Up, Up, and Away!

Well in case you didn't catch the idea from the title of this post. I will be talking a bit about the Last Son of Krypton, The Man of Steel, The Man of Tomorrow, Yes folks Superman. Now if your familiar with me you'll know I read a few comic books here and there, so I get pretty excited when one of these films come out. Now traditionally I'm not that big of a Superman fan, I had always liked him as a symbol not so much as a character, but lately thats changed. I've been reading the Superman monthlies for a little while now(since its actually been good), in the last 6 months watched all 5 seasons of Smallville(just finished this morning), purchased all 3 DVD collections of the Animated Series, purchased and watched the first 2 Superman movies for the first time since I was probably 12, and of course getting really excited about the movie, which I will be seeing later this evening. And yes I get a little overexcited about stuff like this. I usually bombard myself with material. When X-Men 3 came out, I busted out my Classic X-men comics...(and bought some new ones), rewatched the first 2 movies. Unfortunately I didn't have as much material available as I do for Superman.

I think the reason I'm really excited about the movie, especially after watching the original movies is just seeing Superman doing huge amazing superhero stuff.Because no movie has done that...or if they have havn't done it well. Lets look at them, X-Men was good, but played it pretty straight, X2 amped it up, but still all the fighting was done one on one in small confined areas. X3 at the end really did a great job of having a huge Superhero team batlle with teamwork and everything, but other than the bridge and the Pheonix effects nothing crazy, Hulk had good action scenes but not enough of them. Batman Begins a great movie but still a dude fighting dudes, same with Daredevil. The first 2 movies are good, but man the effects, I know they were good for the time back in 1980, but man I can't wait to see how they do everything. In the last couple months they've been releasing a lot of trailers for the movie, and with each one it looks more and more like what I've been waiting for (they showed a bullet bouch off his eye!). Plus whenever they play that John Williams Superman theme I turn into a 8 year old kid and get way too excited.

I want this movie to have the same kind of feeling I had watching King Kong this past Holiday season, it was a movie that needed to be experienced on a big screen, movies like that are why I goto the movies, they give you the spectacle and joy of seeing something that you can't see anywhere else. I better stop now before it becomes a gushfest about King Kong.

But damn it I want to believe a man can fly...again.
I'll be back tomorrow with a review.

Water Power!

Check out this video from YouTube of a news report:


A car that runs on water, absolutely amazing. If this technology works as well as it seems to, in about 10 years or so this could change everything. He's using it as a Water/Gas Hybrid in his car right now, in a car he kind of messed with himself. Imagine a car built specifically around this, Water is the fuel and when the reaction is done, it just turns back to water again. Set up a recycling system collects the water and puts it back in the tank. Not only is it going to run on water you'd also barely ever have to refill it. They say he's working with a major Car manufacturer right now to get this going, sooner the better. This guy just discovered his license to print money. This technology just really excites me because it really can change the world, even shift the balance of power and economics on a global scale.

I give up, just doin it simple

Well I finally got off my ass and got the site working, without any fancy PHP, Javascript, or AJAX. I just did it the old fashoned way. I just wanted it up and working again, looking nicely the way i wanted it. I still wish the AJAX and PHP back end worked the way I wanted them to, but for now...simple. Again its more of that stuff, that even if I got it to work none of you would ever know, because it would look and act the same, just more efficient on my end of things. But what you wanna do?

I want to switch hosting services over to GoDaddy, but until I get my finances straightened out I don't wanna mess with it. Since I obviously wanna keep the same domain name, I also gotta figure out how that works. With this host I lose my Control Panel login screen every month and its such a hastle. GoDaddy is cheaper, plus good customer service from what I hear.
