Name That Passage!

It's been a while. I've updated a couple of things, and uploaded a new title image. Can anyone guess what passage it is?

How It Should Have Ended

Here are a couple of hilarious 'alternate ending' videos by the good people at howitshouldhaveended.com.


Superman: The Movie
In the world of Superman, some make him vulnerable to pain, and cause him to completes great feats with obvious strain. Some make him wildly powerful and (nearly) impenetrable. While the former makes for more interesting (and perhaps easier) story-telling, the latter is fun to watch now and again. Such as this clip:





Terminator/Back to the Future
Doc had no idea what he started...

Believe the hype: Windows 7 works

A couple of days ago, Jenn and I took advantage of a student deal with Microsoft Canada and snagged a couple of copies of Windows 7. Just the laptop has it running for now; our rather slower desktop is awaiting a gig of RAM before I upgrade it. So far I'm very pleased. With Windows 7, the laptop 'resumes' much faster than with Vista (now it fires up in under 5 seconds!), and the irritating security warnings that made Vista a headache are gone. It looks like Vista, but the filing system is nicer, and everything seems to run a little faster.

I'm looking forward to upgrading the desktop to see how the home network thing will work. If you're still contemplating the upgrade, it's worth the trouble. (The only downside so far is the work of having to reinstall all my programs and back up all my files. Vista Home Basic and XP don't upgrade cleanly, so you have to start from scratch.)

Fast Food Taco Song

This comic duo is quickly becoming one of my favourite internet stops. Enjoy this Fast Food Taco Song, especially with reference to the amazing server who actually remembers their whole order!
