There has been a request to post this video here so it’s viewable by a wider audience. Let it never be said I’m not responsive to my public.

ECP’s first steps

Let’s face it: The kid owes me something for my having stayed home with him all this week while he gets over his feverish coughing sickness.

Vote Sharlto
February 2nd, 2010 · View Comments
If you haven't seen District 9 (I liked it better than The Hurt Locker), you're missing out on one of the best acting performances of the last couple years. The lead, Sharlto Copley, provides an incredibly plausible and forceful portrayal of a man turning into an insectoid alien. If there's an emotion he doesn't convey [...]

Man, I feel like a woman

Leah pointed out upon viewing this video in camera last night that I sound like her in it. Oh well. It is what it is. And now, for your viewing pleasure:

Free skate, everybody skates

Today we took Ava out for her first ice skating adventure. I was astounded by how well she did. This is toward the end of our outing, when she circled the rink twice with almost no help from me at all.

This video is fresh out of the camera today. I hope Emmett isn’t one of those kids who walks before he crawls. I hear they have all kinds of problems as a result.

Snow daze

Fresh snow trumps freezing temps. Either that, or Ava has some undiagnosed nerve damage that makes it impossible for her to feel cold. Oh well. So long as she’s having fun….

When all else fails

Make popcorn. This is how we always used to make popcorn when I was little, before air poppers and microwaveable bags. Ava and I popped some yesterday and then tucked in to watch Willy Wonka (Wilder Willy Wonka, not Depp Willy Wonka). Actually, Leah and Ava tucked in to watch the movie [...]

Vado, Mino. Vado, Mino. And the winner is….

The Creative Labs Vado HD.
Leah and I have been cogitating on this purchase for a while, but seeing Danny’s Mino last weekend brought us closer to action (well, that and all the contractions Leah’s been having recently). If you’re wondering, the better (IMO) specs of the Vado weren’t the only things pushing me in [...]

embark on a blog post if you don’t know what you’re going to write. That’s my advice to you, should you ever happen to find yourself with a blog.

They do this for hits

And to frustrate me.
FACT: Anybody who knows anything about anything knows that The Jerk is the best movie Steve Martin has ever done. Second place? PT&A.
The only reason anyone would EVER put The Jerk at #9 on a list of Steve’s 10 Best Films is to generate controversy, thus conversation, thus Web [...]

Forget the overpriced tickets, the expensive snacks, the lines, and the whole “going outside” thing. Here’s the best reason to avoid the movie theater. (Don’t pretend you don’t have a second of empathy for the shooter.)
Well, 29-year-old James Joseph Cialella Jr went to see David Fincher’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button at [...]

Rest in peace, Paul. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Hustler, Cool Hand Luke…Slap Shot. Sheesh. What a body of work.

I was originally thinking that there would be maybe two readers here who would have any interest in reading about the trials and tribulations of my home theater/Apple TV setup, but then — as I thought more — I figured, what could it hurt? Don’t click through unless you know what a TOSlink cable [...]

The reviews are pouring in, and they’re love songs. Looks like I’m going to have to wait for this one to come out on DVD, which is fine with me. The more I go to movies, the more I’m reminded why I don’t go to movies. Seems the odds are anymore that [...]

I think the term is “nerdgasm”

Sometimes I see something on the Wonderful Wide Web (frequently on BoingBoing) that pushes a magical button way, way deep down inside my being. Here’s the most recent cause for delight:
A “one-of-a-kind” Lego replica of Syd Mead’s Spinner flying car from the movie Blade Runner. Oh. Man. How Lego doesn’t [...]

Well, the week’s ending as it started. Thank goodness it was a short one.
RIP, Harvey. If you never saw him in anything but Blazing Saddles, you still saw more comedic talent than you can find in any film made in the last 10 years. Gosh, this guy was good.
