SW Insider, the new 'improved' version

barron78 — Sep 28, 2008 07:24 AM

Vaapadsamurai beat me to the punch about the new Insider, but I want to throw my 2 decicreds in.

CW Series Predictions, I

barron78 — Sep 07, 2008 05:22 AM

So, one of my 'things' is I like to make predictions. I like to use the verb 'calling' as in 'I'm calling Orioles over Twins on Sat. 13th" (grandmas 90th!). Or the more popular 'I called that' after the fact.

Clone Wars part Deux

barron78 — Aug 22, 2008 06:17 PM

I saw it again, a week in between showings. I was specifically looking for easter eggs this time around. Aside from R2 KT, I came up blank. I'd love to hear comments if anyone else found some.

Yeah, I have a review, too.

barron78 — Aug 15, 2008 07:44 PM

Let's start with, I'm glad I went to see it on opening day

Who's Invincible?

barron78 — Jun 08, 2008 11:30 AM

I finally finished Invincible (see what can happen when the school year ends, CDS?) and I've read some other reviews. I have to say I'm remarkably untouched by the ending. Just another day in the GFFA it seems.

I managed to get out and see Indiana Jones Saturday, many thanks to Sis for watching the boyos while we were away.

Predictions

barron78 — May 03, 2008 05:04 AM

I am ardently anti-spoiler, but I love to make predictions. So, here are my predictions for Invincible, I promise these are not based on any 'research.' And, these are predictions, not requests, as it were. In order of increasing outrageous-ness.

Rule of 2

barron78 — Apr 05, 2008 06:37 PM

I finally cleared all of the unread Star Wars books in my on deck circle, having completed "Darth Bane, the Rule of Two." Author Drew Karpyshn (?) turned this book around in 6 months. I'm curious as to why this book was rushed to publication. I feel

Science Meets Imagination

barron78 — Mar 15, 2008 07:07 PM

The Science Meets Imagination exhibit is a great way to spend a beautiful Saturday afternoon indoors.

True Colors

barron78 — Feb 24, 2008 06:08 PM

A 2% on the milk scale

Solo Trilogy

barron78 — Feb 18, 2008 04:50 PM

Make sure you read the good Han Solo Trilogy.

Fury

barron78 — Feb 10, 2008 12:10 PM

I just finished Fury. I'm going to give it a whole on the milk scale. With Allston doing the writing, I could've stood a little more Wedge, Wes and Tycho. He handled them well in the X-Wing series and NJO; I would have liked to see that continue.

Mythbuster

barron78 — Feb 03, 2008 01:26 PM

I had the opportunity to see Grant Imahara of Mythbusters fame speak last night.

Tatooine

barron78 — Jan 16, 2008 07:23 AM

What exactly was Beru cooking?

Hyperspace

barron78 — Jan 08, 2008 06:10 PM

So I've been thinking about hyperspace, the method of traveling faster than light across great distances, not the pay side of starwars.com. Just a fair warning, I may go uber-geek here.

Legacy

barron78 — Dec 27, 2007 11:05 AM

I got the Legacy TPB 'Broken' for Christmas, and eagerly read it Wednesday, after all the family had left, and while the boy-os were playing with their new toys.

My BFD Contribution

barron78 — Dec 21, 2007 07:24 AM

A little physics for BFD (puns intended).

Spoliers

barron78 — Dec 18, 2007 11:46 AM

So in my last blog, I warned of a minor spoiler, and it got me to thinking, what is a minor spoiler? For that matter what is any spoiler?

Death Star

barron78 — Dec 10, 2007 08:28 AM

MINOR SPOILER ALERT
Death Star by Reeves and Perry Review

Naming Conventions
