Daredevil

Daredevil Movie

So we went to see Daredevil last night. Suffice to say, I’m the only one who liked it. It was exactly what I expected, no less, no more. Affleck’s acting was, in my opinion, spot on for a blind man. Elektra was ok, and Bullseye was right on.

Daredevil was one of the few comic books I read when I was a kid. I was more into baseball cards than comic books, and really didn’t even own any. Daredevil was one of the few I did read. While the revenge motive was new for the movie to get people going, I thought it was ok, even though it was a different twist than what the comic book had.

I think it was better than X-Men, which I thought was ok.

They’re all signed up for a sequel anyway, so now that we know the backstory, maybe people will accept the 2nd one more. (And the Kevin Smith cameo was good. :))

Stupid Winamp

Why can’t Winamp stream Ogg files correctly? Very annoying. Well, it’s still a step up from Windows Media Player that can’t even play Ogg files.

All Hail Zinf! (Formerly FreeAmp) which can stream Ogg files in Windows.

Date Thing

Haha, I figured it out. I had it set to: Day (Fri), Month: (Feb), Year: (03) so it spits out Fri.Feb.03. The 03 wasn’t the date, it was the year. I think I fixed it.

Misc. Stuff

I finally got the RSS feed to work on Silwenae.com for this blog. Added the EFF RSS feed as well.

For whatever reason, the Gadsden Flag post below is dated on the site as 2-3 — but it’s 2/14. No idea why it did that.

Still can’t get the NWN server up. Slivers emailed me some ideas to try. I’ll get to that this weekend.

Gadsden Flag

I have added the Gadsden Flag to Silwenae.com and linked it to America Live Free. The Gadsden Flag is becoming more and more popular as a way of showing support against President Bush’s attempts to restrict civil liberties.

I know my views aren’t always agreed with – but even under a threat of so-called war, there absolutely no reason to be reading citizen’s emails, opening up wire-taps, and other proposed legislation that limits us.

I’ll leave you with this from America Live Free:

_

We recognize that informed dissent is patriotic, that questioning the government’s actions is patriotic, that demanding that all branches of government adhere to the Constitution is patriotic. For it is the patriotic dissenter who has the greatest commitment to the ideals upon which our nation was founded and it is he that keeps our nation on the right path.

This is the time for us to reaffirm the foundation, the cornerstone of our Democracy. It is time for us to rise up and stand for the promise, the vision, the guarantee of what our founding fathers had in mind for us: one great nation of free people, pursuing life, liberty and happiness.

We, the people, stand for the Constitution. We stand for our country. We stand for freedom.

Do not tread on us.
