Nerd things, unsolicited opinions, and the occasional outburst of bitterness. January 16, 2010. Avatar and Fetishizing The Other. Fair warning: This post may contain spoilers. However, I also feel I must point out that the foreshadowing in. Is so clumsy that the first half of the movie contains spoilers for the second half. So really, how much damage am I going to do? So, James Cameron spends a decade working on his opus, and here it is. Truth and beauty in dazzling 3D, right? Neytiri's introduction is a...

Ian!: Cowgirls, Aliens
http://blog.iangreenleaf.com/2013/11/cowgirls-aliens.html
Nerd things, unsolicited opinions, and the occasional outburst of bitterness. November 4, 2013. A fact that you probably already guessed: I start a lot more blog posts than I finish. In recent years, this has happened to a degree that is no less than tragic. Back when Cowboys and Aliens. Was still a newly released movie, I wrote 90% of a scathing critique of its shortcomings; a spiritual successor to my piece on Avatar. Go read their explanation of the name. It's great). Not only did they like. Fun bonus...

So like any good nerd, I decided I could do better. I had been using PHP CodeSniffer. There are de...

Nerd things, unsolicited opinions, and the occasional outburst of bitterness. September 11, 2010. Movies I Hate: Legally Blonde and Pearl Harbor. I've been badly missing my pathetically modest posting target of once a month, so it's time yet again to break out the filler. I have only one "Top Ten List" on Netflix, and it is titled Movies I Hate. The description reads, "Not just movies I strongly dislike. Movies I wouldn't piss on to put out a fire." Here are two more from that list. Enjoy.

Ian!: Hobson's World
http://blog.iangreenleaf.com/2010/12/hobsons-world.html
Nerd things, unsolicited opinions, and the occasional outburst of bitterness. January 30, 2011. Is any choice where the only options are accepting all the terms, or none at all. There's nothing inherently bad about these types of choices. But what if Hobson's stable was the only one in town? And if horses were so heavily used that access to one was no longer a luxury? And what if his rotation wasn't a fair FIFO. Send software and/or “downloads” to the Customer Equipment. And install, configure, maintain,...

Nerd things, unsolicited opinions, and the occasional outburst of bitterness. November 8, 2009. Avoiding disaster when using svn switch.
