Tron: Legacy is a movie. You can watch it if you want. My review might persuade you to do otherwise.

The author who successfully predicted the Green Bay Packers would win the Super Bowl last year returns with this year's (successful?) predictions!

The "Counties Work" online video game can be found at this link, and hints at being a great outreach tool for teaching people how government works. Why not have an even more developed SIMS-like-game for local government or federal government? Seems like a good idea to me, though I'm the only one who would likely find it fun. You'd probably need some variation of a red-tape monster, or the meeting that just wouldn't end, even with a ctrl-alt-del.

I've moved all the messages from the now defunct messages tab over as "2 cent" articles. I've used judgment in making some messages the article and some messages the comments underneath each article.

By putting it so far in the future, it's also like saying, "We're going to cut emissions 20% by 2021-22." Congratulations, but "we're" means "someone else, hopefully," so you're essentially saying, "Not my problem!"

Just saw Harry Potter 7 Part II in 3D. It wasn't worth the extra 2 bucks or whatever we paid. I presume they can film in more "depth" for a bigger 3D effect if they wanted. At times I had no idea I was watching a 3D movie.

There’s a new competitor with Redbox that I’ve just noticed. They’re called Instaflix. Here’s a quick review.
