Reloaded Review…

If you have a chance to see Matrix Reloaded on a huge IMAX screen, I highly recommend doing it. The sound was incredible, the movie was huge, it was all I expected and more. Most excellent!

I’ve discovered something rather interesting this past week. As I’ve been more of a social butterfly than normal, it seems I have nothing to say once I go to post here. I’ll think of things that I want to write about, but by the time I have a chance to stop and write, the words don’t come. It seems to be the introvert side of me revolting due to the extrovert side of me taking over in real life. Interesting, if you ask me.

Obscuration. That is my new word of the week, thanks to The Original Blurker. No formal meaning yet, I just like the concept of obscuration.

Matrix Monday!

Know what today is? It’s Matrix Monday! Why? Because at 7:05pm CST today, I will be sitting at the Edwards Marq*E Cinema here in Houston, enjoying The Matrix Reloaded on the IMAX Screen. 8 stories tall. Whoa… Party on, dude!

(Oh, come on, admit it. You think that every time you see Keanu Reeves too.)

Hot Date…

Kathy headed up north tonight and we went out for dinner and then over to see “Finding Nemo”. I don’t think I’ve been to a “kid’s movie” without Jason since he was born. It was really cute – I’m glad I went to see it. I’m even more glad that I got to spend the evening with Kathy! What a blast – she’s a great date!

Kathy and I first met back in 2001 or so, when she ran the Bayou Burb, a group for Houston bloggers. It took us until summer, 2002 to meet in person finally – and I’m so glad we did. If you live in an area with other bloggers, go out and meet them. It adds a whole new dimension to blogging, and it is so worth it. Sometimes you should walk away from the keyboard, get out, and meet the people behind the monitors! You won’t regret it!

Maybe It’s Just Me…

Maybe it’s just me, but I think that Dave Winer needs to read Natalie’s post from earlier this week. Then Dave needs to get a grip on reality.

I’ve had a blog in one form or another since 1999. I started writing regularly in 2000. I have never read Scripting News on a steady basis. I only recently started reading it to learn more about RSS. Dave tosses out there that the RSS feeds generated by MT are funky – but won’t say what is wrong. Whatever. Does he not realize that to probably 98% of all bloggers out there it’s just noise? We don’t care. We blog, we share, we enjoy it all. If my RSS validates, which it does, then it is alright with me.

If you want to know the honest truth – I probably don’t read the blogs you think I read. There is a lot of noise out there, and I’ve learned to filter a lot out. There are some things I just don’t need in my life. It’s interesting to me when I notice.

Sorry Dave, but I won’t miss you. I appreciate the part you played in creating RSS, and it has become a daily part of my life. But if you go, someone else will take your place, someone else will fill your role. We’re all giving to the blog community in one form or another, but the blog community will not grind to a screeching halt if any of us leave.
