The trailer for X-Files: I Want To Believe made it to YouTube. From what I’ve read, it does not delve into the “mythology” of the show and is meant to be more of a stand-alone story. I guess that’s good and bad, so I’m not sure what to make of it yet…

Microsoft has released a very cool piece of free software called WorldWide Telescope that gives Google Earth (Google Sky is built into the latest version, well worth the update) a run for its money in many respects. Download the beta now!

Sorry, had to do it…

Check out the theatrical trailer for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. If you hadn’t heard of this yet, it’s an CGI feature-length that precedes a TV series and is set between the events of Attack Of The Clones and Revenge Of The Sith. Although it sounds intriguing, I’m not sure I like the CGI, as it just looks a little goofy to me…

Fail Dogs is an interesting counterpart to I Can Has Cheezburger?… 🙂

Things Younger Than John McCain isn’t the most sophisticated idea, but I think it’s funny. ;-p

This wasn’t exactly a secret, but it’s now been confirmed that Scrubs will move to ABC from NBC for season eight, supposedly its final season. This news is according to a MySpace bulletin by series star Zach Braff.

As much as I like the show, I think it Jumped The Shark some time ago, perhaps once Carla and Turk had their baby. For me, it’s definitely been relegated to TiVo catch-up during the summer versus watching it as soon as it airs…

Be patient and you will be rewarded when you watch the YouTube video Darth Vader Feels Blue. 🙂

The interface could be better, but Cover vs. Original is still a nice idea.

Remember the arcade game Mr. Do’s Castle? As much as I liked the original Mr. Do game, which I played incessantly on my ColecoVision, I enjoyed Mr. Do’s Castle even more. In particular, I remember playing the arcade version at The Supreme Court, a local athletic club where I played racquetball weekly. Mr. Do’s Wild Ride, the third game in the series, was fun too, but I don’t think I like it quite as much as the other two…
