Michael J. Fox “Frighteners” Blooper

As many of my readers know I am a big Michael J. Fox fan. Back to the Future is my absolute favorite movie of all time. Let me put it into perspective for you. I do not have a middle name. But once when I was a kid I begged my mom to legally change my name to include the middle name Martin, so that I could go by Marty. So am I big fan? You bet.

The following video is a hilarious clip I found where Fox and director Peter Jackson talk about one of the memorable bloopers that took place when they were filming The Frighteners. There are a couple of four letter words dropped so make sure the kids aren’t around.

Computer TV

As Lyndsay mentioned in a recent post of hers, we have successfully connected our Macbook laptop to our high-definition LCD television. It all started when we found out that our Skyangel satellite service was changing dramatically. So we had to figure out something different.

Some Odd Quiz Results

I feel that some of these hit the nail on the head and others…mmm…not so much. The one about personality (how rare is your personality) is all wrong. My “1996 Theme Song” is quite appropriate since The Smashing Pumpkins were my absolute favorite band from about 1995 to about 1999 (when I quit listening to secular music. And it is appropriate that I belong to Generation X since I am a Gen X’er (born 1978). I disagree with the last one. It is right in some of the ways that I have changed, but really I have changed much more than those results indicate.

And of course these funny quizzes are not an exact science but they make for some great introspection. By the way for any guys who may do these quizzes and post them on your blog, make sure your remove the images from the code or you’ll end up with some sissy pictures on your site.

Where No Nerd Has Gone Before

I have turned into a real dork over the past several years. Now before I begin let me just say that I use the word “dork” in the most flattering, least offensive way possible. More specifically I have become a major Sci-Fi dork. It all started when my wife (she seems to be at the bottom of all this) got me to watch and become interested in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

I had always thought TNG was a pretty good show and I enjoyed the movies that came out while I was in high school. Still, in my mind, when I thought of Star Trek I thought of wormy little guys with acne
who went to conventions and greeted one another with the Vulcan “live long and prosper” hand gesture.
