Happy New Year!

Ah the new year is around the corner... some are already there, others are waiting for midnight to appear.

Lots of fun to be had on New Years. Getting together with family and friends. Celebrating another year to come.

It's a yearly ritual that happens. The ball drops in New York City, as 2010 will come in with a bang.

Did 2009 go out in a bang for you? Was it a good year? If you could change a thing about 2009, would you?

For me, I'm excited for 2010 to roll in. Should prove to be fun and exciting. :-)

Merry Christmas

Well tomorrow is Christmas! Woohoo!

So, I'm sending my Christmas Greetings out now. :-) So MERRY CHRISTMAS!

For those of you who don't celebrate Christmas... um, I hope you have a good day tomorrow. :-)

Chrome OS

Can't wait for Chrome OS to come out next year... dang. Watched a video on YouTube today. It was a demo... the machine booted in 7 seconds, and they say that they're working on decreasing it even further?! WOOT!

That's what I'm talkin' about.

Well we have to wait till the end of next year for it to come out. It will be worth it for sure. Methinks I will wait on getting a netbook until Chrome OS comes out. It is going to rock for sure.

One interesting thing about it... is it's taking the whole "Cloud" computing at heart. From the demo, it looks like Chrome OS will take advantage of the internet 100% for everything. You want to write a document, bam you get logged into Google Docs... etc. Very nice indeed.

Future Never Looked So Bad

One thing that never ceases to amaze me is how terrible the future looks in science fiction shows. Not all sci-fi shows mind you... but it is a popular reoccurring theme.

I wonder why they do that... why can't someone display the future as a nice place to be? They don't do that... they prefer to have you believe that everything goes crazy haywire in the future and it's all messed up.

Before long, you have evil cyborgs going nuts killing people and other things.

You would hopefully prefer that the future isn't too bad, that it's somewhat a nice place to live and or be. Of course the movies have a reason for showing how terrible life is... so the main character can go back in time and fix it.

But how boring is that? It's been done... and it will continue to be done... and over done. That is their way of doing things.

Random Movies on iTunes

So, I've been in the habit of purchasing random movies from iTunes... having never heard of or watched them before, it's my first time viewing them. Some may consider this is a waste of money, but that's not the point. If you want to get into the grit of it, it's my money to waste.

Anyways... I've bought a handful of movies, some of them are great, others not so much. I prefer to consider it an experiment to see how different authors write, and how the different genera all work out. It's enjoyable it really is.

Try it sometime, you may or may not regret what you decide. One thing to note, read the reviews... that will at least steer you in one direction or the other.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine: The Soul Key

Stayed up till 4 am this morning finishing the book "The Soul Key". Talk about wow! I enjoyed Fearful Symmetry so much, that I had to get the book that finished it.

I don't believe I got bored with this book at all... it was just so... wow! I won't say anything about the plot or anything, just get the two books... read them, and have fun. That's really all there is to it.

Enjoyed it a lot, would highly recommend it to fans of Deep Space Nine!

Stargate SG-1 Children of the Gods - Movie

[caption id="attachment_523" align="alignleft" width="220" caption="DVD Box"][/caption]
Downloaded Children of the Gods Final Cut from iTunes the other night. This is an updated version of the pilot episode... they took out some things, moved parts around... and updated the special effects.

Sounds simple enough.

Not sure which version I prefer... the original or the revised one. I suppose in the end it doesn't matter... it's all good and fun.

Kind of interesting... after watching this. It makes me want to watch the entire SG-1 series all over again. Perhaps write a short review or a few thoughts on the episodes like I'm doing on SG:U.

Of course then I'll have to get Stargate Atlantis as well. Hmmm... couldn't hurt I suppose. It's an awesome show... yes, I believe that's what I will do.

Oh shoot, I need to get the original movie as well. Shoot, this will be one heck of a project. I do believe I will enjoy it.

Anywhoo, if you've not downloaded this or bought it. I suggest you get it. You can read a more detailed report on what they did to the episode at GateWorld.

SG:U - Justice

Watched the latest episode of Stargate Universe last night, titled Justice.

Um... okay... so it's getting better than it was last week. At least that's what I'm thinking about it. Interesting how the main guy in charge just left Rush on that planet after kicking his ass to the ground. He'll reappear I'm sure... just a question of when.

And what was up with the chair drilling into the dude's head? Now THAT was interesting... I suppose version 1.0 Alpha of anything have some... erm... bugs to work out? If causing damage to a person's head is considered a bug? Yeah... should be interesting to see what they do with that one.
