I never saw the movie when it first came out so everything was new for me. The IMAX screen was big, maybe twice as tall as an ordinary theater screen and the seats were set on a really angled slope so as to give all the viewers a good chance to see a hundred percent of it. The 3D effects were awesome; the stuff that roll, fly, move towards you really look as if they are going to hit you.
Beowulf as a movie was worth watching. Beowulf in 3D was awesome.

Ultimate Keyboard
We were talking about emacs when I had this curious idea. Why not create a keyboard that instead of generating signals based on what keys were pressed, generates signals based on the depth of the button pressed? Randell was quick to suggest speed of typing as another basis.

Jeepney Accident
I was driving from Los Banos this morning on my way to work when I saw this. Two jeepneys look to be in a serious accident. The second is obscured behind the first; I couldn't get another shot off my camera because the police were urging me to go faster. The second jeep's rear chassis was kinda ripped out.
MoA Marching Band
Mall of Asia's marching band. Happened upon them when I exited Fully Booked. Saw "In The Name Of The King" afterward. The fight scenes rocked. The story was meh. The directing was awful. How the hell did Uwe Boll get the job?

13 things that do not make sense
I am fascinated by scientific mumbo jumbo. I love logic and reasoning and then finding stuff that contradict them. Here are thirteen contradictions presented by NewScientist.
From bash.org
CDSBIGSBY: at work, on the like, 'keyboard' for the cash registers, there are two buttons that don't do anything
CDSBIGSBY: and it's like, the button, a little slip of paper that says what the button does, and a plastic cover that holds the paper in
CDSBIGSBY: and this dude at work figured that out, 'cause he popped the plastic cover off
CDSBIGSBY: and so we made labels for the two 'empty' buttons on the registers we were on that day
CDSBIGSBY: he didn't utilize the full potential of the opportunity though, as one of his buttons is a happy face and the other a sad face
CDSBIGSBY: but i feel i did mine justice.
CDSBIGSBY: Lane 14 at Meijer's has a Self-Destruct button and a Bat Signal button.
