George Lucas Contends That Han Never Shot First,... →
I think George Lucas is the one who’s confused. The only thing I’m confused about is why I kept repeatedly giving him any of my money after the 1997 “Special” editions of those movies.
Edit: I just wanted to add that I think everybody likes the Han Solo who shoots a bill collector dead better than the one Lucas has retroactively conceived.

Some Thoughts On The New Van Halen
I’ve been listening to the new Van Halen and here are a few thoughts on it. 1) A lot of it is old material that has been available in some form as demos and live bootlegs from the band’s pre-record deal days. It’s been reworked, but like the first six albums, a lot of it is mining material written back when these guys were teenagers. It’s sort of like George Lucas and how...

I Didn't Elect Them!
I’ve been seeing more hate for Americans on the internet than usual over the last few days. As if the average American likes or condones the actions of the MPAA and RIAA and their paid government stooges. Believe me Euro and other places folks, we hate those guys just as much as the rest of you. Some might argue that we vote them into office. There’s huge flaws in that assumption. We...

Two Ways Megaupload Made Themselves A Target
Putting a little more thought into it, it’s easy to see why Megaupload got shut down. They offer the same things as many cyber-locker or file host services do, but there are two things they did that separate them from say Rapidshare or Fileserve.
1) They ran a streaming video service in Megavideo. So not only could you possibly download content that is under copyright, you could watch it...

Want To Stop SOPA, PIPA, And Whatever Else?
The only way we (as a society) could ever come close to stopping the continual barrage of media corporations throwing money at politicians to create laws for them will never happen. Even if this particular round of laws aimed at protecting the copyright cartels doesn’t pass, it won’t dissuade them. They’ve got the money and resources to keep trying to buy whatever laws they want...

When The Other Guy Gets Mad, We Make Money
I love being berated in the chat box when I stack a fish. Or, at least I do when they keep going on and on about it and then I stack them a few more times.
Normally I don’t chat and keep playing. But this time this short-stacking idiot kept going on and on and on. So I pointed out that I was the “donk” playing with HIS money. This sent him into further spew monkey tilt mode....

New Possible Doctor Who Companion?
There rumor floating around is that Miranda Hart might be replacing Karen Gillan. I really hope that isn’t the case. Mostly because I didn’t enjoy her work in NOT GOING OUT and HYPERDRIVE. But also because going to this…
from this…
…is a massive downgrade (and boner-killer).

New Year, Same Me!
Top of my New Years Resolutions list was to procrastinate less. I’m already putting off finishing the list and posting it.
So yeah, that’s how well that’s going.

Last One Of 2011
I’ll be glad to see the end of 2011.
The year pretty much sucked. The government took away online poker (for the most part), and now they’re trying to censor the internet. The weather where I live was pretty rotten a bunch of times, with multiple power outages and lots of damage to the area. There was probably some other bad stuff, but I can’t remember it at the moment.
