Death of the PC

Yoshi and me were just chatting about the eventual death of both the PC and the mobile phone as we know them today when he asked me to test this FFAF-thingy for him. So since that happened, here I am.

So let me ask you the larger viewing audience than I have over at my site: Do you know what Flash Memory is? Do you know what a MicroSD card is? How do you feel about something like that replacing the CD and DVD so that PCs can become smaller? No more need for an optical drive. We’re past that now… it’s just that the industry has yet to really grasp that and catch up. We already get our music digitally. We can now get our HD movies digitally. Mac users have been stealing their software digitally for years. So why do we still have optical disks?

Have you seen the prices on Flash Memory lately? If not, take a look. You should get to know the future.

Topical Tuesday

Normally, I wouldn’t do a meme, but as everyone knows, sometimes I succumb to things. This week, Topical Tuesday is about the Oscars, and well, I just couldn’t resist.

What are some things that are bothering me about the Oscars this year? The fact that Brad Renfro was not mentioned in the memoriam. Not sure what’s up with that, but of course the Oscar mentioned that they only had a limited time, and could not mention everyone. Why was Brad bumped out? It couldn’t have been anyone else right? It couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that he died because of a heroine overdose could it? I hope not, because that would be some kind of discrimination. There are a lot of rumours out on the Internet. Who knows why he was bumped. It’s probably true that there’s no particular reason, and they did it because they really didn’t have any time. Ok, that’s cool.

Then it brings me to another thing. During the montages of all the hosts of the Oscars, did you get to see Whoopi Goldberg? You may have watched the View or seen all the news about it on the Internet. They totally did not include her in the montage, but did they show all of them? I think that it’s really awful they didn’t include Whoopi, I love her to death, but I think she may have overreacted. Although a part of me agrees with her when she said, “Undoubtedly, I pissed somebody off once again.” Although I have no idea why. She’s funny as hell!

What do you think? Opinions? Conspiracy Theories? Bring it!

Oscar Night

The OscarsTomorrow is Oscar Night. For those of you who watch movies all the time, this may be a momentous occasion for you. For those of us who don’t watch as many movies as we’d like, this is fun, but almost empty, since we have not seen half (or even 3/4) of the movies being nominated for Best Film. But, I just like watching the Oscars, even though I’ve never seen any of the movies.

Did you have any particular plans? I present a poll for you!

How do you pronounce the year 2010?

Who’s ready for some kung fu?

OMG I cannot wait for this movie to come out:

The Forbidden Kingdom

If you’re wondering who that boy is, that’s Jack’s son from Will and Grace!

Jackie Chan and Jet Li in one film fighting each other? It would be worth it just to see that.

Quantum of Solace

“Quantum of Solace” will be the next (22nd) Bond film, coming out this November 7 as revealed by producers outside of Pinewood Studios in London.

Daniel Craig is back as James Bond, continuing right after Casino Royale. Of course, I’m guessing that we’ll have to get around to actually watching Casino Royale since the DVD has been sitting there for ages waiting to be watched. As a matter of a fact, I don’t think I’ve taken the plastic wrapping off of it yet.

Mathieu Amalric will be the Bond villian, and Olga Kurylenko will be the Bond girl.

Cloverfield

Saw Cloverfield. Wow. I won’t give out any spoilers, but if you’ve got questions, I might answer you in email if you leave a comment. But honestly, you should probably go see it unless you’re really prone to motion sickness. (i.e. if Blair Witch Project made you sick, this probably will too.) It’s compared a lot to Blair Witch, only because of the camera work was similar.

I like to think that this was a love story, which happened to have a thirty story tall monster in it. seriously.

Plugins, Facebook, and Movies oh my!

So, as promised (wait did I promise to do this?), I am bulleting a list of plugins that I simply can’t live without for Wordpress. I’ll put that at the end of the post, so please feel free to read on or just simply click the link to continue reading.

So I’ve been obsessing with Facebook lately. It would seem that I’ve actually got quite a few good friends in there. What’s even better, is that I finally caught up with a very good friend of which I had lost touch with a couple years ago. I’ll just go right ahead and pimp her site. Take a visit, say hello, tell her Yoshi sent you. But I digress.

Facebook is pretty cool. While I normally do detest those social networking sites like say… Myspace, I still hang out and stuff, because I like to keep up with the Jones’ and stay up to date on what’s cool and what’s not so cool. I try. But facebook has some pretty cool things in there like Applications that let you send your friends a round of drinks, play trivia games, and even a vampire application where you can bite your friends. Pretty Nifty, I think.

All in all, I think Facebook is just a good way to keep in touch with your friends. Pretty much like all social networking sites really. But I just really like Facebook. But I’ve been playing with that for a bit.
