Has anybody else noticed the similarity between certain scenes?

Or is it a given that any scene involving the secret knowledge of gunpowder will have one person (say Ash) keeping the idiot with the flame away from the combustibles...

He Man Does 4 Non Blondes

Jon alerts me to this brilliance.

Bringing it all together

This is why I love Wil Wheaton. He puts this snarky mirror to the last two decades in the same way that Neal Stephenson does for the future, while still capturing the essence of the spoken word poetry that we would occasionally gather for at the Half Ass.

And by the way Charlie, I'm not sure how I can ever thank you for introducing me to Battelstar Galactica.

climb so high and gain so low:

My Road is paved with d20s and TRON DVDs and Atari 2600 games. It's lit by the glow of TNG and BSG episodes and the soundtrack is by Vangelis. It's patrolled by Rover and they sell Soylent Green in the rest stop vending machines. The speed limit is 42, but if you flash your Bavarian Illuminati card, you can use the FTL drive to make it to Milliways in time for dinner.

(Purportedly Via WIL WHEATON DOT NET: Where is my mind?.)

Yes, that is the installation of XP on a Mac. By a quirk of the installation process, that installation screen is at the native resolution of the MacBook Pro, as opposed to the windows standard 640x480. Which Means that Windows Works Better On a Mac.

This doesn't mean I'm switching to XP, it's just nice to have options to get my work done.
