The Bourne Ultimatum Mini-Review Comments 12 Comments

August 26th, 2007 ,

Reviews are spoilerfree but beware of comments.

The Bourne Ultimatum is the third film about Jason Bourne, secret agent extraordinnaire. It immediately picks up the events of the first two movies and further explains Bournes background, memory loss and role in a secret training program.

For people who haven’t seen the first two, there are flashbacks to fill in the gaps. For people who have seen them, there’s a slightly odd chronology, as Ultimatum begins right at the end of the car chase in that Russian tunnel (which is not where Supremacy ended).

Jason Bourne is a modern James Bond. They share initials, great film score and rad car chases. That’s where the similarities end and the road forks. If I had to pick one road to follow, I’d go with Bourne.

Ultimatum brilliantly succeeds where Supremacy (which was a great movie, make no mistake) fell slightly short. It has (almost) the same mystical feeling the first one had, and it certainly has the action and pace of both movies.

Ultimatum is eminently watchable and very worth your cinema bucks.

Just yesterday, Adobe released a beta version of their new Flash Player. The new version 9 beta adds support for H.264 compressed video and hardware acceleration for fullscreen HD video. Still no hardware acceleration for plain old non-video Flash.

First!

Perhaps you’ve seen it before, sometimes as the first comment on a blogpost, sometimes as the second. It is, of course, the work of a first poster.

Some time in March 2003 Bush started the war on Iraq. It was all about fighting back at Al Quaeda for what they did in September 2001, oh and also disarming Saddam of all those nuclear weapons he had bought in Africa.

There weren’t any ties to Al Quaeda, and so far they haven’t found any nukes. Or chemical weapons. Or anything.


Indiana Jones and the … [Update] Comments 3 Comments

August 13th, 2007 ,

These following six titles have apparently been submitted for title registration by Lucas:

  • Indiana Jones and the City of Gods
  • Indiana Jones and the Destroyer of Worlds
  • Indiana Jones and the Fourth Corner of the Earth
  • Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
  • Indiana Jones and the Lost City of Gold
  • Indiana Jones and the Quest for the Covenant

City of Gods is apparently the working title. Destroyer of Worlds?

[Update]: Apparently the right title is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Freshly designed in preparation for the 1.0 release of the Fauna Wordpress Theme, this logo depicts a moose. My favourite animal, and not coincidentally classified as fauna.


Google Docs Review Comments 4 Comments

This review isn’t as simple as it looks, so before you brush off Google Docs with a 3 heart rating, read the last paragraph.

Just last week I had my project management final (which went well). Leading up to this, me and a few colleagues worked together in Google Docs on the project assignment.

Google Docs is part of a free mini-office suite that contains a word processor and a spreadsheet. It’s all web-based and collaborative, meaning several people can edit the same document at the same time. Documents are stored on Googles servers.

This is what I learned from working with a 40+ page document…
