I meant what I said.

Time...

Is still not on my side, but I am making a real effort to blog. Of course, I don't want it to go to your head that I'm doing this just for you. I do this for me, because after a while, I've had so much information built up I feel like I might explode. Trust me, this is better than running around telling people about the new game, or the big movie blockbuster. So, read on.... I'm going to type it anyway.


Heroes

Amazing! Well, not quite as great as I'd been hoping, but I'm pretty happy so far. I'm glad that we haven't caught up with Nikki yet. I'm mildly entertained by Hiro's story, but I'm upset that his father died without us seeing what his power was. Of course, we know it's not flight or regeneration, which is good since they felt the need to reuse those powers already...

Alright, so maybe I'm a bit salty from the fact that they've already run out of powers. That seems so asinine. I understand that they might need Claire's new boyfriend to fly so he can spy on her, but it seems like they could have done something a bit more interesting, and Hiro's hero can regenerate, really? That's just sad. The writers can't possibly have plumbed the depths of their creativity, can they? I can only assume they are trying to show that each power is not entirely unique, that there is likely to be multiple people all around the world that can do new things. I hope that's their plan.

Either way, Peter's amnesia seems like a bit of a cop-out, but I'll take it, thought only because of the adorable Irish accents. I'm confused by Parkman's new found ability to not remember everything that's happened over the last season, although I could be wrong about that.

The Suresh / HRG taking down 'The Company' scheme is a bit odd. Why do I say that? Because 'The Compay' seems to be stupid now, how could that be? The last season we were led to believe that 'The Company' was nearly omnipotent, and suddenly they don't remember the Haitian that was so near and dear to HRG? They send Suresh to help the guy who supposedly kidnapped Claire in the last season and shot HRG. So, it's no hard feelings? If the company can know the Haitian was sick, then they should be a bit more on top of things.

Oh well. I was very happy with the last season, and so far I'm pleased with this season, I'm holding out hope that they get things rolling a bit more in the next couple weeks.


Look what my Girlfriend found!

Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane! I'm so excited about this movie, I can't even express it in a healthy way. Zombies on a Plane! ZoaP! The only thing that could be better than Snakes on a Plane!


New Zune

Yep, it seems that there's actually going to be new Zunes released as the article seems to confirm the rumors. This one seems to have been kept pretty quiet, unlike the original Zune. Of course, I think it's because Apple just dropped their new Nano and iPod Touch. I got a chance to hold the new Nano the other day, and it is pretty fucking impressive, and now that I've discovered the iPod Touch has all the features of the iPhone without the actual phone (that is WiFi + Music + Video = Neat), I'm actually interested in getting one, if only it wasn't solid state memory, or at least solid state flash memory that supported my entire library.

Either way, there are new Zunes coming, and by the looks of things, they're still not that impressive. (Note, I'm still a very happy Zune owner, and I've had zero problems with mine). It appears that there will be new HDD units as well as flash based models with this release.

Maybe a few more people will 'join the social' as it were.

(Note: There's more 'confirmation' that there will be a big firmware update to give the old zunes a bit more life.

30 Year Laptop Battery

Holy hell! That's really all I can say. A laptop battery that will last 30 years. I've been a little picky about my 2.5-3.5 hours I get on this machine, but I never imagined that kind of leap. Best of all, it's all green, that is, environmentally friendly. They're called 'betavoltaic cells', but really, you should just check out the article.

Of course, I for one will take the whole thing with a grain of salt. As a whole, I find that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. But, if we can all be running around with affordable radioactive laptops, so be it.


And with that...

I'm off to finish watching Jay Leno reading the headlines... good times.

Good night internet!
