Right outside my office window are a few palm trees. Today the gardeners were here trimming them. What a show! First they climb the tree using spiked heels and a rope that wraps around the tree. Then they unhook a chainsaw from their belt and they GO TO TOWN. You can’t really see it in…

Disneyland officially turns 50 this Sunday the 17th. There is a very real possibility that the park will reach its maximum capacity and that the entrance gates will be closed. It’s rare, but it does happen! I think the last time might have been Christmas day last year. The 50th birthday itself is bound to…
A consultancy agency with government and police connections was running an exercise for an unnamed company that revolved around the London Underground being bombed at the exact same times and locations as happened in real life on the morning of July 7th. Gentlemen, start your conspiracy-theory-generating engines! The exact same times AND locations? Whoever orchestrated…
The Walt Disney Company, Roy E. Disney and Stanley P. Gold announced today that they have agreed to put aside the differences that have characterized their relationship over the past several years. Wow. Let’s see what happens with this. http://www.savedisney.com/
Google just released three interesting, if not completely useless, Firefox Extensions. The Google Toolbar looks interesting enough, but Firefox already has its own Google search box, and I don’t think the extra features the Toolbar adds are ever used by anybody!

Corpse Bride trailer is here!
We rode the new-and-improved Space Mountain last night. It’s hard to believe that it’s been closed for more than two years! The track layout is unchanged, although the track itself has been completely rebuilt from scratch. The ride experience really isn’t much different at all. The queue has been given a show upgrade and looks…
If Steve Jobs really wanted to stop the recent iPod crime wave phenomenon he’d just lower the price of iPods. 20GB for $300? Yikes. While much less cooler than an iPod, the 20GB Dell DJ is made of similar components and it’s usually sold at or around $150.
My X-ROM arrived over the weekend and it’s all kinds of wonderful. I upgraded from a first-generation battery-sucking 128M parallel port linker that was a little taller than an actual GBA cartridge, and this new energy-efficient USB-enabled 512M wonder has changed my portable gaming life for the better. PocketNES and Goomba were of course loaded…
