It's not exactly my scene, but here's a chance to be a part of a flash mob in the Chicago area.
So here's what Stephen Wozniak is up to ... pretty much what we expected, except the fact that they're using the 900 MHz spectrum and producing their own base stations is a little bit of a surprise. $25 for a tag seems like a great price to maybe see some serious adoption.
We'll keep an eye on this!
Not crazy about the name: "geeplogs" is supposed to be "global positioning" logs ... the merging of GPS and blogs. This article is not too terribly interesting, but the final paragraph thinks about layering information on a physical space using RSS as a means to represent that information. I'm not sure that's an appropriate use of the RSS, but it's a different way of thinking about things.
Pretty stupid movie, but some laughs. It was pretty disjointed and didn't really make a whole lot of sense ... kind of like a bunch of really good SNL skits sewn together into a not-so-good movie.
Quite an interesting movie. It was kind of like watching a long Queen video, with a little bit of Rocky Horror Picture Show thrown in there. Very entertaining, although I'm not quite sure I've got the ending yet. A very unique movie with some decent Meat Loaf-esque tunes.
Saw this totally uncensored on Comedy Central, which was super sweet. Watching this movie the first time it came out in theaters was a landmark moment in my life ... I don't think I've ever been so shocked at what I was watching. And it is so funny it's hard to believe. The creators know how to pay homage to classic musicals just perfectly.
An excellent plotline and atmosphere. I really liked the overlapping stories and the interaction between pacino, swank, and williams. The director did a good job of conveying the insomnia feeling that the main character was going through. All in all, very good suspensful movie.
It's not often, after watching a comedy, that you want to read the book it was based on. This comedy has such wit, that I bet the book was even "more so". Overall good performances, and the cynacism made me laugh, but I felt like it could have been just a little more. Almost deserves another half star.
A decent thriller. I know I've read a Bourne book or two, but I must have read one of the sequels because this was new to me. Nothing really amazing, I actually didn't think Matt Damon did all that much with the character, but it was nice seeing "Lola" again as a lead actress. Three stars because it was entertaining and I like spy movies.
