Bond! Cheap!

Amazon's Gold Box Deal of the Day offers the James Bond Ultimate Collector's Set for $89.95 (69% off)! That includes every movie up to Casino Royale (I'm assuming the price drop is because there will soon be an "even more ultimate" set with Quantum of Mediocrity included). At this price (assuming you've got the dough to spare), you should buy a bunch as gifts. Or at least one. For someone who might have a birthday in fifteen days. Not to name names or drop hints or anything.

The same page also offers the six-movie Blu-Ray Bond Collection for $64.95 (64% off), a price that, sadly, confirms why I still haven't had an urge to make the leap to Blu-Ray yet (when list prices drop to DVD range, I'll consider it, maybe).

ETA: Also, the current Lightning Deal (for the next three hours) is the David Lean Collection, featuring Lawrence of Arabia, Bridge on the River Kwai, and A Passage to India for $21.99 (55% off).

Because Ottawa offers the world more than just Charles de Lint

I blame modpixie for pointing out this video:

Well, that's a typo for the ages

While writing about how much I hate the video for Lady Sovereign's "I Got You Dancing," a video that proves that referencing one of the greatest movies of all time isn't enough to make up for a craptacular song, I attempted to list some of the gangs from that movie.

For the record, I'd be damned scared if I ever ran into a gang called the Baseball Furries.

But I don't think that's what Walter Hill had in mind.

*grumble*

I have $125 worth of freelance work to bill.

Company's POS proprietary billing web app only works in IE under Windows. No Firefox, no Safari, no Opera, etc.

My copy of Parallels, for whatever reason, will not find the network today.

So I cannot invoice.

Grr. Arg.

There is a special circle of hell for folks who needlessly design webapps so that they only work in one browser.
