• 'Avalon': mortal reality hits a "fave list"

  The Ishii-Itô teamwork so stunned me on first viewing of a bleak sci-fi allegory, it was hard to say whether 'Avalon' was virtuoso nonsense or a subtle masterpiece. This time, I've made up my mind.

• Commando (1987) starring Arnold Schwarzenegger re-edited

  This rendition of the 1987 classic is only 24 minutes long, and has a completely differerent context, one in which John Matrix (Arnold) is no longer the main character. Without him though, the battle must continue, and the fight to eradicate the evil dictator-to-be must go on.

  Beyond any ultimate meaning of the movie, or ideas about Robin Williams, this movie should be seen by anyone who has any interest in the art of movies. Outstanding craft.

• Mimail Virus inflicts Windows

  I was sent the virus. Somehow it slipped through my ISP's anti-virus. I got it, opened it, and looked at it, and used the power of OS X to destroy it. I did keep a copy of it to send to someone who might write me nasty comments to my more political mided posts.

• Better than Wi-Fi?

  Even in cities with reputations for good Wi-Fi access, such as Portland and Seattle, finding available sites can be tricky.

• How can Microsoft get away with this?

  I can understand having a differnet format from other stanards used by Palm Desktop, Mac Mail, or Eudora. It helps ensure you stay on their platform. But to have different formats and importing and exporting capabilities between Microsoft formats is stupid.

  Somewhere in the middle of all this she kissed him. It lasted a long time. The inside of her mouth was warm and wet. She tasted of beer and strawberry bubble gum.
