Superhero Hype! follows heroes every step of the way as they make it to the big screen. Each project, based on a comic book, graphic novel or original idea, is covered from rights acquisition to development to production and distribution. At SHH!, we're calling all heroes!

The guys from Judgement Day/Electronic Playground were hyping this site. Looks pretty decent.

And I am man enough to admit it.

Pulp Fiction was not enjoyable for me. Perhaps I didn't give it enough chance, but I found it to be very in-your-face, disgusting, base, vile, and vulgar.

Kill Bill Part 1 is a masterpiece. It proves that Quentin Tarantino is a genius, and there can be no doubt in my mind about that now.

\ Nate is right, and I am wrong.

Long ago, a valiant hero defeated an evil wind demon known as Vaati and imprisoned him with a magical seal. Over the ages, the seal weakened. Now, Vaati has escaped and abducted Princess Zelda and the six Shrine Maidens. To thwart Vaati's vile forces, legendary hero Link turns to the mystical power of the Four Sword to split himself into four colored copies of himself. The four Links embark on a quest to collect Force Gems and save Princess Zelda. Their journey will take them through enemy-infested lands and puzzle-plagued dungeons.

Check out the Flash encrusted website for even more details. I don't think I need to point out that one particular Zelda game or another have been the Killer App for most every device sold by Nintendo. I enjoy a Mario game, but I buy Nintendo for Zelda. (And more recently Metroid too). So start checking the stores, they've had this one under development long enough, it's bound to be excellent.

As if it isn't confusing enough having two Earth Days (1, 2), there is also a World Environment Day. Of course since it is the environment, can there truly be too many days to worry about it? I think not. (Of course I am a self proclaimed tree hugger).

World Environment Day can be celebrated in many ways, including street rallies, bicycles parades, green concerts, essay and poster competitions in schools, tree planting, recycling efforts, clean-up campaigns and much more. In many countries, this annual event is used to enhance political attention and action.

Props to Yaty for bringing this to my attention.

The Plog™ Service is a personalized blog. A blog is a straightforward and now widely adopted method of posting a reverse chronological diary on the Internet.

[ Amazon.com: What is a Plog? ]

I'm not sure what to think. Plog is a stupid name. And this “plog” is by no means what I would call a blog. How could an automated system have a diary? However I do like the items that it has brought to my attention. I seems to be an improved way of informing me about items that I might be interested in. Perhaps a sort of “Shopping Tivo” or “Shivo™”.

So do I get bent out of shape because Amazon has a stupid misnomer for a new presentation of information that I may find interesting? Or do I ignore that and enjoy the suggestions that Amazon serves up, since they are mostly things I actually am interested in.

Apparently some guy got bent out of shape that ladies weren't charged a cover and he was, so he's spoiled the fun for everyone, and apparently New Jersey has gone along with it. If you still live in New Jersey, you should either get your state's constitution changed or move to the (now) much cooler Delaware.

Ladies' Night is the common promotion that gives free admission and discounted drinks to women with the intent of drawing them to a bar that in turn attracts a flock of full-price paying men.

[snip]

Judges in Pennsylvania and Iowa have said events like Ladies' Night are illegal. But courts in Illinois and Washington have allowed the promotions because they don't discriminate against men, but serve to encourage women to attend.

And it is rather snazzy. Now it has “buddy icons”, avatars, integrated music, smaller footprint, “skinable” interface, and more! What are you waiting for, upgrade now!

I couldn't have said it any better. (And yes Nate, I know you blogged about this months ago...)
