Well now I’ve finally watched every feature-length Pixar film to date, and I’ve not been disappointed by a single one.
Tonight I watched A Bug’s Life and enjoyed it from start to finish. This movie was definitely farther towards the “kid movie” end of the spectrum, but the story was endearing, the voice acting excellent, [...]

A Bug’s Life

Let’s go Rams! And…pumpkins…
Wednesday, October 31, 2007
Chiggity-check check this out:
My wife carved this awesome pumpkin because she rocks. Here’s hoping this thing causes some smiles from our front porch tonight while the kiddies trick-or-treat in my neighborhood. I find this even more appropriate with the impending VCU Men’s Basketball season.
Can you hear that? In the trees?

When I want a treat for Halloween, I need only look to my dear McSweeney’s.
You’d be amazed at how cheap razorblades are these days.
Your next serious crash could mean serious cash.

Recently, my friend Dave has been spamming me with links to choice articles from The Onion, and today was one of the best yet.
Even though this glorious nugget is nearly 11 years old, you could essentially substitute the years and it would be just as relevant.
Indexed
Tuesday, October 30, 2007
I wrote about Jessica Hagy’s indexed back in February this year, and fortunately for her, so have many others more important than me.
I found out today that she’s releasing a book through one of Joel Turnipseed’s first posts to Kottke.org - an interview with Ms. Hagy, in fact.
The book is titled, appropriately, Indexed, and releases [...]
Balance
Tuesday, October 30, 2007
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this animated short film before (and perhaps some of you have, as well), but I’m certain I’ve never posted about it.
Wolfgang and Christoph Lauenstein’s 1989 (and Oscar-winning) Balance paints a pretty bleak picture for those who’s desires overcome the ability to work for the greater good.
America’s Passed Time
Monday, October 29, 2007
Last night the Boston Red Sox swept the Colorado Rockies in the World Series. The only reason I knew it was game four was because I saw it in the Comcast program guide on my TV when I was checking why there might be no 8:15 NFL game.
I’ve never really been in to the Major [...]
WordPress Updates + Mint
Monday, October 29, 2007
I think I’ve finally hit the point where I’ll just update WordPress manually from now on. This means no upgrading at the office, but I suppose I could be doing some WORK instead…
I just updated to 2.3.1, and as I suspected, it replaced the Themes folder and I had to add the JS line [...]
Da Vinci’s Last Digital Supper
Saturday, October 27, 2007
If you’re willing to wait for the long load time, you can check out Da Vinci’s The Last Supper in 16 BILLION pixels of glory.
The navigation is straight forward enough, and though you can’t see a large blown-up image of the complete work, you can zoom in to any section with great detail. The [...]
Corn is no place for a mighty warrior…
Saturday, October 27, 2007
Well what a fine cap to the end of a long but not-so-bad day! Val and I recently returned from the annual Maize Maze at the Belvedere Plantation. We hung out with our dear friends the Mansfields and wandered in the dark through…well…a giant maze cut out of a huge corn field, essentially.
The [...]
