Spititual Quote of the Day
The past can not be altered. The present holds but regret and loss. It is only the days to come that a man may find solice, when memory fades. Spartacus – Blood and Sand (Victory)
Django Unchained (2012)
DJango is a renegade slave in search of his wife during southern slavery days of America’s old west. If you were to ask me how many times they used the “N” word (Niger) in this movie, I’d have to guess between 500 and 900 times. I’d be curious if anyone watched the movie with a… Read More »
Media Player Classic – INI File Issues with v.1.6.6.6957 (3975d54)
I’m one of those hands-on old fashioned techy guys. I like my traditional INI and Config files in plain text when possible. I hate the Windows registry database, which we were scammed with by Microsoft years back, but that’s a rant for another post. Since I prefer my MPC-HC settings to be stored in an… Read More »
Samsung S4 Press Complaints
I’ve been following in the release of the new Samsung S4 (SIV) in the tech news this past week. Apparently Samsung had a bizarre and uncomfortable to watch stage show, which has gotten a lot of press comments for being strange, awkward and out of date. Not being an Apple fan boy, and falling at… Read More »
The Hobbit – An Unexpected Journey (2012)
The Hobbit, is an unexpectedly long and unexpectedly boring story. It’s by no means boring due to a simply plot, in fact it is an overly complex tale with far to many characters. So many characters, that you don’t care to associate with any of them, as no one character get enough individual screen time… Read More »
The Twilight Saga – Breaking Dawn – Part Two (2012)
Yet another iteration of the Twilight Saga, magical realm of the vampire/werewolf three somes. Hard to believe that this episode actually has a significantly weaker plot and script than the previous ones. The writing is on the same level as a grade 8 girl’s free form essay. While I’m watching the movie, I imagined a… Read More »
Snitch (2013)
Snitch is a low-action emotionally involved crime drama. It’s not the sort of film I’m used to seeing The Rock in. Most of the action doesn’t start till near the end. In the mean time we are overwhelmed with a father’s struggle to rescue his son from jail, for getting too deep into a first-time… Read More »
The Price of Gas, Death and Taxes
I attended my uncle’s funeral today, he died this past Valentine’s Day at 86. A story told during his eulogy was about one of the pieces of wisdom he liked to pass on to his grand-kids. He’d tell them to stop complaining about the price of gas, when a tank of gas is worth a… Read More »
Word Abuse
I’m reading the news today, and yet another shooting in the US. So many public shootings in the States these days. How come the US media and government aren’t calling them terrorists? I thought any violence against US citizens was now called terrorism. How come when the US people shoot each other it’s just “today’s… Read More »
Outlook.com for Android Barely Useful
A short while back Microsoft released a mail app for Android for their relatively new Outlook.com service, intended to replace Hotmail. It’s apparently a warm over of the Hotmail app. And just to be safe, and have it as an option, I installed weeks ago, set up my accounts, and barely used it. Yesterday it… Read More »
