Bender in a box.

Just received a Bender toy in the mail.

Should I take it out of the packaging? Should I buy another one?

I know I can use it for a lot of photography idea.

P.S.
New Futurama episode coming tomorrow: “The Silence Of The Clamps”
After testifying against the Robot Mafia, Bender goes into hiding in the witness relocation program.

Dear Netflix, what?

Netflix introduces new subscription plans and price changes.

So for instance, our current $9.99 a month membership for unlimited streaming and unlimited DVDs will be split into 2 distinct plans:

Plan 1: Unlimited Streaming (no DVDs) for $7.99 a month
Plan 2: Unlimited DVDs, 1 out at-a-time (no streaming), for $7.99 a month.

The price for getting both of these plans will be $15.98 a month ($7.99 + $7.99). For new members, these changes are effective immediately; for existing members, the new pricing will start for charges on or after September 1, 2011.

If you are currently a Netflix subscriber, check your plan and act accordingly.

I have streaming only service and I’ d have to pay another $7.99 to get the DVD by mail. I’d be completely happy to have streaming only service if there were more newer movies available.

Foo Fighters at iTunes Festival 2011.

UPDATE:
Apple has yet to provide the recording.
Does it have something to do with this?

Did you watch the Foo Fighters Live at iTunes Festival 2011? If you missed it, you could watch it again.

Download the iPhone/iPod touch/iPad App or watch it on iTunes.

I managed to grab one screenshot during Everlong. Sorry Dave, it’s not the best picture.

Old Movies: Revenge Of The Nerds

I watched “Revenge Of The Nerds” on Netflix earlier today. Still entertaining after all these years.

Random thoughts on the movie:

Hey it’s that guy from E.R.
Jefferson Darcy
Zephram Cochrane
John Goodman, half the size.

What’s next?

I spent the whole Saturday moving computers from an office to a temporary location. The current office will undergo some renovations for the next few months. Had a nice lunch break at El Torito with everyone. We’ll be getting all new Gigabit network at the office when it’s done in addition to newly partition rooms, new desks, new bathrooms, new HVAC system, and a lot more.
