Who could have ever imagined that such a little box that just sit there on our desks or an even smaller box that can fit on our lap would have ever been such an important invention to us all? Computer systems play such an integral role in our society. They help us to get our work done quickly and more efficiently. We can do everything we need from typing up reports on a word processing program, to calculating a monthly budget on a spreadsheet. Computers are no longer being used strictly for...
Warner Brothers bring us another volume of animated classics from the golden age of Saturday mornings and sugary cereals, the 1960’s. Its two discs full of anthropomorphic heroes, theme songs that you just can’t get out of your head and at times, straight-up weirdness. At 299 minutes, there are enough cartoons in this collection to last several Saturdays. Some highlights include classics like the Bugs Bunny Show, Porky Pig and the Road Runner as well as Magilla Gorilla...
Tags: DVD, cartoons, 1960s, saturday morningIn the coming weeks of November, I'm sad to say, I may not be around as much as I have been in the past. As things have slowed lately, and given the fact I'm not as productive recently as I should be, I've taken up the familiar chance to go work in the local heating\air factory where my mom works. I've done it before, I can do it again. I spent three summers there, one of which was on the graveyard shift. It was in that final summer a creepy old guy hit on me. He's probably dead by now,...
Tags: igorThe Caped Crusader is back in another collection of animated outings. Eschewing the grim n’ gritty Batman of recent years, The Brave and the Bold embraces an incarnation of the Dark Knight that most fans and writers choose to forget. Harkening back to the 1950’s era of a smiling Batman who traveled time and was just as likely to fight dinosaurs and ghosts as he was mobsters, this popular series has made Batman fun again and introduced him to a whole new generation of...

Tags: saw, movie, jigsaw, horrorHowdy, This is a cool place. That I may never, again, use it has entered my cool thought, about it. For, you know I don't remember choosing this site, as of relevance and practice, to visit. Search of self "revealed" the place, that is registered with no profile, but, no does have a profile. To blog is fun. And, to finish for it, until, then.
Tags: remember, mania, cool, relevanceIm curious what tools this site has to offer. Seeing as I am a software developer, and a part time Movie Prop Fabricator I spend half my time reading through mindless babble, and the other half wondering how things work. At some point, I have to decide what to do with my StarwarsUniverse.com website, and hopefully, sites like Mania will give me some ideas.
Bleach So I'm doing my usual anime hunt in Best Buy, Hastings and now Wal-Mart at times. "Bleach" is a show I keep coming across, and it's one I've kept in mind for some time because it was mbeckham, I believe, who recommended it to me. And I keep coming across entire sets, not to mention individual "volumes" that have something like four episodes per disc. I haven't yet found Volume 1, as I'd like to watch it and see if I can get into it. In short, I want to avoid the confusion I...

Tags: tom & jerry, dvd, animationAfter reading Chad Derdowksi's ridiculous piece about who Batman could take Spidey in a fight, I was inspired to post a reply. After my reply passed about 300 characters, I decided to start a blog. I've been thinking about doing this for a while and now is as good a time as any. Might as well get started: To me, Batman is one of the least interesting, most over-rated comic book characters of all time. There is no way that a smart guy with a belt full of gadgets should be...
