Hey everybody. Hope you're all enjoying the challenge. I've been ever so crazy, as always turns out in October. But this year has lifted to new heights of insanity. Just moved into my new apartment over the weekend and worked my tail off getting it ready for my son to come up for the first time...

Michael - that doc sounds fantastic. I'm in NYC, so I'll have to see where it's playing. I'm sure it's gotta be here somewhere. I didn't even know about it. Thanks for mentioning it.

Started off my challenge with a pair of episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and one episode of The Twilight Zone. I've never watched Buffy before and just began last month. I started season 4 today. Im loving the series. Started off a bit slow for me, but the characters and dialogue are simply...

Michael - thanks for letting us know about V/H/S being on HD Net Movies next week. Looking forward to checking it out. Also - love that your child is enjoying Scooby so much. My son's favorite movie from the time he was 1.5-3 was Nightmare Before X-Mas. He also loved Corpse Bride. I feel like...

Hey John - I didn't see my name on your list in the opening post of the thread. I'll be doing the challenge up til the 28th, after which I'm away. Hoping to get to the 31 again this year, but we'll see. My placeholder is on the first page and that's where I'll be updating my list, obviously. I...

Movies 1. Trick or Treat 2. Ghostbusters 3. Shaun of the Dead 4. Young Frankenstein 5. Evil Dead II (bluray audio commentary) 6. Ghostbusters (audio commentary) 7. The Nightmare Before Christmas Television Episodes 1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer S4, Ep1 Buffy the Vampire Slayer S4...

Movies 3. The Shiver of the Vampire - Another Jean Rollin. Gotta say I love this guy's style and vibe. Cheesy effects on a shoe string budget, but there is an excellent use of location. Lots of fine looking gals. Fun, funny side characters. Definitely worth a view, and on Netflix Instant. 4. The...

Hey Guys! Late to the party here. This year is going to be very tough for me. I have a huge road trip that I'm going on. Leaving Sunday. So I won't be able to watch much of anything. Though I'm passing through LA, so I'm hoping to catch a few classic horror flicks on the big screen. We'll see...

I'm sold on the wood cover. So sweet! great design. Gorgeous. Very impressive. Of course I'm gonna have to wait until my Smart Cover blows up or something. Who wants to see if they can eat it so I can convince my wife for the need of shelling out another $69? Seriously we could do a Smart Cover...

I honestly don't think there's any chance of another iPad release until next year. There simply isn't a need or reason. iPad 2 will sell like mad during the holiday season, and then in March 2012 we'll see what the iPad 3 has in store for us. As Ron mentioned, iPad 2 wasn't a big enough upgrade...

I ended up upgrading from the 32 to the 64. I spoke with the manager of my local Apple store and she did me a real solid - she emailed me when they got more stock in and put one aside for me! So sweet. The 32 just wasn't enough space for me. And to answer the question about NYC stores getting...

Thanks guys. Given this information, I'm going to stick with the Targus and just get used to it. I'm sure it's more a matter of not being used to sketching on a touch screen, than a deficiency with the stylus. Of course, I'm also going to have to get used to the name, Targus. I keep wanting to...

Dave - have you used the Targus or the Pogo? I've tried both. Like the Targus WAY better. But I'm still curious if the boxwave has better overall control - in other words, when I'm sketching, I want to be able to do very fine detail and with the Pogo it's impossible and the Targus, while better...

I'll add that while the still pictures from the iPad2 are crap, the video is gorgeous if lit properly. I shot some footage yesterday and today outdoors and it came out stunning. Nelson - thanks for the stylus thread. Still not sure where I'm going to get my hands on a box wave, but I'll be...

Thanks guys. I think the best thing for me to do is to try both the targus and boxwave and see what works better for me. Best buy doesn't carry the box wave and neither does the apple store, so I'll try pc Richards and sons tomorrow. I'll let you know which I prefer when I get to try them for a...
