A storm trooper, Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and I in Hollywood, California
Today I did a search on my site for Vader and came up empty-handed. I just couldn’t stand for that and so I’m posting this photo of me, taken by Daniel Nicolas, with a storm trooper, Darth Vader, and Boba Fett. As a side note: I paid them $5 to take this photograph. Vader, Fett,…

Best of 2018
This year I’m taking a slightly more comprehensive approach to my “best of” list. I’ve taken a look at previous year’s lists: 2008, 2009, 2017 and comprised a slightly more complete set. Again, this is only the things I came across this year and can remember. I don’t keep a list throughout the year but…

Dan Moren on Movies Anywhere
Dan Moren, for Six Colors: Dare I say, this seems like an indication that Hollywood is finally “getting it” where digital film purchases are concerned. Then again, with the continued encroachment of streaming, digital rentals, and peak TV, maybe they just got desperate. Six Colors being a publication that knows how to use the internet…

Nerd news media blackout
Rich Cicci writing for the excellent NEPA Scene: San Diego Comic Con has come and gone, but unless you kept your face inches away from your cell phone, tablet, PC, or laptop this past weekend, you may not have known. That fact is shocking considering how much nerd culture has permeated everything nowadays. I mean,…

What is Code?
Paul Ford, in a tome-of-a-post for Bloomberg/Business Week: There are 11 million professional software developers on earth, according to the research firm IDC. (An additional 7 million are hobbyists.) That’s roughly the population of the greater Los Angeles metro area. Imagine all of L.A. programming. East Hollywood would be for Mac programmers, West L.A. for…

This has been a busy week. We’ve just turned on the sales engine at Barley and it has been interesting to go out and talk to potential new customers, resellers, and partners. Even with this busy week, though, I managed to find some interesting things on the web. Here are some of them. I’m on…

Down south.
Is cultural influence reciprocal? As 2009 begins many reflect on what has happened this past year. I’ve read many reflections, updates from last year’s resolutions, countless thoughts on World events, and some have jotted down a list of the places that they traveled to in 2008. I had the privilege of traveling to many places…

A few fun facts about Star Wars
No where near a complete list of some of the most interesting facts surrounding the creation of what is now one of the most iconic film epics of all time, but there are some interesting tidbits. A few of the more notable omissions on this list, since they nearly mentioned them but somehow failed to…

Why I’m going to see Dragon Wars tomorrow
I love good movies. I’m sure you do too. But, I also like really bad movies. So much so that my friend Chris and I sometimes rent movies that we know are rated by critics and movie-goers as being absolutely not worth the time to watch. 2007 Movie of the Year I believe Dragon Wars…

Paula Abdul is putting on a show, and some of the better Idol-wannabes might be suffering for it
Eliza and I, in addition to watching The Bachelor, watch American Idol. As I’ve said elsewhere, I like to watch the beginning (aka the funny part of the season), and then watch the end where they’ve already drilled down to the last four wannabes. This year, at least in my opinion, it seems as though…
