This article about iBook battery problems is seriously freaking me out. Apparently some people are reporting that after the 10.2.4 OS X upgrade their batteries get drained flat in no time, and the only recourse is to get them replaced. As mine is mostly a desktop machine I keep it plugged in pretty much 24/7,…

I love it when Ebert goes off on non-movie-related rants. Now he’s got a bug up his nose about public prayer. I like his distinction between “vertical” and “horizontal” praying, but I think he’s a little unfair in saying that all public praying is done for recruitment or exclusion. I’m not religious but I went…

Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp are starring in The Pirates of the Caribbean, according to this interview. I predict that the sight of such chiseled and beautiful cheekbones on the screen together will be almost too painful to look at. Almost.

Eek! I am officially out of the new movie loop. I had no idea that a Narnia film was in the works. We saw a theatrical version in London two years ago that was excellent. For some reason I never liked the BBC miniseries though. I guess the casting of Lucy as a little fat…

After the triumph of last week, our trivia karma was evidently all used up. We placed fifth tonight and didn’t come close to winning the jackpot. I myself won the first two mini-prizes of the night though (a jug of beer and a polo shirt), which is pretty satisfying. I correctly answered that when it’s…

The Snook and I flipped on the TV tonight just as the show Getaway was starting. It’s a travel show where the hosts travel around the world and tell you about great places to go. Imagine my surprise when the second segment of the show was on Elkhart, Indiana! The Aussie host was all excited…
