The Village
Saturday, July 31st, 2004

Before you spend your money on this movie, be aware that the actual movie is not at all like it is portrayed in the previews. It is not a horror movie, it’s not a monster movie. Most of the “jump out and scare you” parts of the movie are already shown in the previews. The […]

Something’s Gotta Give
Wednesday, July 28th, 2004

Does it make me some kind of sissy if I laughed a lot at this movie, and actually enjoyed it? I mean after all, it’s a romantic comedy with… old people? At least when you watch romantic comedies with young people in them you can tell your buddies that the actress in the movie is […]

Gothika
Monday, July 26th, 2004

Before Halle Berry was bouncing her boobs around in a leather cat suit, she was bouncing her boobs around in a white t-shirt as a brilliant/crazy psychologist in the movie Gothika. I just got around to watching the movie last night, and while it’s not as bad as I imagine Catwoman to be, it wasn’t […]

I have put my 1ghz Apple eMac up for sale on eBay. It’s set at buy it now for $700, or less than that for bidding of course. Shipping is $46 with insurance, since it’s a 63lb. box.

The Bourne Supremacy
Sunday, July 25th, 2004

One interesting thing about this movie is that there isn’t really catch-phrase, a fancy theme song, a super-duper-action-star type lead character, mind bending special effects, etc. Basically there is no gimmick. It’s not like Mission Impossible which depends on its huge star and well-known franchise name to do well. It’s not like the Matrix which […]

Nice Chattanooga area Movie Theater
Sunday, July 25th, 2004

I live about 15 minutes from Tennessee’s largest mall, the Hamilton Place Shopping center. There are 3 movie theaters in the area, which I have been going to for several years. You have the one in the mall that is always packed, expensive, and you have to wind your way through all the teenage kids […]

Damn you, Internet Explorer, Damn you to Hell
Wednesday, July 21st, 2004

I have all but decided not to use CSS for layouts for the next few years until IE gets its act together and actually supports half the things that other browsers like Firefox and Safari have supported for years.

Over the past couple of years I’ve tried to learn as much about web standards and CSS […]

I, Robot
Sunday, July 18th, 2004

I hadn’t heard much about this movie going into it, other than the teaser trailer from a few months ago advertising the NS5 as your new home companion. I generally try to avoid watching previews for movies, because I think they ruin the plot of the movie by summarizing the entire script into 2 minutes. […]

My new G5
Sunday, July 18th, 2004

When I placed the order for my G5, Eric at Apple Sales assured me that it would be here by Friday, and he was correct. So I took half the day off from work so I could be here when the FedEx man arrived, and would have more time to play with the new machine […]

Claustrophobic Feet
Thursday, July 15th, 2004

I have claustrophobia of the feet.

What does this mean? I’m not sure exactly. I’m quite sure it’s not a real medical condition or anything, and most people are probably annoyed by it.

For instance, I just bought new shoes and socks, and the shoes aren’t broken in yet, and the socks are sewn poorly at the […]
