J.A.R.V.I.S

If you are a geek like me, and you saw the Iron Man movies, you probably weirded out when you saw Tony Stark's Mainframe. An A.I like that is every nerd's dream, not to mention the interface.
Now you're all thinking "Wow, They'll never invent something like that in my lifetime."
BUT WAIT!! An innovative gent named Chad Barraford has made what is essentaly a J.A.R.V.I.S system in his own house!
Now, there aren't any holographic displays, but this system can tell when Chad is home, when he isn't, and what's going on with his Netflix qeue.

Junk food for thought...

Eddie Izzard, and The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny

A little bit of Internet video recommendations for all you thousands of my followers:
As mentioned in the title, I have two videos that have just recently caught on among my circle of friends, even if they are a little old.
Death Star canteen


One is Eddie Izzard's "Death Star canteen" sketch. he's a wierd guy , but it is most humorous, but has some rather strong profanity in it, so don't go showing it to your 3 year old cousin.

The other is a song called "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny." All about superheros and such. Good Stuff.

Both are on YouTube, just search their titles and various versions will pop up.

Happy watching!

Star Trek 2009

Let's just start off right away. Star Trek 2009 was ****. To quote Bart Simpson, "I didn't know this was physically possible, but this sucks and blows at the same time."

And indeed, ST2K9 sucks and blows. It relies on the tired old excuse that this is "an alternate timeline. Unfortunately, this isn't true for the first parts of the story.

For a detailed description of all the holes and discrepancies in the plot, see Star Trek By The Minute, very well written by a gent named BurntSynapse.

In conclusion, I would like to say that I am glad that Gene Roddenberry is in space, where he can't hear about this movie. But according to the physics of this movie, he probably could.
