I just finished "The Unincorporated Man" - it's an okay read. Simple in style and heavy on exposition - lots of monologues just like in Inception! :P   Now I'm starting Peter F. Hamilton's Evolutionary Void - 3rd book in the trilogy that just came out. A huge sprawling space opera that is...

I finished reading the Takeshi Kovacs "trilogy" (Altered Carbon, Broken Angels, Woken Furies) by Richard Morgan. Kind of like film-noir SF. Not bad! The science wasn't the best but the writing is pretty gnarly and entertaining! Now I'm reading "The Incorporated Man" - another SF novel, where...

Heh yeah I think I saw a familiar name, but with "Owner" next to it. :)

Quote: Jack, same reason for me - well sort of - I went to that "other" forum to 'fight' the future there! But another reason why my postings dropped to a trickle here was that I spent a huge amount of time on my HTPC and writing thousands of posts on HTPC setup and technical...

Let's hope this version is at least as good as the Sky-HD h264 1080p broadcast from last year. Even if the video isn't as good, the audio should be stellar!

Wow that's a big budget. Consider using black velvet cloth around the walls and ceiling to limit light reflections from the screen?

Peter F. Hamilton's The Temporal Void. Pretty good continuation of the Commonwealth series. Charlaine Harris' Dead Before Dark (Sookie Stackhouse). Not very exciting, but I do hope to catch the True Blood TV series soon.

That princess in DragonSlayer was pretty hot! But I wonder - the baby dragon feeding might have pointed me towards cannibalistic hentai in my later years! It warped my little mind.

Sam: Yes, I have the same "issue" with audio - it is VERY quiet. I have to turn up the audio +10 db over the usual listening volume. It can be quite a shock when you go to the main menu after an episode finishes playing!

New ways of organizing DVDs? For me, more like, thinking of how to get rid of our DVDs.

Hand puppet ending? That'd be awesome! What, you haven't drunk the Blu kool-aid? OMG Steve! Get your catwoman to punish you! Or am I confusing you with someone else? Hmmm. It's been a while... Oh and I like the Wallace and Gromit tie-in... you should be a Warner exec!

Maybe Warner delayed the Contact Blu-ray so they could work on the epic battle with F18s taking on giant alien motherships! Either that, or Warner is working extra hard on their new DNR encoders to make Contact look like a claymation movie!

I feel dirty watching that video!

Gonna go to the Comic Expo thingy (is that what it is called?) in Calgary this weekend - maybe I'll have a chance to see kaylee and helo!
