Olympics obsessing
I'm trying to catch at least a little bit of every sport at the Olympics. Having dual monitors at work helps a lot; one tuned to the NBC live feed and the other to (possibly) be productive. It's an embarrassment of riches ( Read more... ) -

Went to see The Dark Knight Rises this weekend and just deleted my long-ish, mostly snarky review. Here's my revised, snark-free, completely spoiler-free review of The Dark Knight Rises:

New Hobbit vlog
Peter Jackson has released the latest Hobbit vlog and finally we see some of Martin behind the scenes. The man has eluded nearly all bts cameras until now.
Check Martin at 10:41. Benedict mentioned that on the Sherlock set Martin would kung fu chop him in the neck when he turned his back. It's even more special in a wet suit. Adorable dorkitude ( Read more... )
