Hey all,

After a lot of searching Google, I found an interesting app set called Beautiful Widgets that seems to do all I want in a Weather App/Widget – and more! Besides wanting a functional weather widget that looked at least decent, I also wanted something that ran decently on my venerable T-Mobile G1. Beautiful Widgets does all of that and a decent amount more!

While it is a “pay” app, it definitely seems worth the price (approx $1.85US at current conversion rates). Though it is from a non-US company, and makes no indication of functioning in the US, it does so just fine ( by city, state, zip, GPS location, or cell location).

Iron Maiden: The Final Frontier

Some things get better with age, like fine wine – but heavy metal bands generally do not fall into that category.

How many bands from the 1970′s do you know of that still have a big enough following to sell out virtually every concert for the last TEN years? How many bands from the 1970′s are releasing TOP TEN albums this late into their career? The only answer that comes to mind is Iron Maiden!

This August, Iron Maiden released “The Final Frontier” – their 15th studio album, and in two weeks, it’s hit #1 in 23 countries worldwide, and the top 5 in almost ten more! Of course, that begs the question, “Does it really deserve these numbers?”

So, as most of you know who are reading this, I am the Gaffer for Retro Film Studios… (Star Trek Phase 2 and Buck Rogers Begins). When we were shooting Buck Rogers Begins, we had an indoor scene that took place on a sunny day. Sadly, mother nature or Thor or whomever didn’t see fit to make the needed weather coincide with the shoot date.

A Slashdot article recently said:

“The RIAA will appeal the ruling that reduced Jammie Thomas-Rasset’s $1.92 million fine for file sharing to $54,000. ‘”It is a shame that Ms. Thomas-Rasset continues to deny any responsibility for her actions rather than accept a reasonable settlement offer and put this case behind her,” said RIAA spokeswoman Cara Duckworth.’ Joe Sibley, an attorney for Thomas-Rasset, said his client would not settle for the $25,000 that the RIAA has asked for.

So… time to update the websites. Jeff Hayes and I have been working on new designs for both the Buck Rogers Begins site and the Star Trek New Voyages: Phase 2 site. Once again, the phenomenal artwork is mostly Jeff’s and the coding, layout and additional graphics are mine.

The Buck Rogers site is getting an entire overhaul, totally new look, and a bunch of added sections finally (which we will be slowly expanding). The Star Trek New Voyages: Phase 2 site will be getting some new graphics, and some major changes to layout and navigation to make finding stuff easier – as well as a bunch of new content. Not as big a change visually as the Buck Rogers site, but the improved navigation and additional content should make up for it…

I think everyone will be thrilled with the new looks of both sites! Well, I hope everyone will be thrilled with it…

Well, after playing with a few free GPS Navigation and Mapping stuff for the T-Mobile G1, I’ve recently gotten an update notice on my phone for Google Maps. The new version includes GPS Navigation (in “beta” like so many of Google’s products) which I started playing with.

I am thoroughly Read more
