EARTHQUAKE...again! Jan 8, 09, 7:51 p.m.

another earthquake in the LA area, anyone else feel that?

snowboarding injury...again Jan 8, 09, 6:53 p.m.

fock. so about a year and a half ago I broke my back and pelvis in a snowboarding accident (I was under a different username then, here is that post: http://www.qbn.com/topics/432096… )
so I'm finally feeling rehabbed enough to go again, and what happens? I tear my freaking calf muscle in my left leg. Separated the muscle and caused a huge hematoma that had to be drained because my calf got the size of a cantaloupe. Fucking scary and bloody awful painful. I think its time to retire from the sport I used to live and breathe and has brought me so much joy in my life.

The Spirit Dec 26, 08, 11:22 p.m.

Saw it last night, was just ok. I thought Sin City was bloody fucking (pun fully intended) amazing. Whereas, The Spirit seemed a distant 2nd place. Also, it was a PG13 vs a very hard R for SinCity or 300. Miller just isnt meant to make to make movies for kids.
Eva Mendes MADE this movie. So So great and so so beautiful. Samuel L and Scarlett were also very good, but the rest were a bit of a snoozer.
The story itself never really materialized, particularly for someone who never followed the graph novels.
I dunno, maybe Im just a crotchety old man and a hard sell, but I just thought this tried really hard to bite the cinematic style of Sin City, but hardly compared. Had Sin City never been made, maybe this would have been more impressive, but the it just set such a high standard, The Spirit couldn't really compare.

Cool Nerds Dec 23, 08, 11:48 a.m.

Stupid question, but can anyone help me think of someone considered to be a "cool nerd". Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Anderson Cooper, Andy Warholl, Albert Einstein etc?

Chrome vs Firefox Dec 23, 08, 12:50 a.m.

So now that google's Chrome has been out a few months, has anyone decided that this browser is for them? Better than Firefox?
I downloaded it, I suppose just to have, never with the real intention of using it day to day, just like safari.
I still far and away prefer firefox on the mac, anyone else? I just love my firefox plugins, I never see an ad or banner thanks to Ad Block Plus and also, thank you so much to Neverblink, I can even filter out the douchedrinkers who troll this site: http://www.qbn.com/topics/573603… get it!

Anyhow, anyone prefer Chrome?
