9 CommentsRewatching Casino Royale the other day, I noticed Le Chiffre (danish actor by the way) reach for his inhaler to deal with an instant case of asthma. Having said respiratory disorder, I know for a fact that that’s not how it works.
Acute medicine to be taken to unblock the throat immediately. It’s not to be taken every other minute. I noticed the same thing in Superman Returns with Lois Lanes kid. If it was real life and not a movie, he’d be very lightheaded by now.
2 CommentsA tyrant is always stirring up some war in order that the people may require a leader.
- Plato
The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them that they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and [...]
9 CommentsI’ve found myself to be wanting to share newly discovered music with, well, everyone. I’ve also found myself to not be alone in this urge to share.
It seems to me that the ability to listen to what someone else is listening to should be the next step for services such as last.fm. Of course that requires quite a hosted database of music. Alternatively, since we have both chat and video in IM programs, why not a “listen to” feature? I’d love that in Google Talk.
Can I get an amen?
17 CommentsWith last weeks comment scare, I think hope it’s now safe to use the comments again. Right now I’m wondering what web development app(s) my esteemed readers are using for their coding needs. Just this morning, John Gruber wrote about Coda, a so-called “one window web-development app”; meaning: one app to browse, code & upload your website.
But what’s so special about that? I’ve used Dreamweaver for ages, and it does just that: browse, code & upload. Are Coda and Dreamweaver really the only two apps that do this? And would you prefer such an environment, or do you have your own setup?

I provided a ZenPhoto backend which makes the case section fully dynamic, automatic, sortable and easily add-to-able.
8 CommentsDue to excessive spamming by bots, I’ve had to turn off commenting for now. Please be patient as I scramble for solutions. If you need to get in touch with me, you’ll have to do it the old fashioned way.
Update: Commenting opened again. We’ll see how it goes.

The first official word from Bethesda since they recently acquired the Fallout 3 license. PipBoy is back!
12 CommentsThis will be an opportunity for you to point at me and laugh. Today, I have a proper backup solution. I have just purchased and received a Western Digital “My Book” 250 GB (More photos) external hard-drive for backup alone. Why laugh, you ask? Well because I haven’t had a proper backup system until today.
The drive itself looks nice, is very quiet, is as fast as USB 2 allows and is generally nice (considering the price was rather low). It does have an external PSU. It doesn’t have a special “backup everything” button, I plan to either manually do my backups or explore a software solution.
Are you backed-up?
15 CommentsAdobe has started shipping their Creative Suite 3 including a new Adobe Media Player. Incidentally, Microsoft has also just launched their competitor, Microsoft Silverlight (previously known as Windows Presentation Foundation/Everywhere, or WPF/E).
The competition is direct; Adobe now has a web media player solution (video on demand, trailers, there are plenty of reasons to have a strong offering here) and Apollo, a crossplatform runtime that allows one to create web-apps; applications that work like regular appplications, but are/can be deeply integrated with the web (RIAs). In the other corner, we have Silverlight which claims to do exactly the same. In various commentary we’re told that whichever platform wins, both companies win. Even so, there’s nothing like a good cagematch and some healthy competition. Round one: Fight!
7 CommentsArmed with Final Fantasy 3 on my DS, the other day I was following the intricacies of a standard Final Fantasy quest. Explore the dungeon - fight the monsters - approach the throne - fight the baddie - save the crystal. The predictable formula made me wonder: What if life were more like an RPG? I imagine …

13 CommentsWhen Tim O’Reilly drafted a Bloggers Code of Conduct, it sent waves through the so-called blogosphere. While O’Reilly encourages open discussion on this draft, it begs the question: do we even need a code of conduct at all?
4 CommentsThe Knytt was abducted by an alien! Traveling through space, the UFO flies into a meteor and crashes on a nearby planet. Luckily, the Knytt and the alien survive, but the UFO is a wreck. How can the Knytt possibly find its way back home again?
CommentReviews are spoilerfree but beware of comments.
300 is based on Frank Miller’s comic-book of the same name. It creatively re-tells the story of the Battle of Thermopyl?, where 300 spartan warriors held their ground against a persion army of millions.
300 is an extremely stylistic action porno with lots of slow-motion and gallons of blood splatter. It’s the sort of movie that garners grunts, snickers and “Hell yeah”s from the cinema audience. For what it tries to be, it succeeds immensely. It’s one of the best action movies I’ve seen in a long time.
For the action, I give two stars. For the style and art direction, I give another two. This leaves room for two more stars that should’ve been depth and character development. As it stands, 300 is an extremely cool looking exhilerating action flick. Unfortunately, that’s also all it is. The emotional attachment in say, The Lord of the Rings, could really have done wonders for 300.
