Nice weblog with fun info about OSX.

This weblog is run in [[Radio]], one of the inspirations for my own Vanila software. Maybe someday I’ll catch up with the folks at [[Userland]], but it’ll take a while.

How did Peter Jackson manage to bring [[The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring]] to the screen in such a way as to please both devotees and virgins?

This article attempts to explain it, but it does even more. It explains how miraculous the accomplishment really is.

After being nominated for 12 categories, FOTR won ten of them.

###Namely:

• Best Picture
• Best Director
• Best Acting Ensemble
• Best Adapted Screenplay
• Best Cinematography
• Best Production Design
• Best Costume Design
• Best Visual Effects
• Best Song (May it Be)
• Best Original Score

Keep an eye on [Oscar Watch](http://www.oscarwatch.com) for up to date news about the Oscar race.

The Empire Awards is kinda like The Golden Globes in the UK.

Fellowship won the following:

• **Best Film**
• **Best Debut** – Orlando Bloom
• **Best Actor** – Elijah Wood

I could use one of these to wipe up some spilt beer!

Kneel down, play it safe, go to overtime? Are you crazy, John Madden? Haven’t you been paying attention to the voodoo that they do so well?

Maybe with some other team (not the fortune-kissed New England Patriots),

boasting some lesser kicker (not Adam Vinatieri), playing against some other offense

(not the St. Louis Rams’), in some saner NFL universe where 14-point underdogs

do not dominate the Big Game.

But when Madden declared from the outset of the Patriots’ final possession of Super

Bowl XXXVI on Sunday that they would surely run out the clock and settle for

overtime, you knew he was wrong. This was neither the time nor the team for meek

acceptance.

All right, so those of us who predicted the St. Louis Rams
would win the Super Bowl by 100 points were wrong. Hey, we weren’t alone…
Before kickoff, the only people who truly expected the New England Patriots to win
were their coaches, relatives, friends, and perhaps the ghost of Paul Revere’s
offensive coordinator.

Since MGM has a problem with *Goldmember*, I thought we could give Mike Meyers a hand with a different title.

##MGM Sucks!

Can you believe the stupidity of the MGM position? The Austin Powers movies give Bond free publicity. Let’s face it, it’s been quite a few years since they’ve cranked out a reasonable Bond movie and the franchise is teetering on irrelevance. Anything that actually draws attention to the franchise can only be a good thing. Wake up MGM!

I still can’t believe it!

Stay tuned here for some pictures from my superbowl party and some thoughts on the game.
