View From the Bushes

I'm late in getting to my blog, so it's going to be short. I'm going to put the Star Wars debate on hold until Netflix sends me the Clone Wars DVD with all the 3 minute shorts which appeared on Cartoon network. Though I will say that the idea of a live-action Star Wars TV show both excites and appalls me. I think today's Penny Arcade comic illustrates my concerns. The key problem, I suppose, is that you just can't have anywhere near the same special affects in a TV show that you can in a movie. The preceding is an example of paralipsis, not a great one mind you, but you've got to take whatever opening you can get in using a word like that.

Turning from an example of erudition to idiocy, Slashdot had a link to a very stupid hacker. Just in case you miss this key element of the story, the IP address 127.0.0.1 always refers to the computer you're on: it's sort of like saying "me." Well, that's all I have time for. Tune in tomorrow, when I'll be discussing the endangered northern hairy-nosed wombat.
