New Look, Hopefully More Info

I'm going through the process of changing the look of the site. I am NOT going with the colors or shapes of the new design, but I like the skeleton, so I'll start tweaking the graphics very soon. Please, if you feel like it, leave comments on what you think I could/should add.

New Spider-Man Animated Series!

This is the trailer for the new Spectacular Spider-Man animated series that starts this fall.



The animation looks cool in the trailer. But with every one of these superhero cartoons, the animation is awesome the first year, and then the animators get lazy and it dies off in coolness. Keep your fingers crossed.

Movies, Games & Music

My mother and I saw 1408 last night. It was really good. It was very tense, and shot very claustrophobically. Most of the movie is just John Cusack in a hotel room. There's a little bit before to set up what's going on with the room, and an ending that I thought was a little weak.

Lots of good, jumpy moments. No unnecessary gore like the Saw or Hostel movies, just good nervous tension.

I'm looking forward to the Transformers next week. Even if it's not true to the source, I'm not SUPER familiar with the history anyway. I just liked the toys, so seeing giant robots will be cool.

As far as games go, right now I'm really into Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2. Chris and Sean and I go on various missions to ensure the safety of our country several nights a week. I'm also still swinging around New York in Spider-Man 3 a lot.

The Freedom Festival is this weekend. I have no idea why this thing is still in existence, and wonder how many taxpayer dollars are sunk into this thing. I'll think about it over a funnel cake, if it's not too hot.

Also, this song has been stuck in my head all day:

May Update

Okay, since my last post, Angie bought a new house. (Angie's my girlfriend. Until recently, I didn't know whether she'd dig being mentioned on here, but now I know...) It's very cool, with a finished basement, lots of character, a screened in back porch with a koi pond, and it's in a really pretty neighborhood.

We're getting ready to go on a COOL mini-vacation this weekend to Saint Louis. We're going to hit the zoo, museums and Six Flags.

Spider-Man 3 was EXCELLENT. I've said it before, but I'm fortunate that my childhood hero has been given such an excellent treatment in Hollywood, and not just some goofy throw-away movie like Ghost Rider or Daredevil.

More later...

Just a Post so March Has an Entry

I have NOTHING to say. I have done better with my MySpace page.

I got to catch up with my friend Neil, who was in town for a couple of days, introducing friends and family to his beautiful new wife.

I'm still playing Crackdown. And I'm really digging the new GTA4 trailer, and the new Spider-Man 3 trailer, too:



The new website the station's been working to launch is now up, complete with lots of quirky bugs to hunt.

There. My monthly post is complete. Now that the site launch is behind me, I can begin to work on my own site's new design... but don't hold your breath.

Games, Wheels and Podcasts

Until Spider-Man 3 comes out, I have my new favorite game to just jump in and kill some time. It's called Crackdown. Below is a little clip I found off of YouTube to give you a glimpse of the game.



I'm going to try to work harder at my MySpace page. I know it's supposed to be a wonderful tool for communication with people across the planet, but mainly what I'm seeing it used for is for hooking up and competing for who has the most tacky background music and animations.

I had some tires put on my sweet ride today, the two up-front. The right tire was mangled. I don't know how I got it to the shop.

Chris' ACTV podcast on some potential hidden features in the iPhone is doing really well, and hopefully serving to put ActionCorp back on the map.

ACTV Resurrected!

Man.. it's good to get back into doing the show. I forgot how fun it is to put these things together. Sean and I got to do a final video showcasing Blackbolt's MC360 skin for the Xbox Media Center program.

Here's a look at the show. Please feel free to give me feedback on what could be done to improve the show, or a topic you'd like ACTV to cover.
