The Work And The Glory: American Zion (2005)

There have been many films that have been made that deal with reli­gious intol­er­ance. Many have dealt with Chris­tian­ity, Catholi­cism or Judaism. The Work And The Glory: Amer­i­can Zion deals with the lit­tle known (com­pared to Chris­tian­ity, of course) Mor­mon faith, and how the Mor­mon peo­ple, led by Joseph Smith (Jonathan Scarfe, Into The West, The L-Word) on a quest to find their holy land of Zion, trav­eled across the coun­try to set­tle in peace, only to find hos­til­ity and anger at every turn.

Best Buy To Sell Xbox 360 Games Before Official Launch Date?

Every per­son that calls him­self or her­self a gamer knows that the Xbox 360, Microsoft’s next gen­er­a­tion con­sole, is offi­cially launch­ing in North Amer­ica on Tues­day, Novem­ber 22.

Sell the soft­ware early and let the peo­ple just buy the hardware.

Why is Ted so stupid?

This is a sub­ject of much intel­lec­tual debate. How­ever, a new piece of evi­dence has come to light which may lean the scales very close to the “he just is” party. So, I’m all happy because my research has been going pretty well. Many new tan­gents have opened up. Lots of inter­est­ing impli­ca­tions. And by inter­est­ing

Flock 0.5 Beta

I’ve just down­loaded Flock, a new web browser, and it’s awe­some. I’m test­ing its in-browser blog­ging fea­ture. I’m pretty amazed. Let’s see if this works. At a 0.5 Beta, this is pretty neat, although some fea­tures like Flickr don’t work as well.
