Found this fun short movie: Mac vs. PC. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. It’s been done a million times. But how many times have the Mac and PC been Transformers? There’s a strong element of Terminator in there, as well.
(via Major Spoilers, though it apparently hit Digg a week ago)
Walking to lunch. Vacant lots are actually green! #
Spotted Venus at 1 in the afternoon! Thanks, Sky Map app! #
Must remember: just because the mall is the CLOSEST place to grab lunch doesn’t make it the BEST place, esp. 3 days before Christmas. #
Signs spotted while shopping:
Iglot sounds so much like igloo that it should be a kind of building. “Take it round back to the iglot.”
If only there were a way for this to say “Teh Aid,” it would be perfect.
Earlier this month I read Robert J. Sawyer’s novel, Flashforward. It’s about what happens after, during a scientific experiment, the entire population of the world blacks out for two minutes and sees a vision of what they will be doing twenty years from now. It focuses on the question of free will, and looks at the different ways people might react to learning exactly what their future has in store.
Like most of Sawyer’s stuff, It’s a good, fast read that makes you think. It’s also been in the news lately, since ABC is developing it as a TV series to pick up the Lost audience as that show wraps up, and they’ve been announcing casting for the pilot.
I’ve posted a review of Flashforward at Speed Force.
Presumably this institution is designed to serve the needs of Santa Clauses who subsist on Ho-Hos.
