Trancers: crap-tacular sci-fi

From the makers of “Puppet Master” comes a movie that is even worse. The acting is horrible, stunts laughable, effects cheesy, and acting abismal. If that if your cup of tea, rent “Trancers”. I had not seen it until today and man do I wish I had not, but at least I now have the [...]

Facial Hair: O what time changes

Looking into the mirror after a fresh hair clip and shave today, I couldn’t help but think back (wavy lines) In high-school I was a bit down about my lack of facial hair. Unfortunately, this was one of the few things in life my ‘wishing’ worked. I now have facial hair everywhere on the sphere [...]

BBC should extend license fees to N America

It would make so much sense for the BBC to offer streaming television (IPTV) in N America. With the launch of the BBC iPlayer, we know the technology is already there. The BBC has a huge opportunity to  make gigantic audience inroads. Potentially, they would be able to sell N America the same programming without having to operate any physical terrestrial broadcast equipment. Yes, they would most likely need to locate some additional server in the Americas, but the probable cost/viewer ration dropping for IP only TV, it should be a way to subsidize British TV using overseas funds. From best I can tell the annual fee for “residents of the UK pay £116.00 a year for a color TV license”. I think the biggest obstacle would be existing BBC America deals with cable and satellite. Come on BBC! I want your content (Sky too) but I don’t want nor need  US cable or satellite money grubbers in the middle. Isn’t it 2008?

Some long exposure experiment photos

Here is the set. and now some examples.

Looks like things are a bit faster

I have disabled all but 3 plug-ins for WordPress and things seem to be responding a little quicker now. It was really bad for a minute; it took about 26 seconds for the site to load yesterday… ouch Now I need to figure out why Twitter Tools posted my daily digest the first day and [...]

An old photo

Even closer…

Thanks to this post, I think I now have the silly prefix removed from the blog WordPress to Twitter handshake.

Really getting into wordpress

I am getting really into WordPress.  I have no ide why I didn’t use it more in the past. I don’t think it was this easy to setup WordPress on my server the last time I attempted to get it configured. Just upgraded and installed some plug-ins. Trying to get WP and Twitter to talk [...]
