Happy to have been wrong about Avatar. Confused about Bullock.

I feel immensely better now for having watched the history of the Himalayan mountain range the other night. With popcorn! Nothing beats continental drift, plate tectonics and the Indian subcontinent for a rollicking evening. (This message has been scanned for irony and declared 100% free of it.)

Couldn’t agree more. When I want someone’s opinion of a movie, I go straight to Ebert. As you point out, his opinion may not dovetail with mine, but it will always be thoughtful and intelligent. Truly a hero, and I wish him a long and happy life.

When reading this article the song “When the Beatles Hit America”, from John Wesley Harding on the 1990 “Just Say Da” album kept playing in my head.

I found his update to that song, but still, you get the idea:

I have a theory that “nod” was originally a misspelling of “nom” (short for nomination). Or not.

Comment on iPad by alienintheheights

True, true. Then again it’s basically a glorified iTouch, something that has been evolving nicely since 2006. The bigger downside I see is networking. The iPad supports WiFi and 3G. However, the only supported 3G is AT&T, though they claim it’s not locked. If Verizon wants to support it, the gizmo will work. I certainly don’t want to pay an extra $30/m to use this thing. On the other hand, having a WiFi-only version will be fine at home.

Good article on how the iPad will likely crush AT&T’s network:

Love it… but like all things Apple (or new and shiny), I’m waiting for at least 2nd generation.

Let someone else pay too much and work out the bugs

Comment on El Grosso with a Silent O by alienintheheights

It’s sitting in a box on my neighbor’s steps. Their kids love it. I think you’ll have to fight them for it.
