I can't beleive that I actually felt pleasantly surprised to watch the trailer for King Kong. Crazy man Jack Black looks good and all I can say is that Peter LOTR Jackson seems to be working on quite a stunning flick. Check out the big trailer here (broadband req). Looks like I'll have to check out the original and the other remake (70's? [...]

I guess the great big news in the internet world today is that the United States Supreme Court ruled against the makers of Grokster, a popular file sharing program. Basically if anyone makes something that promotes copyright infringement, then they can be held liable. Now I don't care to discuss the merits of this case.

I've been overloaded with physical work for the past 3 weeks or so. This weekend wasn't much better, I'm not saying it was all bad, but there is only so much stress the body can take. Work's been busy too. On the tech side, I've been devoting a lot of time to my Resource pages, I've noticed a 100% spike in traffic for the last week. Which really brings me to my issue (just one?). If you start "profiting" from your hobby, does it [...]

Okay this is too funny to pass up. Now I normally don't go out of my way for organic foods, but I might be swayed. For yet another Star Wars parody visit Store Wars. And may the farm be with [...]
