12 CommentsThe Bourne Ultimatum is the third film about Jason Bourne, secret agent extraordinnaire. It immediately picks up the events of the first two movies and further explains Bournes background, memory loss and role in a secret training program.
For people who haven’t seen the first two, there are flashbacks to fill in the gaps. For people who have seen them, there’s a slightly odd chronology, as Ultimatum begins right at the end of the car chase in that Russian tunnel (which is not where Supremacy ended).
Jason Bourne is a modern James Bond. They share initials, great film score and rad car chases. That’s where the similarities end and the road forks. If I had to pick one road to follow, I’d go with Bourne.
Ultimatum brilliantly succeeds where Supremacy (which was a great movie, make no mistake) fell slightly short. It has (almost) the same mystical feeling the first one had, and it certainly has the action and pace of both movies.
Ultimatum is eminently watchable and very worth your cinema bucks.
CommentJust yesterday, Adobe released a beta version of their new Flash Player. The new version 9 beta adds support for H.264 compressed video and hardware acceleration for fullscreen HD video. Still no hardware acceleration for plain old non-video Flash.

Perhaps you’ve seen it before, sometimes as the first comment on a blogpost, sometimes as the second. It is, of course, the work of a first poster.
13 CommentsToday is the big day for likers of clean air: the first day of the danish public smoking ban. That means no smoking in:
busses, schools and institutions
locations accessible to the public such as museums
all workplaces, with exceptions possible in one-man offices
indoor food serving places
In all above cases there’s the possibility of assigning designated smoking areas. [...]
11 CommentsSome time in March 2003 Bush started the war on Iraq. It was all about fighting back at Al Quaeda for what they did in September 2001, oh and also disarming Saddam of all those nuclear weapons he had bought in Africa.
There weren’t any ties to Al Quaeda, and so far they haven’t found any nukes. Or chemical weapons. Or anything.
3 CommentsThese following six titles have apparently been submitted for title registration by Lucas:
City of Gods is apparently the working title. Destroyer of Worlds?
[Update]: Apparently the right title is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Freshly designed in preparation for the 1.0 release of the Fauna Wordpress Theme, this logo depicts a moose. My favourite animal, and not coincidentally classified as fauna.
3 CommentsThis review isn’t as simple as it looks, so before you brush off Google Docs with a 3 heart rating, read the last paragraph.
Just last week I had my project management final (which went well). Leading up to this, me and a few colleagues worked together in Google Docs on the project assignment.
Google Docs is part of a free mini-office suite that contains a word processor and a spreadsheet. It’s all web-based and collaborative, meaning several people can edit the same document at the same time. Documents are stored on Googles servers.
This is what I learned from working with a 40+ page document…
CommentFrom the YouTube description:
An introduction trailer shown at the 2007 International Comic-con in San Diego, CA. This video was only shown to about 4,000 people. The producers plan to release the 16 new episodes by spliting up 4 full-length DVDs that will be released both on DVD and shown on Comedy Central.
It’s great to see Futurama returning to our screens in 2008, but 16 episodes is a little bit less than a full season. I certainly hope the DVDs will sell so well that Futurama can finally pull a Family Guy and return for many years.
12 CommentsThere’s a story on Digg about Wordpress. Completely unrelated to the contents of the article, one commenter had this to say:
too bad no one ever sees wordpress themes because the sites go down after five diggs
12 CommentsThe first movie happened 28 days after a zombie-virus outbreak in Britain. This one happens 28 weeks after the incident, at a time where all zombies from the first film have supposedly starved to death. Of course things aren’t so simple and due to human error a new outbreak occurs, in which our heroes will have to try and stay alive.
What a mess. What a damn shame. What a miserable disappointment. I enjoyed 28 Days Later and I was looking forward to what seemed like a good idea. Sadly a ridiculous story and infuriatingly stupid characters obliterate all worthwhile elements. 28 Weeks Later is only marginally better than House of the Dead, which I’d give zero hearts. This film gets one heart for Rose Byrne and one heart for production value. As such, watching 28 Weeks falls miserably short of other interesting activities such as watching specks of dust move around in sunlight.
7 CommentsAn increasingly prevalent problem in this age of smart webpages (dubbed “Web 2.0″ by the marketing department) is the visualization of inline links. That is, links that when clicked immediately change part of the page you’re looking at, as opposed to slowly loading a whole different page.
CommentSummer feels like it is over I guess that means no more flowerbikegirls in my way only committed bicyclists no chickens only pigs as we say in project management yes so glad that course is over and that the exam went well for everyone involved then again it was never that difficult.
Mom says I should read Ulysses by James Joyce then maybe I would know how to write a stream of consciousness and not just omit all punctuation to make it all difficult well we’ll see down the road maybe there are quite a few things I want to do read first.
