Across the Universe

The Beatles inspired musical Across the Universe seems to have split the critics between love and hate. One scene you won’t find them discussing takes place within the first 20 minutes of the nearly 3 hour film. It’s my brother Mark’s second time on the big screen, this time in a significantly smaller role credited simply as “football player”. With no lines and less than thirty seconds of camera time, I’m amazed I managed to snap a photo at just the right moment.

“While files from the internet can be useful, this file type can potentially harm your computer…”

Oh - the irony!

Oink No More

So now that Oink is gone and the record industry got back those 180,000 people, will we see sales increase over the next couple of weeks? I’m personally all for the argument that downloading music increases the chances of me making a purchase in the future.

California is Burning

Here’s a map of one of the several fires that are burning in CA. Our apartment is the green thumbtack. It looks like the firemen are doing a good job of keeping it out of the populated areas.
