Just returned from Riverside, California yesterday and it was an enjoyable vacation. My wife and I went to Las Vegas for a couple nights staying at the Hilton. Our package (courtesy of my Dad for our second honeymoon) consisted of The Star Trek Experience, a dinner for two at Quarks Bar and various other incentives. We stayed on the 9th floor and at first it was a confusing experience trying to get up to our floor. We initially thought that the elevators, no matter how many of them, all led to whatever floor desired. However, we didn’t realize that there were two sets of elevators until we asked one of the bellhops. I think he cackled to himself quietly as we walked away, “Stupid Las Vegas newbies.”

Homestarrunner.com is the home of the infamous Internet cartoon starring Homestar Runner and the gang. However, the true spotlight of the site is a character by the name of Strongbad, a Mexican wrestler with attitude and spunk.
Trying to describe what is so interesting about Strongbad is an explanation without words. Instead, to truly enjoy this experience you could just as easily sift through the several Strongbad emails.
As an alternative, someone has decided to archive the greatest of the Strongbad cartoons. See them here.

By now, we’ve all heard of or seen Pixar’s latest animated hit, Finding Nemo. The story, while extremely simplistic is geniune in its execution and provides plenty of eye candy for moviegoers.
According to USAtoday.com (special thanks to my Dad for the link), Nemo ranked in $70.6 million dollars in its opening weekend smashing Matrix Reoloaded to the next spot in the Box Office heirarchy. Disney should be proud that they have such a successful outfit cranking out the hits for them because as of late there hasn’t been an animated blockbuster (aside from Pixar’s features) to come out of the Mouse House. Why? It’s simple, really. Disney needs to find itself again and rework the formula that worked so well for movies like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Was that formula only existent with Walt’s direction and vision? Maybe.
