Star Trek Prequel?

Another prequel is possible for the Star Trek Universe, according to an article on /film - Trek prequel script goes to The Beginning.

Why is there such a fixation with prequels recently?

By the way, you can listen to the article if you are to lazy to read it...

System Administrator Song

Very Funny! I heard the audio version first from Philip* and found the web site. Here is the video version (and audio) in several formats. System Administrator Song The site also has lots of other funny (though adult at times) content. *Do not save any of his images. He is senstive about that!

5 DVDs for $25

I think the movie Senseless (part of the best buy offer) sums up the whole 5 DVDs for $25 deal from Best Buy.

If you haven't seen the quality movie (ok there might be 2 or 3) to many times already on UHF channels and basic cable, you might have a life. (Don't spoil it by buying these movies now). And for the rest of you deal mongers, run down to the local Walmart and start digging through the $5 DVD bin. At least at Walmart, you don't have to be 4 crap films for the one you really must have.

Come to think of it, I might head over there right now and get the Original Batman movie starting Adam West...

DaDaDaDaDaDa.... BATMAN!

Last.FM

You might notice that on top of my blog is a list of my 'Recently Played Tracks'.

This great new technology is thanks to a friend, I have been connected to a new web site that tracks your music (and podcasting) listening habits and provides stats along with connections to others in a community.

Checkout and maybe join Last.FM. If you join, make sure to add 'Robaxsy' to your friends list.

It might be time to turn on shuffle on iTunes.

Now this is what I need! and it is at the same time as my anniversary.

Disturbing...

Here is a link to a site that is taking planned parenthood to task over a recent web video:

The Dawn Patrol

It might take a little energy to find a working version of the video. It is worth it to see how far the left is...well...left, looney, liberal, insane, crazy. This video makes most of the moveon.org ads seems harmless.

Will it ever be possible to bridge the divide in America between conservatives and liberals? I don't think so, the question is what will our children's America look like.

Mybuster Interview

For those who Love Adam Savage, (though he is not into guys and is married) instead of Kari Byron (Sorry Eric), here is the first part of an Interview with the Mythbuster. It dispels any thoughts that Adam and Jaime play for the other team and how the Mythbusters started.

Really a worthwhile read for any fan of the show.

Beware!

Cost per Mile

I was thinking today, I sometimes do that... About who really cares about the Miles per gallon a car is going, but rather the more critical measure is the cost per mile.

For instance, yesterday I paid 37.38 to fill up my Honda Accord, which had recently driven 368 miles*. So my Cost per mile (CPM) is about 10 cents. That isn't that bad... Of course when you consider that last year, I was getting about 6 cents per mile that is quite the jump... What are you getting on your car? I have a co-worker with an Expediation who pays an estimated 20 cents per mile driven.

Think of the impact a change like this could have. Instead of looking at a car, or more likely truck that gets 15 miles per gallon, you are looking at a truck that costs 17 cents per mile, which means my 20 mile drive to work costs me 3.45 dollars one way and if I were going to drive on vacation to Minnesota it would cost 204 dollars for gas one way. OUCH! That make the 300 dollar round trip ticket on Continental look pretty good. -- I realize gas mileage on the freeway could be better, but still it is crazy!!!

*I realize I should take the miles driven after I pay 37.38, but I really don't have the time or the desire to track it that closely

OSX

Well, finally after months of thinking, hoping and wondering I finally had a chance to run OS X.

How? Well, lets just say that many of my friends on the World Wide Web made it possible.

Was it a life changing event? No, for the trouble to get it to run and the performance I got from my PC running it though in a virtual machine (oops I might have given away how I got it...). I won't be making any investments to run it in the future. Though I could try it as my primary operating system (or dual boot OS). I don't think I will continue to wade through the endless guides and torrents to get the pieces in hope of getting the software to run.

I believe in try before you buy and I have tried and at this point I will merely wait to see if Apple modifies its strategy for the future of Mactel (Mac on Intel) to include a OS that can be installed on any hardware platform.

Though many tech pundits believe this will happen and that the recent leak of tiger Intel was a foreshadowing of Apples real intent. I don't believe Apple is willing or able to provide support for the hundreds of OEM and millions of hardware combinations that anyone could build to run OSX. No, Apple will continue to produce the Mac with its interesting and powerful OS on its own controllable hardware platform though powered by an Intel chip. My only question is will it have 'Intel Inside' on the box?

FireFox market share slips?

Interesting little snippet...

Let the Firefox death-watch begin!

One thing I think they forget is that IE7 beta was released in July... I know I found my way to a copy and I can imagine that I wasn't the only one. IE7 will determine the future growth of FireFox. There will always be Microsoft haters who will run alternatives like FireFox and then there are users like me who prefer the OS integration of IE, but desire the features (tab browsing, greasemonkey, RSS feeds, etc..) that I can only get in FireFox.

If IE7 bridges the feature gap, I will be switching back myself.

This is a priceless image.

I read about this deal a few weeks back... $50 ibooks with the only catch having to be there to buy them (no online option for us online and distant people).

Well, it looks like being there and dropping 50 wasn't the only cost (or risk) to get a great deal on a laptop.

k7 phone number...

I have decided to get a k7 phone number... if you want to give it a call, (206) 350-5104. What might this lead too? I am not sure at the moment... I might start using it as my business phone number (though in Seatlle) so that I can get an email when I recieve a voice mail instead of nothing and finding 5 messages piled up when I finally get around to checking them.

For those who would like to have a K7 phone number, check out K7

By the way, the number also accepts faxes!
