I’ve not traveled much by any stretch of the imagination. I have friends (like Mike Connolly) that have traveled around the world and experienced many cultures. My trips have been limited to the US, India, and parts of Europe. Yet it seems that I have more travel experience that most people. Why is it that people fail to travel anywhere except to pre-packaged resort all inclusive packages? Whatever happened to going on a road trip with only a compass and the only guides being the sun and the occasional advice from a stranger?

Actually, I think this makes for some really sweet water balloon fights!

When UK Prime Minister Brown visited US President Obama he received 25 US DVDs. Of course what nobody at the time thought of were two things: region coding and signal format. Well, it turns out that Brown definitely ran into the region coding problem. Most commercial DVDs released by movie studios are region coded so that DVDs bought in a certain part of the world only play in DVD players bought in that part of the world.

The opening credits to “Watchmen”is one of the best credits I’ve seen to date. It’s unlike most other films in that it educates you to the events leading up to the movie. Most credit sequences are simply that…credit sequences and it’s rare to find sequences where you can’t pay attention to the titles because there’s simply something far too interesting going on. Jonalso pointed out another great opening credit sequence from “The Kingdom” 

Have returned from Snowplate 2009 up in Sudbury. It’s an amazing tournament that I suggest all attend next year. Photos coming soon.

Finally after a year or so I bring you an update. I am working on a little project to update the platform that this blog/blag runs off of. I also expect to spawn several blogs targeting each specific area of my life: code, Ultimate, photography, and life in general. They will all merge back here on this site as I am working on a new form of blog sharing concept. I have to solidify the design for that before I publish it.

My subwoofer causes disc burning to fail.

Yes, I could drive a car even if my hands were flippers.

Normally I wouldn’t post a trailer that’s as slow as this one but…the disco music at the end goes way back to my childhood and I’m hooked on that alone…darn movie companies know exactly how to get my money.
