Friday Ramblings

My wife and I went to see Van Helsing earlier this evening. We found it entertaining, though we weren't expecting much. It's not really a serious movie, it's more of a "fun" movie. Even so, there were still a few things that bugged me (and yes, that's despite accepting the concept of vampires, werewolves, a James Bond-style Vatican monster hunter, etc.).

I also recently finished watching the Penn & Teller: Bullshit! Season One DVDs. Most of what they covered was stuff I already knew, but I did learn a few new things and they were entertaining in any case. If you like P&T, or are a skeptic about things (ranging anywhere from alien abductions to consequences of second-hand smoke), I'd recommend it.

Finally, I had the day off today, and after I got up (12:30 pm or so - I'm not a morning person) I finished the "Almanac" PDA app I've been working on. I'll be uploading it to the site soon. It's pretty much tied to Mythosa, but it might be worth looking at and getting some ideas from. As I mentioned, if there's enough requests, I may make it customizable, or provide a service to create customized versions for people. We'll have to see.
