Star Wars Episode III

Well, Kate talked me into going to the new Star Wars on Thursday. We went to the 7PM showing on Thursday, and I have to say that it was a very good movie. Showed and explained a lot of things that were just sitting there waiting to be explained. The effects in the beginning seemed a little off but then they picked up. You will see the one I thought was a little off in the beginning when a deck falls on an unconcious Obiwan and it moves him but his body moved like a manican not a limp human. The movie was great, the theatre was packed and the new theatres at Carousel were very nice, stadium seating, chairs that leaned back and aisles that wer big enough to let people through without much disturbance. That was especially important for someone as tall as I.

Creative Nomad MuVo

I have been using the MuVo for about three months now and I have to say that I really do enjoy it very much. I do have one additional complaint. I found out that the thing had fast forward and rewind, but th eonly problem with this is that to fast forward 10 minutes you need to hold onto the button for about 8 minutes. This may seem like an exageration, and it may very well be, but when you are trying to go through almost 2 hours of a show and it takes most of the ride to work to do it then I would say that its slow. But hey as long as you dont accidentally hit the skip button when you are attempting to pause the playback you are ok, otherwise hold onto your buttons, your in for one long ride.

Site Changes

Hello all, been a while since I last posted to this site. I finally had some time to update and add a few things. I also moved somethings around just so that I could add the news to the left side. I have updated my read list finally, there are a few books that I have read since it was last updated but I didnt add them all. I also added a few new links to other websites although at the time of this post there seems to be a problem with the This Week in Tech site. Its a relatively new site and the operator is adding things and trying new software so hopefully it'll be back up by the time you read this post. The Systm link is also not got too much on it right now, but it is going to be an in depth tech site. The creator said in another week or two the actual show should launch. It is going to be internet only and you will probably need to have a high speed internet connection to download it. They said it was going to be around 300 Mb per episode, so you could technically do it on dial up but it would need the entire night to download. The link to my site is there but I am not going to update that site till I move to another website host. That will probably happen in the next month or so, and then hopefully I can get it to do what I want a little easier instead of having to wait for an eternity to talk to a support person. Of course this could just be that I'm an idiot and am not doing something right, but the other one I am looking into is cheaper and offers a lot more and come highly recommended from a trusted source. I would like some feedback on what you think of the placement of the items. If you think I should move them just comment or email me, whichever. If you like the layout then please tell me that too. I also noticed that I have hit 500 visitors to the blog. not such a big deal for some of you but, I persoanlly think its a big deal.
