DealExtreme copy @ $3 coming in 5 .... 4....3...

Couldn't agree more. Many, many (MANY) years ago, Julius Caesar in High School was a chore - taking turns reading it out. Yuck. Flash forward to a couple of years ago, the spouse and I saw [The Scottish Play] at the Globe in London. Damn, I still get goose bumps.

I'm not saying all TV writing is stuck in the rules of the Trope-iverse - but I'd have preferred to see:

Anyone else read "Cloud Atlas", look at this thing and think "Orison!"

I gotta say Browder showing up in this weeks ep is literally the only thing that'll get me to tune in to Who. The show just doesn't seem to do it for me any longer.

I'm very, very excited about finally seeing this. I've read the book several times now and, I suppose, I've got a movie of it in my head. I want to see the movie the Wachowskis and Tykwer have in their heads. I want to see how their approach to time-line affects their view of the narrative (narratives?). I also…

I just re-watched the wedding reception and left to right (facing the table) was 1) out of focus woman of the correct age, 2) Amy's Dad, 3) Amy, 4) Rory, 5) Amy's Mom, 6) a largely shielded from the camera male of the correct age. ("Correct age" meaning could be Rory's parents.)

You win the internet - 2 & 3 is probably a double-feature showing somewhere in a movie-house of ill repute.

Cloud Alas - The unfortunate side of connections

And his middle name appears to be "Dicky" too - how unusual.

My Mom's Jell-o always worked like that - we just though she should've used more water.

I often re-read books I've enjoyed but Mitchell's is the first in decades where the turnover was weeks instead of months or years. Obviously the film will only take a thread from the book and play with the timing so I'm approaching it as an alternate telling of the same tale rather than the audio-book with pictures.…

Adding further wobble to the weird spin of all this - Canucks *MUST* buy kindle books via Amazon.com. Amazon.ca is for physical books, dvds, etc. Oh, these modern times.

This is just awesome. I've got two 13/14hr flights in October so at least 4/5 of these will be a nice diversion. Hopefully they'll be kindle-able but I might have a tiny bit of room for one or two real books.

I can't speak specifically about books but I've ordered DVD from Amazon's UK site & had them shipped to Canada without anyone point and screaming at me. ("Black Books" DVDs when they were hideously expensive in North America.)

It sort of sounds like a great drag name: And now, ladies and gentlemen, please give it up for Miss Champagne Supernova!!!! (She could do a duet act with my favourite Tazo Tea: Vanilla Honeybush.)

Aww, it looks like good fun - and Renner (likely) running about in leather pants ain't half bad either.

I found the one in the picture - an ASUS WL-330gE - on sale for $30 (new) a few years ago. It has its own web-based config accessible from either the ethernet (ie laptop plugged in) or over its wifi. It's USB powered so I usually power it from the multi-usb charger I bring for the various ipods, touches, etc.

This can also have an unexpected benefit - speed of connection. We stayed in a hotel a few weekends ago and were given codes for the hotel-wide WiFi. Speed was garbage because every device in the building was trying to get through on the same signal. Building your own ad-hoc network means you're getting ethernet…
