I’ve always enjoyed astronomy, of the backyard variety at least. I was born after the first Apollo moon landing. I’ve watched as many of the Space Shuttle launches as possible even after moving to Texas.
My first time to see the Milky Way was in 1986 while crossing over the mountains north of Málaga.…

I watched the Steve-Note address yesterday. I had anticipated the release of a new iPod. The iPod nano is beautiful. I have already talked to my mother about getting one but I am concerned about its interface. It only seems to support USB.…

I’ve been wanting to get started blogging but I have not been happy with the software tools available. I have been writing news sites for years which are essentially just blogs. I had planned on using one of them but never got around to it.…

I just got back from seeing The Matrix Revolutions. I did not write up The Matrix Reloaded when it cam out so I guess I can talk about both movies. No such review would be complete without referring to the original movie.…

This movie had a lot of promise. The case looked good. The special effects are excellent. The story broke down for me when the movie failed to follow its own movie logic. The movie is about a war between Vampires and Warewolves.…

I saw T3 last night at the sneak preview. It opens today. I have not read any other reviews. I really enjoyed this movie. It was true to both the spirit and the story of the first two movies. And the action was first rate Arnold.…

I went to see this sequel this afternoon. It was actually my wife who wanted to see it. I enjoyed the first movie and had a good idea what to expect. What I got exceeded my expectations.

I went to see this movie as a favor to a friend. I was not too keen on enduring the excessive computer graphics, but was actually impressed with the quality. Aside from providing the much needed background as to who the hulk is or how he became the hulk (for those of us who may not know), the movie was well done.…

This movie was excellent! Not only was it Jim Carrey at his usual best (good comedy, and a little bit of his serious side), but Morgan Freeman does a great job in the role of God. Plus, this movie contains several very good messages!…
