In car Jenga James - Sunday, July 18, 2010, 7:00 pm

I figured out that while traveling in a car, the driver of the car gets a unique opportunity to play a Jenga like game. If they grab a handful of potato chips, the goal is to get them out one by one by using their mouth. They lose the game if they (1) crash the car, (2) spill any chips, or (3) jamm the entire fistful in their mouth at once.

In the scene where the Millennium Falcon has just blasted off from Tatooine, Luke points at a light and says, "what's that flashing?" Watch carefully, and Han Solo slaps Luke's hand away before he says "We're losing our deflector shield. Go strap yourself in." After I saw that, I laughed and had to watch the same scene. I don't know how I missed that one.

Fans of Sage for Firefox James - Saturday, May 1, 2010, 7:25 pm

I use Sage-too for my RSS reader for Firefox. However, when I upgraded to the latest Ubuntu (10.04), Sage-too stopped working. After investigation, it appears to be dead. However, one of the Sage-too developers has branched it again and created Sage++, which contains the features like hiding read feeds, etc. that I've grown to love.
