Great picture

CNET News posted a photo archive titled "In the Shadow of Star Wars" of various Star Wars related memorabilia found at the Industrial Light and Magic company headquarters. The Jar-Jar Binks in carbonite is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.

2nd Job? Or 1st Job?

It seems like the virtual economy just won't go away. CNNMoney is reporting that job opportunities and interviews are growing rapidly within 2nd Life. As more and more money is changing hands within the game, jobs are becoming more numerous and people are investing more and more time into developing their virtual businesses.

Pandora Quick Mix

I've decided that I really like Pandora to discover new music. I built a little Quick Mix based on Jim Brickman, Jim Schmidt, and Lorie Line as my favorite artists. If you like new age piano music this is a great mix to start exploring new artists and songs.

The case for Wii fitness

A blogger recently performed an experiment to see if the Nintendo Wii could really deliver on the claim of better fitness by playing video games. Bottom line results seem to indicate that his 30-minutes a day made a difference as he lost 9 lbs. and 2.5" from his waist in 6 weeks.

This looks like a fun way to exercise. Of course, any decent diet and exercise program must include the disclaimer "actual results may vary".

HD vs. DVD

Great site to do a comparison of HD vs. DVD. The mouseover technique helps you see the difference in a fairly clear manner. The very first shot of the map is probably the most telling. Try to read the words and then mouseover. Pretty convincing! Now if only the price would drop a bit more on those HDTVs.
