After 8 weeks straight on the road I am finally home this week. I will spend most of this week trying to catch up on emails and expense reports. Monday I will drive to Maine for a presentation. The drive up will be a little more than 3 hours. So I will spend about 6 1/2 hours in the car for a 2 hour presentation. Yes, I’ve heard of GoToMeeting, WebEx, and LiveMeeting.

Warner Brothers has released a new trailer for Star Wars: The Clone Wars in HD. This is an all new trailer - not the current one on YouTube.

On my way to the Orlando airport this morning I had to pass through no less than three toll booths. At each stop the attendant handed me my change wrapped around a sales flyer! I guess they figure by handing me my change in the flyer I will be less likely to toss the flyer out the window. So by the time I got back to the airport, there were three flyers for CVS Pharmacy lying on the passenger seat. Hopefully the dude that cleans my rental car will be able to take advantage of this week’s specials at CVS Pharmacy in Orlando…

Hello from sunny Orlando!

I have been here all week at a conference and man is it HOT down here! I don’t know how people live down here. It is unbearable! I have the air conditioner cranked and it can barely keep the room cool!

I think Seinfeld said it best:

Is Florida not hot and muggy enough for these people? They love heat. I mean if they ever decide to land men on the sun, I think these old retired guys would be the only ones that will be able to handle it. They’ll just sit there on the sun, on the redwood benches, washcloth on the head going: ‘Close the door, you’re letting all the heat off the sun. I’m trying to get a sweat going.’

Wow! Iron Man, starring Robert Downey Jr., took in a whopping $100.7 million this weekend! That’s almost more than Superman Returns ($52.5 million) and Batman Begins ($48.7 million) combined!

From E! Online

Take that, Batman, Superman and just about every other kind of costume-wearing man.

Iron Man grossed $100.8 million, per studio estimates compiled Sunday by Exhibitor Relations Co., a number that makes the Robert Downey Jr. film second only to Spider-Man for comic book movie debuts.

Already, Iron Man is in heavyweight company. Its opening was bigger than those of Batman Begins ($48.7 million), Superman Returns ($52.5 million), the first two X-Men movies and Spider-Man 2 ($88.2 million). Not bad for a character that’s considered B-list to the Spider-Man-, Batman-, Superman-populated A-list.

Compare these two trailers for ‘Batman‘ (1989) versus ‘The Dark Knight‘ (2008). Notice anything?

I found this on YouTube. This is too funny! Two of my favorite things together - Monty Python and the Holy Grail….in LEGO! Enjoy!

I find that with Python people either love it or they hate it. Both my brothers HATE Monty Python. I don’t get it. To me this is hilarious!

Here is the original scene from the movie. My apologies to my brothers…

I just found out that the dude on my site who was plagiarizing content, blatantly ripped off the layout, structure - and not to mention the whole bloody idea of ClausNET is a high school teacher! If that wasn’t bad enough, he is a Deacon in his church!

I have a good mind to post his email address for the spambots….

This is cool!

That reminds me. Whatever happened to everyone driving flying cars in the year 2000?

Here is the first studio pictures of the Sleestaks in the new Land of the Lost movie.

The movie is based on the 1970s Saturday morning television series Land of the Lost.

The television series revolved around a forest ranger named Rick Marshall and his children Will and Holly who are transported to an mysterious lost world.

I was SO in love with Holly…

Will Ferrell stars in the new movie as Rick Marshall. I wonder if there will be a ChaKa?
