Computers are getting smarter all the time: scientists tell us that soon they will be able to talk to us. (By they I mean computers: I doubt scientists will ever be able to talk to us)

Ponderings For 2007-09-27

posted in Ponderings |
  • I upgraded this blog to the new 2.3 version of Wordpress. They’ve added official support for tagging in this version (there were a few plug-ins before, which I hadn’t been running). I’ve gone through all of the posts for September and added a bunch of tags. Don’t know how well they’ll work out for this site, but I thought I’d start playing with them. So, you’ll notice the funky new tag cloud on the left side of the site.
  • A couple more movie reviews are pending as well. If you ever wanna see what movies I’ve seen but haven’t gotten around to posting reviews for, just check my movie log page. It’s usually current (it is as of this post).
  • Sci-Fi has renewed Eureka for a third season.
  • Bionic Woman scores in the ratings for the pilot episode. Reaper also does well. Heck, even the unimpressive Cane does very well. BTW, I’ll have a post this weekend about these early days of the new TV season.
  • Transformers 2 has been greenlit by Paramount for 2009. I hold little hope that Michael Bay can get it right this second time, but I can dream, can’t I? You know, Bay should take on the job that Irwin Allen did on The Towering Inferno - “Action Scenes Directed By…”
  • Universal continues to mine their classic TV properties for remakes. First it was Battlestar & Bionic Woman, now it’s gonna be Knight Rider. If the excellent Doug Liman’s name wasn’t attached to this, I’d have serious doubts.
  • Speaking of remakes, Fox has slotted Christmas of next year for their intriguing remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still.
  • Microsoft has launched a new overhaul of their Live Search service. I haven’t really played with it enough to have any opinion.
  • Speaking of Microsoft Live service related things I haven’t played with much, FedEx has just integrated their Virtual Earth project.
