Just got back from watching the Transformers with Yanni. To be honest, I really don't think I could have watched this movie and enjoyed it as much as I did with anyone but Yanni. See we both grew up watching and playing with the Transformers. We've had countless arguments about them , with them and because of them.
You know when you're in the dark about something and then someone wakes you up and you get that realisation that things could have been better, you just didn't know any better, because nobody bothered to tell you about it? What am I talking about? I'm making less sense than normal? I'll tell you what I'm blathering about. I'm talking about how fonts are displayed on the four major web browsers, Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 2, Safari 3 and Opera 9.

Frank Miller's 300 had my money several times over from the moment I heard it was going to be made. Then came the trailer and I nearly came in my pants several times over (I know not a pretty vision but at least I'm being truthful). Then I shared the trailer with Stathi and Christos and while I thought I was excited, these guys were even more excited about this movie than I was. Honestly between the three of us we've probably seen the trailer like 3000 times.
Anna kept telling me to watch this series again and again. I do actually remember the TV spots for this series, which preceded the actual series being broadcast over here in the UK. I remember really thinking the idea was very intriguing however as you can imagine I completely missed it, since I'm honestly not very good at keeping to a schedule brought about by the TV box. It's funny but I've watched more TV in the past couple of months than in the last few years, mainly because I can download and watch whenever I actually choose to watch them.
Continuing in my series of the best of 2006, just finished my post on the best graphic novels of 2006 over at Splash Panel.
The Prestige, the new Christopher Nolan movie is like getting Christmas early. I mean how could the following ingredients possibly disappoint. You get Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansson, ...
I've reviewed Frank Miller's 300 over at Splash Panel. It's most definitely one of the few graphic novels that every red blooded male should have on their shelves.
I've been trying to find ways to increase my productivity and effectively take my life back by the horns, which for the past couple of months has spiralled out of control. Gmail is a staple in my life. I use it and don't think about it. I've not gotten to the stage where I really use the folders as I can, however that might be about to change. So I've been looking into other online solutions that might be able to reach that status. Traditionally I've tried my very best to shy away from online services except those that are backed by one of the major players, mainly because they're not going to be charging me cash to provide a task that while isn't necessary to have online is nice to have. You could say it's a bit of an antithesis to Web 2.0, and in a way it actually is. You'd also expect someone like me to jump for this sort of thing, however I don't move into this arena without a little bit of caution, simply because I don't like to be dependant on others that can pull the plug on me at any time or worse, decide to change the terms and conditions.
