“The Gunfighter” is definitely one of the best short films I have ever seen.
I have worked on a few short films and I wished I did work on this one.

Thanks to Michael B. Johnson and John Gruber for pointing this out.
Amazon Prime Music
Amazon launches Prime Music:
Your music collection just got a lot bigger.
Unlimited, ad-free streaming of over a million songs and hundreds of playlists.
And the best part is …it’s FREE with Amazon Prime.
On Thursday, June 11, 2014 Amazon updated its Amazon Cloud Player app and renamed it to Amazon Music.
One million songs seems to be anemic compared to Spotify’s claim on 20 millions of global songs count.
The Last Night of Monty Python
From MontyPythonLive.com:
24 April 2014
“Thanks to the wonderful invention of moving pictures, The Last Night of Monty Python is coming to a cinema near you. Get your knotted handkerchiefs out and warm your brains one last time at any one of 450 cinemas across the UK, and 1500 across the world. Join the crowd live from London’s O2 in a final weepy, hilarious, uproarious, outrageous, farewell to the five remaining Pythons as they head for The Old Jokes Home …. On the big screen, in HD.” The Pythons
I watched Monty Python’s Flying Circus on rerun back in the 80’s. Apparently I was not old enough to really understand the jokes back then. In the late 90’s I rediscovered them and actually collected all the episodes on DVDs.

The first generation of Amazon Fire TV comes with 5.49GB of storage.
End of Amazon Fire TV: Unboxed
Amazon Fire TV: The Arrival
Amazon Fire TV I ordered arrived one day earlier than promised, thanks to Amazon and USPS speedy delivery. I also ordered the Fire Game Controller, but it won’t be delivered until sometimes next week. I would have more time later in the evening installing, using and playing with the Amazon Fire TV. Don’t expect any unboxing video from me because there are already tons of other people doing that. I would do something different. Stay tuned!
The package was delivered so fast, probably because it was done by Spider-Man himself.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opens in Theaters May 2, 2014.
