I’ve set the game tonight to record in case Comcast Harrisburg has an 11th-hour reprieve up their sleeve.

“You’re looking for beauty rather than practicality,” said Rooney, the team chairman. “We have the best field as far as traction that you can have. You didn’t see anybody slip, or very few slips during the year.”
We went and saw Bee Movie at the newly opened Great Escape Theatres Harrisburg Mall 14 earlier today. Their $6.50 matinée and $9.00 adult prices aren’t great, but several aspects of the experience were. Firstly, concessions were not as highly priced as our local Regal Theater. Secondly, the roughly 90-seat theater (#6) we were in had rocker-style seats with foldable armrests and plenty of legroom for this 6′3″ frame. Also notable was room to comfortably accomodate at least four, if not six, patrons in wheelchairs. Thirdly, there was no advertising shown prior to the stated start time. At the start time, 8 minutes of pre-feature advertising, consisting of three movie previews and a Coke commercial were shown. No “Great Escape tells you to turn off your cell phones… please, silence your cell phones” message, no “go back to the lobby and buy some concessions” message. Finally, about a minute into the movie I realized there was no projection artifacts (dust, etc.) in what was being shown and the images were perfectly clear; I think everything was being presented digitally. It blew me away.
Add all this up and you have a superior moviegoing experience than what I’m used to from any other theater in the area. Go check them out.
By the way, Bee Movie was enjoyable, and Ryan loved it. The animation was fantastic and greatly rendered in this fine theater.
Update: I thought I should mention that the West Shore Theatre is our favorite in the area. We recently went there to see The Bourne Ultimatum, and I noticed that they had cleaned or replaced the screen. Mainly due to price and coziness, I have to recommend it most highly.

Mark asks rhetorical question, unless he’s looking for people to change his opinion. I know of at least one critical comment he’s deleted, and based on the comments to this post, there are others.

Beginning this week until the end of the season, the NFL Network holds one game hostage per week.

On this issue, Mark is wrong.

Bill O’Reilly hates “Redacted”, but Fox News ran ads for it during his show. Priceless.
Since I received my iPod Nano 4GB (1st gen), the included earbuds stayed packed in the box. For years I’ve preferred Sony’s in-ear-sideways-based headphones. The cord on my favorite white Sonys started to fray, so I decided to give the Apple earbuds a shot. After slipping on the foam and snugging them in, I have to say they’re not too bad. I’ve listened to a little bit of music on them and might have stronger opinions if that’s all I listened to on them. However, I still use the Nano for podcast listening 95% of the time, so the earbuds will be fine.

I’ve been a Marvel fan for a long time. I read and collected several Marvel titles in the mid-80’s and still have many of them. I’ll probably sample this service.

Right now I’m leaning towards Obama and Edwards myself.

1) Make per-server licensing unavailable on VMs. 2) Release your own Linux/Xen VM solution. 3) PROFIT!

Do I like the NFL Network? Sure. Will I cancel Comcast and move to satellite TV because they won’t move it from their sports tier (which I don’t want)? No.

YES! The Bills score a SNF slot!
