Review: Spider-Man 3
Now I enjoyed the first two movies a lot (although, I may be in the minority in that I liked the first one more than the second) so I walked into the third fairly optimistic. Although, I’d heard all the rumors that the cost of this movie (including marketing) was half a billion dollars, which [...]
Mini review: Shrek the Third
Shrek. I grudgingly liked the first one a fair bit and was even more surprised to find that I liked the second one as well. So I went into the Third one half thinking they’d keep rolling on and I’d love it and half thinking that there was no way they could keep it up. [...]
Review: Zelazny’s Manna from Heaven
I found out about Manna from Heaven a bit ago and when I was stymied in trying to get Betancourt’s Amber and Chaos, I felt the need for some more time in Amber and Manna from Heaven promised a few short stories in the setting. I’d settle for some crumbs from the master.
So I haven’t [...]
Online Finance Review: Yodlee vs. Wesabe
Ok, so I’ve been using Yodlee’s Moneycenter for a long time now and I love it. It keeps track of literally everything from credit cards to banks to my time warner account to my frequent flyer miles, if I have an account it tracks it automatically. I’ve seen a bunch of posts over the past [...]
I caught it on tv… Tokyo Drift
So there were many festivities this weekend, starting thursday night and ending with a sunday brunch. By sunday afternoon I was done and all I wanted to do was my best broccoli impression on my couch. Sat down, began the impression and saw that The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift was on. Now I [...]
Some thoughts on the Buffy Comic
So I was out the other day coming back from a client when I decided to stop by Forbidden Planet - things have been sheer madness here and I haven’t been there in a couple months. First of all, when did the memo go out that good looking girls now can frequent and even work [...]
Review: Mailinator v. MintEmail v. Guerrilla Mail v. Dodgeit
So after that post on Guerrilla Mail I received via various means tips to a few other services that hit the same sweet spot, namely easy read-only/temporary mailboxes that let you sign up safely and privately for sites that do email verification. The contestants as my cryptic title line put it are: Mailinator, MintEmail, Guerrilla [...]
Review: Enquisite
A commenter here directed my attention towards Enquisite a web based reporting service who’s hook is their focus on search referrals. With an obsessive granularity and focus on reporting on search engines and search phrases they provide you with a wealth of information that I haven’t seen in other reporting tools. My short review is [...]
Review: Mechademia
I’ve finally finished reading Mechademia: Emerging Worlds off Anime and Manga. This is the first volume of an annual publication for anime, manga and the fan arts. As the name suggests it promotes an academic view of these topics, which I think is a wonderful idea.
The variety of topics is pretty wide - anywhere [...]
Review: Goplan (vs Basecamp)
I took a quick look at Goplan the other day to see how it worked. I’m a medium time, off and on Basecamp user and haven’t been fully satisfied with it so was looking to see if Goplan remedied some problems. The executive summary is that I think that Goplan doesn’t feel like a released, [...]
