Simply Mah-ve-lous Movies and More

Oh, the joys of life! I just finished putting a few rolls of pictures from CD to my harddisk, and some are really nice shots. I'll put a few on my web site under the Photos section, in case you are interested. I'm fairly new to online publishing, so bear with me while I put up small pics with links to the full-sized images later...

Movie update
I saw the Matrix Reloaded, and I'd say it was both good and bad, at times better than the original, but mostly too much of the overdone 'bullet time' ninja fight scenes, and not enough of the character development I was hoping to see. I'll probably wait to see the Matrix conclusion on VHS or DVD.

Finding Nemo was worth every bit of the admission, even for adults. If you have kids, this is a must-see Disney / Pixar film. Be warned that a couple kids under 2 were a bit scared by the big scenes. My favorite scenes all included the lovable, unforgettable Dory - the fish with a major short-term memory problem. Even Nemo had his lucky fin, which I may have never noticed until his dad pointed it out. Superb character development with all the characters. This will be a must-have for the video collection. Hint - hint, Mom & Dad :)

Work Update
It was a long, productive day at work. With help from Jim and Jeff, I moved two HACMP IBM systems from the host room to the DCX Datacenter. We overcame a couple obstacles, including removing ATM card references, and getting a supposedly redundant power supply replaced. I was pleased with the overall success, and I made a neat-o executive spreadsheet with the status.
