Given the upcoming holiday there probably won't be much for the next few days either. But I wanted to quickly throw a few things out there in Sci-Fi and Entertainment news. Hobbit films (report stolen from Slice of Sci-Fi): Director Guillermo del Toro told reporters ... http://www.caddicks.com/blog/2008/07/02/quick-notes-on-entertainment-news/ There really isn't much I can say about this... it's one of those painful things that happens at sci-fi conventions. But you gotta see the third act. Sometimes I miss going to conventions.... other times, not so much. http://www.caddicks.com/blog/2008/06/24/vader-is-thrilling/ The New York Times reported last week that Abdul Qadeer Khan may have sold plans for a nuclear weapon: American and international investigators say that they have found the electronic blueprints for an advanced nuclear weapon on computers that belonged to the nuclear smuggling network run by Abdul Qadeer Khan, the ... http://www.caddicks.com/blog/2008/06/23/khan-set-us-up-the-bomb/ I read somewhere recently that comic books do superhero fights better than movies because things happen too fast in the movies.

Yesterday I was editing a recording I ... http://www.caddicks.com/blog/2008/06/19/fixing-published-audio-problems-in-captivate-2/ For all you dad's out there, and mine specifically, Happy Father's Day. Thanks for all you've taught us, thanks for all the fun we've had. Thanks for the trips to the parks, the encouragement, and the discipline. And most of all, thanks for not killing us when we put a hole ... http://www.caddicks.com/blog/2008/06/15/happy-fathers-day/ Lee has his weekly Top 5 list up over at Quit Your Day Job. This time it's the "Five songs that have left their footprint in my life." That's a tough list to come up with. I'm glad he didn't say 5 favorite songs, though - that would have been ... http://www.caddicks.com/blog/2008/06/08/five-songs-that-altered-my-perceptions/ Cheap trick. No, not the band. Seems like Deanna has the same sense of humor as Brother Cavel. But... we get another week of voting in, and everybody's back in play! Pick your pony!
