I haven’t really watched anything Terminator related since T2 but we’ll see how this one does…

(Newser) –
Dark Knight
swoops into cinemas tomorrow and critics say the hype is more than
justified. “This is not merely a Batman movie,” Amy Biancolli writes in
the Houston Chronicle. It is one of the year’s best films
“and far and away the most hypnotic chiller.” The bleak Gotham tale is
“audacious and unnerving while consistently being fun and
entertaining,” writes Claudia Puig in USA Today.

At the movie’s pitch-dark heart is a stunning performance from the late
Heath Ledger as the Joker—”more explosive than any of the bombs or
crashes his character unleashes on Gotham,” writes Bill Goodykoontz in
the Arizona Republic. “The irony of his loss is that in this, his biggest and best role, his character, while demented beyond repair, is so alive.”

Well if this is as good as RE4 I’m sold… as long as Milla Jovovich is not in it…

Well the 1st 2 for the PS2 were pretty good so we’ll see how this one turns out…

So I have a great idea for a social networking site…. I know there’s a ton of them already. Well here is the thing; I found a niche and I know how to monetize it while still keeping it fun for people. The problem is that I need to find an Angel investor willing to give (invest) money at this very early seed stage. It’s hard to get this up and running when you’re at a full time job… any ideas where I can find someone?

I got this story from Newser.com who got it from Bloomberg. If Rogers didn’t have those ridiculous data plans maybe I’d get one….

The iPhone 3G turns out to be pretty popular, technical glitches or
no. Apple sold 1 million units in its first weekend, Bloomberg reports,
sending the company’s shares up 3.5%. As of last night, half of the
company’s 187 US retail outlets were already sold out. “IPhone 3G had a
stunning opening weekend,” said Steve Jobs. The original iPhone took 74
days to break the million-unit mark.

“International really hit it out of the park,” said one analyst. “This
is definitely a faster start than we anticipated.”

So when the hell is it coming out?

mmmmm I love coffee!
10. Deodorizer. Dry them out on a cookie sheet and
then put them in a bowl in your refrigerator or freezer, or rub them on
your hands to get rid of food prep smells.

9. Plant food.
Plants such as rosebushes, azaleas, rhododendrons, evergreen and
camellias that prefer acidic soils will appreciate the leftovers from
your morning cup. Also, grounds can add nutrients to your compost bin.

8. Insect repellant.
Sprinkle old grounds around places you don’t want ants, or on the ant
piles themselves. The little buggers will move on or stay away. Used
grounds are also said to repel snails and slugs.

7. Dye. By steeping grounds in hot water, you can make brown dye for fabric, paper and even Easter eggs.

6. Furniture scratch cover-up. Steep grounds and apply a bit of the liquid to furniture scratches with a Q-tip.

5. Cleaning product. As they’re slightly abrasive, grounds can be used as a scouring agent for greasy and grimy stain-resistant objects.

4. Kitty repellent. To keep kitty from using the garden as her personal powder room, sprinkle grounds mixed with orange peels around your plants.

3. Flea dip.
Follow up Fido’s shampoo with a coffee ground rub down, working them
down to his skin. Not only are the fleas suppose to vamoose, but
puppy’s hair will feel soft too.

2. Dust inhibitor. Before you clean out the fireplace, toss wet coffee grounds over the ashes to keep the ash dust under control.

1. Cellulite reducer. Mix 1/4 cup warm, used coffee grounds and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. While standing over an old towel or newspaper, apply the mixture to
your “problem areas”. Next, wrap the areas with shrink wrap and leave
on for several minutes. Unwind the wrap, brush loose grounds off your
skin and then shower with warm water. For best results, it is
recommended to repeat this procedure twice a week. A little weird to be
sure, but as high priced cellulite creams have coffee in them, it just
might work.
