Is there no good buzz surrounding Segways?
Russian Ark
Russian Ark is a film shot with 2000 actors, spanning 300 years of Russian history, in one take. No outtakes or deleted scenes on the DVD I guess.
Relativity in Words of 4 Letters or Less
“But for that to be true, then time also has to get in on the act. For
you and your pal to see the same ray go by at the same clip, her idea of
time must be off from your idea of time!”
Regarding the Moral Good
America gets blasted regularly for its nationalist, unilateral and
sometimes arrogant attitudes. Many times we deserve it. But a fella has
to pick a team after all.
If Iraq had a shuttle program and lost 7 crew members to an accident
like that of the Columbia, I’ll bet George W. and the American people
would send our heartfelt condolences, even as we prepare for war. We
most likely wouldn’t cheer and call it “vengeance from God.” Just a
hunch.

There once was an artist perverse
who only could speak in reverse.

Playing Joust
Midway Games has a few shockwave games which are identical to the arcade originals. I’ve been playing Joust.
On Not Watching Yojimbo
I’m supposed to be watching yojimbo right now… but I’m not. This is a symptom of a bigger problem, I think. I love Kurosawa, but for some reason I’m having trouble finding the energy to watch anything that makes me think too much. Today, my excuse is that I don’t feel like reading subtitles. I’d rather watch Undercover Brother for the fifth time instead. What the hell is wrong with me?
Now What Should I Do?
I’ve been sitting here reading weblogs and such for about 3 hours.
I’ve got so many things I want to and have to do that I’m completely
locked up. Probably should hit something billable for a while, then
play with Jabber/Python/Flash/Whatever.
