Star Trek boldly went where no one had gone before: good
There are a gazillion reviews for the latest Star Trek movie out there. Here's mine.
The place they went that no one had gone before? They made a good prequel. Virtually all revisits of classic things (c.f., the Transformers, George Lucas' revisits to Star Wars and E.T., Batman) are terrible. This one is the best in a long, long line of movies and TV shows.
See and Look
In English, "see" and "look" have very similar meanings, while "oversee" and "overlook" have almost opposite meanings. I find this amusing. It's even more amusing when it shows up on a resume like the one I saw today:
I overlooked a team of five doing blah, blah, blah...
So, did this person fail to notice a team of five that was doing a lot of important work? Or did he actually mean that he "oversaw" them? 
I also notice that we can have an insight, but not an outsight. We can have an outlook, but not an inlook. We can oversee and overlook, but we can't undersee or underlook, unless we are perhaps undersea.
Poker Copilot: The only poker helper for Mac users?
I've done a bunch of work in online poker lately (for Cigital), and so it's important for me to improve my game to where I'm not just one of the fish. I was keen to try some of the software that's out there, but I'm a Mac user. I'm not going to use Windows just to play poker, especially when both PokerStars and FullTilt Poker offer Mac native clients. That's where Poker Copilot comes in. I tried a couple others, but they seemed too limited, too "beta," for my purposes.
A guy’s take on laundry
I was doing laundry this weekend. I do about 0.01% of the loads of laundry in our household, on average, despite being responsible for about 1/3 to 1/2 of it, by volume. I observed something funny about how I do it, too.
For whatever reason, I always start with whites. After all, they need special handling (don't put the red T-shirt in with them, right Jenny?). It also seems like you get a lot done by starting with whites.
Pirates: Rule the Carribean
I play a game on Facebook called "Pirates: Rule the Carribean." This is my strategy and some WTF's about the game.
