One of my favorite things....

XKCD webcomic

Especially today's.

It talks about science and math and many things geek. I heart it with all my heart. Okay, not all. But there's a good portion of the webcomic section that xkcd overtakes.

If you haven't read this webcomic, and you like jokes about physics and geekdom, then you should read it. Now. I'll wait. Go on. I'll just finish reading A Brief History of Time while you do that. Don't worry about me.

Teaser...

Later today I hope to discuss the iDon't, Droid Does commercial, the responses and the Droid phone itself.

Stay tuned, folks!

Maple Leaf Cafe

I hope to visit the above on my next trip up to Trader Joe's in Ann Arbor, MI. I realize they're not in the same city, but close enough if I'm going North, anyways.

I love trying a new restaurant (usually) especially one with such rave reviews. The aristocrat omelette sounds particularly intriguing.

As always: comments? thoughts? opinions?

Update on "V"

Should probably be noted that "V" is a remake/reconstruction of a mini-series that ran in 1983. It was written and directed by Kenneth Johnson.

Following...

I think I've got it down, although I'm now following myself. Is that common?

"V" the new drama on ABC

I just watched the first 9 minutes of the new drama on ABC called "V" (via Hulu.com). It premieres next Tuesday, November 3, at 8 PM.

The premise? First contact with extraterrestrials. It's got a very Independence Day feel to it (and that's even mentioned by someone giving an interview to a news station in the first 9 minutes) as large (let's say a couple of square miles) spaceships float over major cities around the world.

It seems the show will be about whether this alien species can be trusted. They give "hope," promised by the spokesperson/leader of the Visitors (hence "V") (played by Morena Baccarin of "Firefly" and Serenity - which was bugging me, I had to go look at ABC.com to figure it out). But there's an undertone of "this is too good to be true." And it is, if you want spoilers, go read ABC's page - especially the bios.

I already have a good idea what the show will be about. Will I watch it? Most likely. I really like Baccarin in "Firefly" and I'm interested in seeing if the writers can make this same old, same old storyline interesting.

Here's the link for the 9 minute preview on Hulu.com:
