I don't like to do this on the blog since most of you could give a flip about software development tools, but I've been on this cantankerous kick of venting all my pet peeves lately.
Do you have any idea how many times in the last 17 years of my technology career that I've had to put up with the bullshit marketing tag line "next generation" ? Well, let's chalk up another one. Microsoft has their goofy little new product called Silverlight and, yes, it's the tool for delivering NEXT GENERATION media!!!. Hmmm, funny, I worked with an IDE ( Internet Development Environment ) back in 1998 called SilverStream.
Geez, it all gets so tiresome sometimes. It's just so refreshing when one experiences something truely original. Boy, those times are so far and few between. We live in a society filled with a bunch of robots who do/say the same things everyday. Fortunately, we do have the Independent Film Channel and Sundance to occassionally get our fill of something a bit new and original.
Speaking of something original, Dayna gave me the gift of watching the kids on my birthday so I could go see the movie 3:10 to Yuma. There were many scenes in the movie that reflected stolen ideas from past westerns, but for the most part, the storyline was quite unique. Man, I really enjoyed the movie with its basis surrounding the relationship between a father and son. There is obviously a good bit of violence, but this film had some authentic character to it.
