• Go, Amazon, Go…
• Huge congratulations go out to Juno for passing the $100 million mark (well, worldwide, but so little of that is foreign that it’ll roll past the domestic $100 million mark any day now). That’s a big achievement for a low-budget, indie-style movie to pull off. On top of their 4 major Oscar nominations, the folks involved in that film (my favorite of 2007) are surely giddy. The tenacity that it’s shown at the box office is impressive.
• An amusing approach to the insanity of cellular hardware manufacturers and their immediate disinterest in any hardware they’ve already produced, in immediate favor of whatever their next model is. I’ve got an AT&T 8525 (a re-branded HTC Hermes) which has served me well, but the lukewarm support for the device is a surprisingly altruistic situation for an industry that I’ve seen abandon models before most consumers have even got their grubby little paws on ‘em.
• I’m sure I’ve mentioned the site before, but InterfaceLIFT.com is my most highly recommended source for fantastic photographic (primarily) wallpapers. Particularly high-res, widescreen ones. It’s intended as a MAC-centric site, but their archive of material is great for any of us high-res, widescreen monitor fans. Such is the case with this most recent example of a cool photo.
• For those interested in Microsoft certification, they have extended their free “second shot” promotion until the end of June.
• This is old news by now, but the title to the new Bond film is one of their truly stranger choices: Quantum Of Solace.
• Also slightly old news by this point, but very, very cool, is the fact that Disney/PIXAR is releasing the Toy Story films in new 3D transfers.
• Another great Dilbert Blog entry. This time, resulting in a surprisingly good song.
• Speaking of Dilbert, you may have noticed (unless you view my posts via RSS) that I added the flash-based, official Dilbert strip digest widget to the side of the site. Not sure if I’ll keep it. Thought it was cool and figured I’d give it a run. Cool that the archive is to feature the strips in color, no less.
• Geek lust: Canon Rebel XSi
