…and it sure doesn’t look anything like Ray Bradbury‘s classic short story, either. From the looks of the trailer, I’ll be staying far, far away from “A Sound of Thunder:” when the movie is released. It’s one of my favorite, and most memorable, sci-fi short stories. It looks like the movies going to take all […]

Jim Caple says it best. With the NHL where it is today, and the MLB managing to hang on despite itself, my interest in pro sports is waning. Thanks for the sendoff Jim, you captured everything quite nicely. To the Expos, a hearty farewell. It’s amazing what the players and coaching staff did over the […]

So, after owning an HDTV-capable TV for the better part of three years, I finally got an HDTV receiver last week. I use ExpressVU as my provider, and have been reasonably happy with the service, so I have sworn off Rogers and will stick with them. The receivers have finally dropped to “reasonable” prices, so […]
