RBrowser

A friend asked me a couple of days ago what I thought was the best stand alone FTP client for the Mac. I quickly told him Fetch because that’s what I’ve been using for the last 6 years, but after using RBrowser for the last couple of days, I’ve completely changed my mind.

CTSv

What do you get when you mix the refinement of a Cadillac sedan with a good old pushrod V8 powerplant? One damn sexy car that’s going to attempt to knock the mighty M5 off its pedestal. I don’t think it will match the BMW’s quality and performance, but then again, you aren’t going to pay $75k (plus markup) for the CTSv. What do ya think?

Thoughts From The Bowl: 2003-01-21

The Golden Globe awards happened already? How come no one told me about it. After looking through the winners, I’m too happy to see The Shield and Michael Chiklis win for best tv series drama and best actor in a tv series drama. It’s by far the best show on television right now. I’m also upset to see Taken not win for best tv mini-series. Release the DVD’s for that quickly.

2nd Chance for the 'Rings'

I’m going back to watch the first Lord of the Rings movie tonight. I was one of these few people that didn’t know anything about the story (yes, the only self-proclaimed geek that hasn’t read the books), so when I went to see The Fellowship of the Ring about a year ago, I thought I went in with a pretty open mind. Well, it turns out I really couldn’t stand the thing. The story was good, but I couldn’t get past the (what I thought was) terrible post production in it. Most of the visual effects looked comparable to current Star Trek episodes and that’s just not gonna cut it for me in a movie of this scale. Anyway, my friend let me borrow his special edition DVD and I’m gonna put it in right now. The only reason I’m doing this is because I saw The Two Towers a couple of weeks ago and that was a much better movie.

SimCity 4

One of the very first games I additively played on a PC was SimCity in full black and white. With the release and purchase of SimCity 4 this week, I feel like I’m reliving some of my elementary school years. This is a great game.

Mini Z

So I’m not buying the real thing just yet. Might as well get something that will hold me over for a little while. Click on the images for a larger view.
