Enter Sandman, Venom is coming, and your friendly neighberhood Spiderman

Spider-Man 3

So I had heard rumors that Venom may make it into the newest addition to the Spiderman movie franchise and now I know it's official (albeit I may be behind the curve here, but there is so much other stuff going on to stay on top of the early news about a movie that is still almost a year away). Check out the teaser trailer if you haven't yet, it made me want to go see this movie.

Topher Grace is going to be in this one. I know what your thinking (because I thought it too). How can they put another scrawny geeky actor in this franchise, isn't Macguire enough? But from what I've seen ol' Tophy has bulked up a bit for this role (maybe even had a little facial reconstruction if that turns you on.... er, uh, we won't go there) so you may not eve recognize him in the trailer.

Definitely on my theatre hit-list for next year.

Until next time

Watch out Paypal, this ain't no beta

Google Checkout checks in: "unlike most new Google products, it is not a beta test version. 'No. For once, we are not releasing a beta product,' said Salar Kamangar, vice president of product management at Google."

More web wizardry from Google. Not a beta? They've been testing on a small group and say it's ready to go. One step at a time Google continues to make the World Wide Web a smaller place...

Until next time

In my opinion...

• Led Zeppelin will always be better than Elvis
• the Spaghetti Westerns (Dollars Trilogy) will always be the greatest westerns
• Java and C# could be considered the same language (syntax, structure)
• the internet will not make the world a better place to live
• the Zelda franchise is superior to any other gaming franchise
• most people take things way too seriously
• the internet will not make the world a bad place to live
• (waxing philosophical) the hardest life-concept to understand at times is that life is never too long and life is never too short.
• Some greenery in my cube would be nice
• programming is fun (most of the time)
• video games are way too addicting
• there's never enough time in a busy day
• slow days are way too long
• this list is mostly useless
  

Until next time
