Happy Birthday to Carlos Alazraqui.

We would like to wish our good friend Carlos Alazraqui a Happy Moon Landing Day.

Carlos Alazraqui is known for his role as Deputy James Oswaldo Garcia in RENO 911!. He is also the man behind the voice of Rocko from Rocko’s Modern Adventure, Lazlo from Camp Lazlo, and the Taco Bell Chihuahua.

By the way, July 20th is also Carlos’ birthday.

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.

Star Trek on Netflix, beam me and sign me up!

Star Trek is now on Netflix according to TekGoblin and others. I also heard the news on Tech News Today this past Friday July 1st, 2011 if memories served correctly.

Let’s recap:

  • I watched Star Trek The Original Series on re-run in the 80’s.
  • I followed Star Trek: The Next Generation since its premiere till “All Good Things…”
  • I watched a few first episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
  • I kinda watched Star Trek: Voyager and kinda bored with it.
  • I watched Enterprise for one and a half season, then for some reason kept missing it.

I have watched all Star Trek Movies and looking forward to the next one despite major plot loopholes in Star Trek (2009).

Time to get on Netflix.

p.s. I did get to meet Jolene Blalock on an MTV event when Enterprise wa still on production.
