I like Tron, he fights for the user!

Saw Tron today, I thought it was good. Some of the hand to hand fighting wasn't that great, but overall the movie was awesome! Lightcycle and Lightplane fighting was cool, and the continued story from the first was well written. Acting was good and the Clu vs Flynn theologies was interesting. I liked it!

Also: Jeff Bridges is The One.

Regular customers get all the good treatment.

My boss has been going to this place for years and gets the big glass of water. Psh, whatever...

Obama plugs TNT? This is morally disgusting.

I understand the President of the United States talking Sports, it's a good thing, brings him closer to the American people. But plugging TNT seems to edge in a territory the President should never move towards.

@FatCow has a new Control Panel and it is very nice.

FatCow.com is the hosting provider I use with Unlimited Bandwidth, Storage, Emails and Databases. It's pretty much the best thing ever.

@Aplus: Thanks for taking care of my account cancellation, but...

I have recently moved from Aplus.net to FatCow.com to host various websites. I use GoDaddy.com as my site registrar and FatCow.com to host each page. I find FatCow and GoDaddy to have the best site control features which are intuitive and easy to use and understand at a glance. Aplus.net has been my web registrar and host for many years and they offer a good service with good customer support but the reason why I moved over was for FatCow's unlimited storage and unlimited bandwidth for only $66 a year. Unlimited E-mail addresses and databases all while being 100% run by wind energy, how could I not move to FatCow?
I encourage all Hosting service providers to move to such a business model. In an effort to keep net neutrality on the up and up, we need to encourage the understanding that digital information is not a limited resource. The internet is not like water, we will never run out of bits to move through fibre and copper. The only thing people should have to pay for is speed, not amount. So I encourage all hosting providers to take a stand and start offering Unlimited hosting plans.
Again, thank you Aplus.net for the good service and being a great solution for me for years. It's been real and it's been fun, and at times it was even real fun.

@Mwave: Thank you for the great customer service!

Recently I made a post talking abou the poor state my keyboard was shipped in and posted it through Posterous. Mwave responded to this problem promptly by apologizing for the inconvenience and resulted to either give me a coupon for $10 bucks off my next order or refund my shipping costs. The even went so far to change the way they ship keyboards to prevent this from looking unprofessional again next time.
This is why I will continue to come back to Mwave. Not only do they have the best prices in technology but they have some great customer care. I will continue to speak the good name of Mwave and recommend friends and coworkers to look their first for tech purchases. Best every time. Thanks Mwave!

At least I want to see Heroes come back...

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2683435/heroes_volume_6_in_limbo_after_volume.html

The problem with Heroes right now is Peter does not have full use of his powers back. They fixed Hiro, now they need to fix Peter!

The who walked around the world. Johnnie Walker

The story of Johnny Walker whiskey told with props while walking down a path. I love this commercial for it's interesting creative simplicity, just a man walking and telling a story about a man who has been walking for 200 years. Now I want some Blue Label.

I woke up to some howling cats outside my house just now, I look to my friends in Philadelphia to get back to sleep...

I usually don't wake up for anything, but I know a mac who can sleep through way more cats than I can, Charley Kelly of Philadelphia:

My Posterous is Super Charged!

I have gone through every possible site Posterous uploads to and set up accounts on all of them. This is the best way to get your name out there for cheap.

I made this logo for Pacific Mountain Logistics. They told me they were making printing a sign, but it is crazy to see it actually up. Awesome!

Highlanders all around!

I drove to the Ontario airport in my highlander. I was picked up in my Grandmothers Highlander. Then dropped off at the Portland airport in my Aunt's highlander. It's in the family.

Was that an Earthquake or is my brother just weightlifting upstairs again?

So many Earthquakes and natural craziness recently, this whole 2012 thing is starting to come together. I am hoping for more of an Escape from LA situation.

Just finished #Crush_It_Book by @GaryVee from @audible_com. Incredible!

Thank you Gary Vaynerchuk for your inspiration to go out and Crush It! I have been working on a lot of different things over the last few months and I am putting myself in the Crush It mentality. I hate going to bed and I love to wake up and start the day all over again. What a great book, I am going to recommend this to all my motivated friends and keep "Killing the Game" myself. Keep up the great work Gary!

I love church calendar.

AMC doesn't allow outside food or drink, I now have zero desire to go to the movie theater.

I still bought a bunch of junk food at their consession stand, but now I don't see why I should go out to see a movie at all until it comes out on blu ray. This totally sucks!
