Brick
I finally managed to see Brick with Sarah this weekend — and I’d go so far as to say that it’s probably my favorite movie of the past year. Then again, I’ve always had a soft spot for film noir inspired work.
Perhaps one of my favorite bits of the movie were the snappy, rapid fire verbal acrobatics. How rapid fire was it? Let’s just say that at times, the delivery would have made the Gilmore Girls head spin.
Brad Bramish: Oh yeah?
Brendan Frye: Yeah.

Brendan Frye: Yeah.
Brad Bramish: Yeah?

Like A Virgin
I’m not sure how I feel about the concept of a Reservoir Dogs Video Game, but I’m pretty sure that this commercial kicks loads of ass.

Just trying to keep track of the photos from the weekend. I know by the end of the weekend it’ll be pretty full of Scott Beale’s photos, but maybe I’ll make my way into one…

WordCamp WiFi
I probably could have put this on the last post, but I’ve just gotta say that the WiFi here is really quite nice. Much nicer than the conference WiFi that I’m used to, actually. Hopefully it stays nice thru the day.
