Alright now, if you haven’t done your Christmas shopping yet, now is the time to do it! Stores, believe it or not, are now catering to last minute shoppers as much as if not more than early shoppers! They don’t want the sale merchandise left over after the holidays to have to repack or re-inventory,…
“Hobbit” Movie Slated for 2010 with Peter Jackson on Board
According to TheOneRing.net, a fan-made J. R. R. Tolkien web site, New Line Cinema as well as MGM are on board with Peter Jackson to produce two “Hobbit” films and share world-wide distribution rights. Both films will be based on Tolkien’s book The Hobbit, precursor to the Lord of the Rings trilogy whose movie adaptations…
The Quest for Space
My three-day mission: to explore and claim as much space as I can… in my room. I have re-arranged several pieces of furniture and reclaimed over half my floor space in my bedroom at home. That, of course, left an inordinate amount of junk on my floor. I sorted out most of what could be…
Into the Wild
I’ve always thought of exotic vacations as something reserved for really rich business men. Especially something as cool as a safari. Besides being named after an awesome web browser on the Mac, safaris just have the added cool factor of being all about hunting. But not for bears, or deer, or quail. Can you imagine…

The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) has a quick post up about a new Apple support page that mentions a new “Share > Send Ringtone to iTunes” option. There have been reports of other options for iPhone…
My First Credit Card
When I got my first credit card, it was to help me purchase a laptop about two years ago. The laptop was $800 and I wasn’t able to qualify for store financing because it was a refurbished item. I don’t entirely regret getting the credit card; it has bailed me out time and again when…
Sweeny Todd
Has anyone seen the preview for the Sweeny Todd movie with Johnny Depp in it? It looks pretty darn spiffy. I haven’t been a huge fan of anything of Johnny Depp’s other than the Pirates of the Carribean trilogy and Corpse Bride. Anytime he’s teamed up with Tim Burton I think I’m going to hop…
Five Months Off: Too Long?
So it’s been five months since I’ve written *anything* just for the joy of writing. I think maybe life’s been too crazy for me to feel motivated to blog. My blog isn’t a catharsis for me, really. I don’t miss it when I’m not blogging. And I doubt anyone else does, either. What I really…
An iChristmas Brings (Good) Problems for iTunes
It’s been blogged to death, but I thought for my latest post I’d comment briefly on the iTunes Christmas. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, here’s what happened, briefly: iPods, which have been around for a few years now, have had snowball sales, getting bigger every year. The low-end iPods, such as the…
