We agree on one movie at least, Surfpup! xxx jayallen, russell crowe was creamed for his portrayal of Robin Hood, think a critic said for a British hero, he sounded like an Irishman who took vacations in Australia! :)) Russell has taken offense. ;) Saying all this, surely the pressure is on for the other movies he plans to make. Let me just tell you, for the ladies out there, ... it doesn't matter .... :P— May 28, 2010 10:10 a.m.
My Heroes, The Geek Squad
Okay, MsG, I have a little time now, yesterday was just hit and run. :) Like you, I buy a gadget then use it until it dies. I have no understanding or patience for electronics. Very much like you when I push a wrong button or the screen goes blank or doesn't do what I want it to do, I call my son and yell at him: "What did you do to the *insert broken gadget here*?" And he says: "I didn't do anything to it!" In the meantime he looks at the thing and figures out what I did and undoes it, and peace reigns again. I think I was the last person on earth to own a computer, nan. I had a Brother word processor that worked just fine, both as a word processor and an independent typewriter. I was complaining that I couldn't find ribbons or floppy disks, and everyone was telling me to get a computer. By the time I was forced to buy one, fortunately eMachines had come out with their cheapy versions -- you may recall how expensive PCs were at first. Everyone told me, don't get an eMachine, they will fail. But I had that eMachine forever, in fact, still have it and it still works. But just ran too slow. I have three PCs now and a laptop, each one faster and more capacious. My poor little Brother word processor is sitting in a corner, with a plastic cover over it. I think most of my electronics belong in a museum, they are so old -- but still working! As for your Blackberry, I am still in mourning for your old phone, wish you hadn't posted that picture, bless its little chips!— May 28, 2010 9:55 a.m.

Another great story from you, Dorian. Straightforward, unbiased, objective, no distorting of the facts, gets right to the heart of the matter. You are an excellent journalist. :)— May 28, 2010 9:34 a.m.

Interesting post, RobbieBear, thank you.— May 26, 2010 6:40 p.m.
I Feel the Earth Move
Agree with you both. Again, we are in a race against time. I don't think people realize that the global system as we have known it is collapsing around us. A new paradigm will emerge, but what that is remains to be seen. Will discuss this further in a blog post I hope to have up today. I wonder if you bloggers know how much you influence my thinking and consciousness. It's good to share. :)— May 26, 2010 1:41 p.m.
I Feel the Earth Move
Do think we've done so much to disturb the natural balance of things. It can't be good to be draining oil from the ocean's bed, just as one example. Science is advancing so fast. I think that soon we will have cures for most medical conditions, find a way to provide safe energy, safe food, and clean water and shelter for all human life. With those needs met, we will not have to plunder the earth for our basic needs as we do now. A friend told me some time back that there are byproducts created by producing electronics that damage the ozone layer more than the emissions from cars, and that that damage is irreversible. I read somewhere that coal fires in mines in China have been burningn for years and are responsible for most of the global warming. I have no idea if these things are true or not. I do think If we don't find miracle fixes to repair the environmental damage then the rest won't matter. We may not survive as a species long enough to benefit from all the eons of advancement and progress and learning. So it's a race against time. And even if we stop doing all we are doing to ruin the environment, we may already be too late. I of course hope not for my children's sake.— May 25, 2010 10:14 p.m.
