I enjoy a good vampire/werewolf movie. Once again, I did not find that experience here in the Twilight series. In fact they are getting worse, if that is even possible. Every character is sad, depressed and brooding, as per usual in this saga, accept for Taylor Lautner who plays Jake. In fact he is the… Read More »
In Time has a pretty interesting plot. What if the economy revolved around the trading of time left to live, instead of standard currency. Other than that, there is very little Sci-Fi like about this movie, unless you include the Bat-mobile turbine sound that all the cars make. Though there is a huge oddity. You… Read More »
The star of this werewolf tragedy is now one of the characters on the Sci-Fi TV series Terra Nova, Landon Liboiron. A reasonably good actor, but starring in a really bad movie. But you have to start somewhere. It’s a shame that this piece of crap shares the same name as the original Howling movie.… Read More »
This movie reminds me of the Ocean Eleven movies of the past few years. The remakes, not the originals. In the sense that it is a very obvious promotional vehicle for select celebrities, primarily Cher and Christina Aguilera, but a few others you will recognize. But regardless of that, it’s a very entertaining movie overall.… Read More »
I just received the Bose MusicMonitor computer speakers I ordered online. Listing for a retail value of roughly $350, I actually am a little disappointed they don’t sound better, as in have more bass. The reviews I saw before purchasing all commented that they did have reasonably good bass, but not as good as speaker… Read More »
We were at the Jets game last night, where they lost in over-time to the Florida Panthers. This is the first Jets game I’ve been to since the new Jets came to Winnipeg. Below is a phone camera view from the box seats.
The web browser on the Transformer Prime, or rather Android 4 leaves something to be desired. Two very noticeable issues are viewing the tab bar and constant lock-ups. It’s quite nice the way you can scroll the web page tab bar left and right at the top of the screen with your finger, to see… Read More »
Do you have a blog? What software tool do you use to your blog posting? Till today, I’ve been using the ScribeFire addon for FireFox. It’s better than the direct web access on WordPress.com, but still has some shortcomings for me. I’ve put off finding something else till now. As any geek knows, Microsoft applications… Read More »
RIM released a new beta version of the 2.x OS today, version 2.0.0.7111. Replacing 2.0.0.6149 that I first noticed on Jan 6th. It seems to be difficult to easily discover what changes in one update to the next. Reports I read said that it adds predictive text and auto correct while typing, but I noticed… Read More »
I finally got my Asus Transformer Prime tablet this week on the 11th. The next day they OTA upgraded the thing to the latest Android OS, v4. I actually liked v3 better. This version is actually much less intuitive, even I have had to struggle a bit to figure out how to do what was… Read More »
