I'm a blogger

Welcome to a very different WEBmikey home page! I've decided to join the revolution of mundane rantings by starting my own weblog (or blog) using Blogger. This means that I can update my blog in the blink of an eye, anywhere, anytime, without any pesky site maintenance, which means more frequent ramblings for you to read (and I know there are a few folks who check WEBmikey quite often!). It also means that my Random page will probably grow static, since I intend to just blog any passing thought that strikes me as something fun enough to post. So, welcome to the future!

So, after over a year of thinking about it, I finally bought a TiVo (Sony 30-hour model). Holy couch-potato, Batman - this thing is sucking my time away! I'm sure the newness will wear off, but right now when I come home from work and I have episodes of Batman Beyond, Superman and Big O ready to watch, I can't stop myself! It's true that TiVo changes the way you watch TV - I haven't watched anything "live" since I bought it. I'm going to have to set some rules for myself, though - how am I going to find time to read, or worse still, keep up my feverish pace of Netflix rentals? Anyway, I love this blasted box - I just have to master my TiVo appetite.

Speaking of Big O, this is the coolest anime I've seen in a long time. Really fun melodrama and giant robot battles to boot! I have no idea why the robot (or "mega-deuce") is called "Big O", though - I can only think of one thing people call the "Big O", and I'm pretty sure robots aren't involved.

I took a trip to LA last weekend and visited Disney's California Adventure. I don't want to waste your time telling you all about the park, but I have to say the Soarin' Over California ride is awe-inspiring. It's basically a gentle motion simulator with a full field of view IMAX screen (along with wind and scent effects), but it just blows the audience away - when the clouds part and you are suddenly flying over the Golden Gate Bridge, the audience literaly breaks out in spontaneous applause! Amazing.
