Moving from Japan, It's a toss-up between South Korea and China (North Korea and Russia are right out). I have the job skills for a comfy life in either one, but China seems like it has more opportunity. The toxic fog and gov't censorship are a problem, though. SK just seems a little too insular.

Can't complain about Sybil Danning. That woman deserved an oscar for best half-boob. Top, side, under, she could do it all.

Great video this week. What bugs me, though, is that I recognized Turner D. Century, and I have no idea how. I've read maybe 3 superhero comics in my entire life (that's 3 issues, not series), so I'm hardly a repository of geek culture ephemera. Oh well, must have n across him over at...

Apple and Amazon are both radically different companies today than they were ten years ago. A lot of tech manufacturing companies have realized that computer hardware is rapidly becoming fungible, and have switched their main business focus over to consulting and "solutions" rather simply...

I didn't pop Cars into the DVD player with high expectations, but it was actually a pretty decent movie. 'The Worst Pixar Film EVAR' still puts it well ahead of most of the films that get released every year. Interesting to contrast this review with The AV Club's (they gave it a C-, while the...

Oh, I know the gamelpay will look nothing like the CGI, but the graphics levels in general for new games are starting to make my poor little PC cry, especially when they involve sprawling geography and lots of independent objects. Heck, even Saint's Row 2 was pretty choppy at times.

James Earl Cash from Manhunt. I'm going to need some time alone in the bathroom with a tube of soothing cream.

Curry. If I have to pick a particular flavor, spinach and lentil or spinach and mutton.

I used to give pretty frequently, but now I'm out on two counts: having previously had cancer and having received a blood transfusion. Never knew those were on the list until I looked it up recently.

During work, I favor coffee with just a bit of cream and sugar. After 6PM (often while still at work), good dark ales, Islay single malts, or Ron Zaacapa on the rocks.

Nah, first kiss and first 'relationship' were both over 20 years ago and a continent away.

Actually, nothing to do with space travel or sci-fi. Back about 10 years ago, I was working on a project involving undersea fiber-optic cables when I joined the forums at the Motley Fool. I ended up picking sub(submarine) and light(fiber optics)= sublight. And that's been the name I've held...

Yep, married with kid.

Saints Row 2 was a fantastic game because it kept the story light and fast with plenty of variety in the action. As long as they don't screw that up the new one should be good, too. Sadly, it looks like it may be a bit much for my 2008-era PC to handle.

Since PGP stood for "Pretty Good Privacy", I think Sony already unveiled their NGP.
