I have to hand it to Audi – this is the funniest commercial I’ve seen in some time, especially outside of the Super Bowl. This commercial has it all – and the best part is some of the in-jokes for Star Trek fans. I don’t want to spoil it for you, so go spend 2… Read more »

Who was REALLY behind the destruction of the Death Star?
You decide.
Cutting the Cable, Part 2
A few weeks ago I blogged about buying the hardware to set up a MythTV PC to record off air high def TV and integrate it with Boxee. The hardware arrived and I’ve been working on on the setup off and on over the last few weeks. Some random thoughts: The HD Homerun tuner is… Read more »
Cutting the cable
I’m an entertainment junkie. I own hundreds of music CD’s, books, movies and am an early adopter of Blu-Ray. My usual routine once my two youngest children are in bed at 8 pm is to plop down on my couch, put my notebook on my lap and use that while watching my pretty 60″ TV…. Read more »
eBook Readers & the Publishing Industry
I’ve been wanting an eReader for a while. When the Kindle first launched, I was in awe. I quickly sat down and calculated the number of books I buy in a year and compared that against the cost of a Kindle and the savings of buying an e-book for $10 vs. the hardcover price. Let’s… Read more »
Netflix
After a two year break, I signed up for Netflix again. Towards the end of my last subscription, I was paying $15 / month to hang on to two or three DVDs I never got around to watching. I’m the type of customer Netflix loves – really active, then a couple months of inactivity. To… Read more »
Blu-Ray goes for the knockout blow

Toshiba, owner of the HD-DVD patent? Suprised. And even better, Warner, unlike Universal when they went HD-DVD exclusive, didn’t take a dime. Even… Read more »
Bladerunner: The Final Cut
I headed to downtown Minneapolis Friday afternoon, and caught a screening of Bladerunner: The Final Cut. It’s been 48 hours since I saw the film, and it touches me in a way few films do – I sit here and still struggle to put in to words the emotions Bladerunner evokes for me. From the… Read more »
Blade Runner
I’ve previously mentioned my enthusiasm for Blade Runner (interesting, but horrible, flash website), and was happy to see (via the Digital Bits) today that the Final Cut will be opening in Minneapolis on Nov. 30th at the Uptown Theater. I originally saw Blade Runner when the Director’s Cut was screened in 1992 in Milwaukee, and… Read more »
Happy Birthday Bladerunner
Today is the 25th anniversary of Bladerunner. To celebrate, I’m off to watch the movie on the big TV with my laptop in tow to get some work done. I was only 9 when this was released, but I still vividly remember seeing the re-release in 1992 at the Oriental Theater in Milwaukee when the… Read more »
