Super 8
Thoroughly enjoyable homage to Spielberg’s movies from E.T. to Goonies mixed with a smaller scale Cloverfield monster and modern special effects. The film is full of Spielberg moments lifted right from other film like Close Encounters and Jaws. Highly recommend summer movie.… Read the rest “Super 8”
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
I really did not care for this 4th installment in the franchise. I found the characters and plot flat. It lacked the fun of the original. I was annoyed by the fact that it was dark and raining in every scene.… Read the rest “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides”
Rio
Fun movie with a good use of 3-D in its flight scenes. It made want to fly down for carnival. It had a good story and would recommend for even little kids. The parents won’t be bored out of their minds in the meanwhile.
Technology Acceptance
At some point in the life of any technology there comes a tipping point when that technology goes from something special to something expected.

X-Men: First Class
I really enjoyed this X-Men movie. I think it might be the best of the series when it comes to character and story. Xavier has a couple of cheesy moments. There are references to his hair. When the action starts he plays Jack Ryan to Magneto’s John Clark – that reference will make sense to fans of Tom Clancy’s spy novels.… Read the rest “X-Men: First Class”

I recently needed to send in a copy of a receipt for an expense report for work. I attempted to scan the document but my old CanoScan requires additional drivers that are not compatible with my beta OS. I doubt if the drivers will ever be updated to Cocoa.… Read the rest “HP Photosmart C410a Premium Fax Wireless e-All-in-One”
iPod Mini Compact Flash Upgrade
Recently my iPod Mini has been hanging up on me. Typically this means that the hard drive is having trouble. I tried to restore the iPod but the problem persisted. It seems like it was time to put the old FireWire 4GB iPod Mini out to pasture.… Read the rest “iPod Mini Compact Flash Upgrade”
RDM License Plate Confusion
This morning as I was walking out of my hotel to the parking lot I had a double-take trying to find my rental car. I had rented some Japanese mid-size white sedan. As is my habit I try to notice my license plate number when I rent a car to help locating it later should that become necessary.… Read the rest “RDM License Plate Confusion”
