Orson Scott Card and Serenity

woah ho.. Orson Scott Card says this about Serenity-

“And I’ll tell you this right now: If Ender’s Game can’t be this kind of movie, and this good a movie, then I want it never to be made.

Now that’s a quote that will probably put some butts in the seats. Read everything Card says about Serenity at his site. See Serenity.

This is a geeky bookmark post for geeks and sys admins. Check out these two open source projects. Magnolia is a j2ee-based CMS product. The humano2 project is even more interesting. It’s a business app framework which seems very interesting. I like building things without major programming and it looks like humano might make that possible.

i’m a lemon bar

You are what you eat, so the saying goes. So tonight, I’m a lemon bar! We were at Frito Misto in Santa Monica for dinner. When the waiter asked if we wanted dessert, we said no thank you. But we said something about how good we’d heard they were, and the waiter agreed, told us we should try them some because they’re homemade. Lo and behold, instead of coming back with our check, he came back with a lemon bar and fresh whipped cream. Oh my!
