risqué) Down With Love? It’s a fun and frivolous sex-comedy that is also at once a tribute to and sendup of classic early 1960’s flicks like Pillow Talk and That Touch of Mink. The …
I, Cringely has an excellent explanation of why open source software works, why it has and will continue to surpass proprietary software (such as that from Microsoft) in stability, security and overall quality, and why this man is constantly spreading FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) in a desperate attempt to …
