Batman Craze

Why so serious?

Why so serious?


I went to see he midnight showing of the latest Batman film, The Dark Knight. Remarkably, the film far surpassed the hype the marketing team built around the film. I left the theatre throughly impressed and the general response seems unanimous in the film’s favor. The Nolan brothers certainly have their work cut out for them for the next Batman film, but even if it doesn’t turn out as phenomenal as Dark Knight, they still deserve huge props for bringing critical legitimacy to comic book adaptations. One of the highlights of seeing the film at midnight was seeing people dress up.
It’ll be interesting to see if The Dark Knight can retain it’s 9.7 rating and current #1 spot on IMDB’s top 250 movies of all time. Any bets on the next Batman villain?

One of the few things I dislike about Apple

Today, I was chatting with an Apple Rep with a few questions as I am looking to up the RAM in my MacBook Pro to 4 GB. She directed me to this page.

Crazy expensive apple memory.

Crazy expensive apple memory.


As much as I love Apple products, this does not help their image of being overly expensive. Apple in fact isn’t nearly as expensive as people thin and in fact in many cases even better priced than other manufacturers’ similarly configured machines. RAM hasn’t cost $200 for a long time now. So the bottom line is that I’m still looking for some cheap PC2-5300 RAM. Anyone know some good deals?

iPhone 3G Launch Day

e-Antiques

While cleaning my room last week, I happened upon this interesting little gizmo. No it wasn’t a flux capacitor or a time machine. I had in fact found my first MP3 player dating back to the KaZaA era. By today’s standards, the specifications are laughable (128MB internal capacity expandable to 256MB with additional SmartMedia card), but also a testament to how dramatically Apple’s iPod changed the digital music scene. This is especially true considering I purchased this generic brand (who’s ever heard of IM Sports outside of high school?) player over a Sony Mini-Disc player. I’m glad I followed my avoid-Sony policy as Mini-Disc joined the ranks of Betamax, and ATRAC amongst other defunct formats.
