Look What I Found
This looks like it will be a great resource if you are into photography of any sort.

Yahoo! News – Man in Letterman Plot Arrested in Montana
HELENA, Mont. – Authorities have arrested a man on allegations he was plotting to kidnap David Letterman’s young son and nanny from the talk-show host’s Montana home.
I don’t get it…What is the deal with people screwing with David Letterman?
Interesting… I like Joss Whedon’s work on Firefly, so this ought to be interesting…A Wonder Woman Movie? Are we ready for that?
Silver Pictures, producer of the revolutionary, $3 billion-grossing “Matrix” franchise, has signed Joss Whedon, creator of the phenomenally popular Buffy the Vampire Slayer television series, to write and direct the feature film action adventure Wonder Woman based on the DC Comics character. The announcement was made today by Jeff Robinov, President of Production, Warner Bros. Pictures.

I am guesting on the Technews Radio’s Tech Tidbits Daily for Thursday and Friday March 10th and 11th. Steve Holden was kind enough to let me step in while he is “On Assignment” in Yosemite National Park somewhere. I guess you don’t get much Wi-fi there…
He does good work on his show, so if you don’t already subscribe to his podcast, go and check it out.
A friend of mine, Patrick Mikulak, pointed me to this little bit of information.
Apparently the people over at Scifi Channel in charge of Battlestar Galactica are creating a podcast to accompany the show. It looks like you will get director type commentary with the show.
This is very cool, and only makes me like the show more. I already look forward to it each Friday. Now I will be even more interested to see what the Podcast has to say.
I think that it is evident by the effort that is put into the show, the blog they already provide, and now the podcast that they really want to reach out to the audience and make a good show. Very cool.
I think that Paramount should be taking notes.
This one is funnier that the first. It is designed as an entry in the Hitchhikers Guide.
If this is any indication of how the movie is going to turn out, I think that it ought to be hilarious. However, It wouldn’t be the first time that I was psyc’d for a movie then let down.
Here is the link to the trailer over at UGO.
First time for me, long time fan…I can’t wait!
Ok, This was too good not to pass up.
Commodore 64 cleared in train crash
WHEN THE departures and arrivals computer went down at Dortmund Train Station, the journalists on the scene were quick to blame a Commodore 64 machine that was apparently running it.
I just filled out a survey over at Starwars.com. The survey was to see what services and or things they could throw at me to make me interested in being a Hyperspace subscriber. I assume that they are doing this because Star Wars III is coming out soon and I am sure they are looking to see what could keep or build their subscriber base.
Some of the things they had suggestions for were Original Stories, Insider information on Indy IV and the Star Wars TV projects, and discounts at their startwarsshop.com. I was looking at their shop, after the survey because I realized I hadn’t seen it in a while, and I was surprised and not so at the same time at what I found. I will be damned if I am gonna pay $109.99 for a freaking Darth Vader 77 football jersey. I mean even the proverbial fan in his parents basement would shudder. I think that the only thing that I could see purchasing is either the Yoda mouse pad or some pens. Even the Pez dispensers are $30.00 + bucks. It is expensive. Who can afford to collect unless you are the one who got out early during the Dot Com era.
Now, I have been a fan since day one, and I remember the day I first saw Star Wars and it was good. I looked forward to each new movie with much excitement, but once Phantom Menace came out I started to get that I am being milked feeling. First it is, go see the movie, buy it on VHS, oh guess what the DVD is out. Then not only is the DVD out, but then there is the Special Edition and to follow that up the Special Directors Golden Ram Rod Uncut Edition is out. Then, Hey it is the Special Directors Golden Ram Rod Uncut Collectors set with never before seen extras! And you know that this goes on with every good movie out there, and it sucks. It sucks because they know you are gonna get it.
I have a new appreciation for what I put my parents through. I think back at all the Star Wars stuff that I got then. Figures, ships, and trading cards. I was a certified Star Wars freak (With others), but I do have a suggestion to keep me a fan. Make a good Star Wars film for Episode III that will be worth my $8 ~ 9 dollars. That is all I want.
(Ok, To be fair, I did sorta like Attack of the Cones)
I updated my weblog to WordPress 1.5. So it seems that may have caused rss readers to read the entire feed once again.
I apologize for the problem, I tried to keep that from happening…..
