I find THIS Offensive!

This is just over the line! Turner Broadcasting, the people that brought you colorized movies from Black and Whites…now takes it upon themselves to remove smoking from all of the old Hanna-Barbera Cartoons. Now, I do understand that smoking isn’t good for you or me…but to go a step further and erase it from history? Who the *&%@ do they think they are!

You know…I think I remember a few times that Tom, Jerry, and even Fred or Barney got sloshed. Perhaps they should take that out too…Now that I think about it…Anvils and boards to the head are ok to leave in?

I can’t stand this kind of censorship when someone thinks they know better than me. I have some advice for you…Talk to your Kids, don’t shelter them by chopping up old cartoons. Yea, that will save the world.

Pfft. Idiots. Kiss my P.C. Free butt.

AOL News
LONDON (Aug. 21) – Turner Broadcasting is scouring more
than 1,500 classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons, including old
favorites Tom and Jerry, The Flintstones and Scooby-Doo, to
edit out scenes that glamorize smoking.

Makes me want to smoke in protest!

Ben 10

There are not a lot of newer cartoon shows on that I can get into, but my son has been stuck on Ben-10 and I have to say that I am getting that way to.

Ben Tennyson finds the Omnitrix (looks like a big watch) that permanently attaches to his arm and it allows him to transform into 1 of 10 aliens with super powers. It is the sort of thing that I think any boy would have hoped to find.

He uses this new found abilities for everything between stopping bad buys and saving his cousin Gwen.

Lots of Fun especially if you have a young one into Superheroes.

A little Refresh is good…

Today I made a few changes to Spyndle.com, like the color and the header image. I like it so far. (Hate to see Bender go though *sniff*) And there are a few more in store soon.

Now if you don’t listen to Technorama (and you should), you may have missed that I am working on a webcomic and a accompanying podcast. It is all coming together, and I am inching closer, and closer. So watch this space as I will start posting stuff this week!

Excelsior! Oh wait that is taken…
Spoon! That is taken too..
Ah…I’ll work on my own catch phrase.

New Airport Security Measures

Not to make too much lite of the situation..but I saw pictures of bins full of liquids that people were told that they could not take on planes, and there was a lot!

When I saw these pictures I couldn’t help but wonder how much weight that shaved off of each flight. I bet it was a lot.

Apple Rumors

Everyone and their brother is talking about Apple Rumors ahead of next weeks Steve Jobs keynote. But look at these images on Gizmodo found here are supposed to have come from Apples Website!

I call BS! The Darth Vader on that one pic is a crop from a Wallpaper I made years ago! That Darth Vader was a Vinyl Statue I made to look like he was holding a “real” saber.

Me and IE

IE 7 that is.

I installed it on my laptop, I had too…we will probably be rolling it out at some point. I like it..to a point. That point being ANYTHING other than IE6 is better.

I was using Google reader…It was blocking images from all my articles. I think that it does this because the images are on another server other than google (anti-phishing). When I click the INFO bar to tell it to show the images…it refreshes the page…therefore, when the page comes back, I am still looking at my UN-READ ITEMS, and the article that I was just looking at is now read because I was already viewing it before the refresh. Now I have to go hunt for it in my READ items for it.

Also I see TOO many confirmation boxes. I clicked on the info bar, and said, “Allow Popup from this site”. Then a box pops up, “Allow popups from google.com”. Didn’t I just tell it that? Also…the Internet Options is basically the same set up as the old one on IE6. I think that they could have given the prefrences a little more thought. Come on, shake things up a little…Organize it!

I also showed IE7 to a co-worker, their first reaction? “Hey, it looks like Firefox”

I am still sold on Firefox…the plugins ALONE are worth their weight in gold.

Bottom Line, I like it aside from my quirks above. (ALPHA PNGs W00T!)

New and Improved, More of the same though.

Oh Boy…New Star Trek Movie

There is a lot of speculation about what the next movie will be about. J.J. Abrahms hinted that it will take place in early Star Trek Lore with Kirk and Spock at StarFleet Academy…but I think that the recently released movie poster for it says a lot.

Check it out at Star Trek.com
