GNU/Solaris is already here.
As I was watching the post Super Bowl analysis on ESPN, the movie promo of Shooter, starring Mark Wahlberg, caught my attention and the plot seemed very familiar. Didn’t Keenan Ivory Wayans already do this movie in Most Wanted? Most Wanted, by the way, is pretty good.
Apple is messing with Microsoft. Payback must suck for Microsoft.
Maybe the time has finally come for me to start reading the Harry Potter series. I didn’t like the movies much. In fact, I have yet to watch one from beginning to end in a sitting (I’m one those “I’ll wait for the movie to come out on TV” people). The books may provide some insight into understanding the hysteria related to all things Harry Potter.
The Kobe Bryant suspension is the perfect example of how crappy the NBA is now. I’d rather watch soccer.
You know what irritates me most about reading online? Not having the ability to resize the content so that I can bust out the arrow pacing technique, a reading technique presented in Stephen Holbrook’s Rapid Reading for Busy People, for faster reading. Instead, I’m forced into using the two-stop method as described in Wade Cutler’s Triple Your Reading Speed. I know my own blog is guilty too.
