Yesterday, Kiddo and I got out to soak up Pirates 3. It was enjoyable, but it suffered from the same thing that plagued the second of the series. The writers allowed themselves to get bogged down by the apathetic nature of each individual player. By now, there are a lot of players [...]

Lost’s season finale was absolutely a crowd pleaser. I was cheering from the couch – literally. Nothing made me happier than to see some ass kicking finally be delivered.
And I know the conspiracy theorists (including my wife) are really spinning about the flashb… er, flashes. Sorry, I don’t want to spoil it [...]

Taipei Times – archives
National Taiwan Democracy Memorial Hall
President Chen Sui Bian continues his assault on Taiwan’s history as Chaing Kai Shek Memorial Hall is renamed to the National Taiwan Democracy Memorial Hall.

It’s fitting that Blizzard chose Seoul, Korea as the location to announce Starcraft II.
My my, I’m excited. I’m also very impressed with the cinematic offered on the site. Their rendering gets better and better with each game – let’s just hope the storytelling also improves.

Well, I’ve been horsing around with plugins tonight. I’ve been wanting to reestablish the last.fm stuff, but apparently there’s some wacky javascript tricks that EZ Scrobbler pulls that aren’t too friendly with this theme.

Paul Thurrott’s Internet Nexus – A technology blog
