BitTorrent servers under attack
Seems BitTorrent servers around the world are getting DDoS’d a lot recently. I wonder who could be behind that… who would have the motive and the resources to pull something like that off? Hmm, could it be… SATAN!

Happy Thanksgiving!
May all of you spend the holiday with those you care about and those who care about you.
A big happy birthday to a good friend of mine. Hope you are having a good time and you can remember it in the morning.
Garden State is one of those movies where after it ends you think to yourself, “damn, I wish they made more movies like that.”
Largeman, played by Zach Braff, comes back to his home town for the funeral of his quadriplegic mother. Leaving the antidepressants his father prescribes him at home, he slowly comes out of the foggy numbness that is the last 10+ years of his life. Over the course of a few days Largeman begins to figure out who he is and what it’s like to feel life.
I really enjoyed the characters and dialog in this movie. After Largeman meets Sam, played by Natalie Portman, he really begins to open up and the dialog between the two of them is fantastic. Although Sam quiets down after the first half of the movie, I still really enjoyed Largeman’s “conversations” with Sam. I say “conversations” because many of them are just Largeman talking to Sam, almost like we are hearing his inner dialog. Through these conversations we really begin to understand the depth of these characters and why they are the way they are.
Maybe different but remember
Winters warm where you and I
Kissing whiskey by the fire
With the snow outside
And when the summer comes
In the river
Swims at midnight
Shiver cold
Touch the bottom
Starry night
With muddy toes
Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you should
It was good as good goes
Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you did
This is just too good to pass up. Ashlee Simpson’s “performance” on Saturday Night Live last night brought comedy to a whole new level; in fact it couldn’t have been funny if it was planned, and in some respects I feel it was.

As I type this there are three fire trucks, two ambulances, and a few cop cars down the street less than half a block away. I first hear sirens around 2am, maybe a bit earlier, and think nothing of it. Then I hear a girl yell, “the fire’s over here.” This is when I decide to get out of bed and see what was going on.

Holy crap, this is just about the craziest thing I have ever seen. I suppose the idea isn’t all that nuts, but just look at those pictures, it looks like something out of the Matrix. Interesting stuff.
I have just finished watching Napoleon Dynamite and I felt compelled to write a little something about it. For those of you who have never heard of this movie, Napoleon Dynamite is the main character and a super geek. Continue reading
