Manipulators
Cool little article dissecting some oft-heard anti-Mac opines. I’m not trying to wage a Mac-Vs-PC battle here, as there is no point, but rather that this is a neat article that points out some ways that things can be painted in a bad light even when they are not actually negative traits.
I just read that article about the crazy Scientologist stuff, Jeremy. It’s a good article. It prompts me again to ask, “WHAT ARE PEOPLE THINKING!?” There must be a bunch of weak-willed, easily manipulated, needy people out there to fall for such cults. If you’d like to know more about what I think, as well as contribute to the Great All Knowing Sauza’s Mission To Enlighten Man, send a bunch of PayPal money to pjf@stealingfocus.com. I’ll be sure to let you know what you can do about all those space aliens that are knawing on your tendons.
By the way, the new Battlestar Galactica starts in a few hours here on the West Coast. I think it will do well. Enjoy the effects. I worked my butt off for those.
Also by the way, Sauza Tres Generations is the tequilla to beat. I have tried Patron. I have tried Don Julio…they cannot stand up to this might.
Uncovered: The Whole Truth about the Iraq War…
…very interesting! I’m already signed up for a viewing in Canyon Country. There’s probably one near you and it’s a good chance to meet neighbors who feel as you do!
We welcome you back to the good ol’ USA, Todd.
In the meantime, Brent has gone to vacation in Hawaii. His cold, however, decided to stay at my place when he came by to borrow the (probably broken) iBook.
What will I do with a broken iBook now?
well, we are back from the premiere.
Pretty cool event actually. over 100000 people actually came out to see it all. lots of people dressed up as hobbits and elves too, no dwarves though.
our VFX prod and Peter both acknowledge Digi and workshops hard work, which was cool.
Tomorrow brings more packing
later

Been an interesting couple of days here. Thursday was the digi wrap party, Melissa got her picture taken with Frodo

We will be in the Bay Area in early January.
well, time to go start getting ready for the party.
Will post pictures later.

ViewSonic Pocket PC V36 Anybody interested in buying a Pocket PC, tomorrow, at CompUSA is the time. You get that Pocket PC, with 64MB ram and built in camera, and a free Seiko SmartPad (notepad thing that transfers your writing into the PPC) for $199 after the rebates.
It seems kind of redundant to post reasons to hate Bush though, if you haven’t found plenty already you obviously haven’t been paying attention!
