Briefly

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

I wanted to write a quick briefing of what I’ve been up to, since I haven’t gotten around to posting about several different things.

The biggest reason for the lack of posts is the fact that I have been working on a re-design of this site. I have been very indecisive during this process and just yesterday decided to scrap my almost complete design for something almost completely different. I’m pretty sure I’ve got a winner now, so it shouldn’t be too long now before it goes live.

I also wanted to mention a new code editor called Intype that I have been trying out. It is still an alpha release of the product, but I am really starting to enjoy its simplicity and ease of use. I have mainly been using it for my re-design efforts as well as some client work. The application’s inspiration comes from the Mac’s uber-popular TextMate application, filling a void for us like-it-or-not Windows users. The final version will cost somewhere under $40 and will probably be worth it.

A couple weekends ago we saw 300 at the theater. The film is based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel “300″, a story of the Battle of Thermopylae that took place between the Spartans and Persians in 480 B.C. I had planned on writing a more detailed post about it because I thought it was a real work of art, but instead I just want to say that you NEED to see it because it is bad-ass.

A compilation of scenes from this season’s best new character on The Office. I sure hope he (Ed Helms) becomes a permanent character for seasons to come.

The OH in OHio

ohInOhio.jpgOne thing I would like to start writing about here are the movies I venture to the theater to see. This past weekend I went to the Marimont Theater and saw “The OH in OHio”, an independent film starring Paul Rudd and Parker Posey. Check out the trailer.
The “OH” was a very smart comedy about sex, relationships, and being happy with your life. Paul Rudd was fantastic, you really got to see beyond his 40 Year Old Virginesque humor. Parker played her role as the predictable, uptight professional wonderfully. Danny Devito and Misca Barton also contributed nicely to the story. Overall I don’t really have any negative comments about the film. I highly reccomend the film, especially if you’re looking for a nice change of pace from a trip to the megaplex theaters on date night.

[update] The “Oh” is now out on DVD. You probably won’t find it at your local Best Buy or Circuit City, but you can get it online. I already ordered mine. You should at least stop by Blockbuster to see if they have it.
