So. Frakking. Cool.

I bought a new mouse today. Without even looking, I grabbed the first USB mouse under $20 that I could find. When I got it home, I discover:
1. It is red.
2. It feels like velvet - but it's some kind of coating on most of the surfaces.
3. It lights up - but not just boring red or green, this is a flashing red - yellow - orange - green - blue - purple array in random order AND
4. Coolest of all, the flashing matches the speed at which I move and/or click the mouse.

So. Frakking. Cool.

Gene on the Hunt again.

Ashes to Ashes starts tonight in the UK - and Dreamwatch SF has an interview with Philip Glenister.

This quote caught my eye:
"I think one of the reasons Gene works is his complete lack of self-awareness."

That is a very great insight into Gene Hunt's likeability, I think!

We haven't even had Life on Mars S2 here so I am not sure if we'll get this for a long while yet. I hope Ashes to Ashes does well.

(And yes, the music choice was very deliberate.)

Watchmen continues to sound good

Two more set reports here and here continue to keep me hoping this movie won't be another LoEG disaster! Snyder really seems to be keeping close to the source material, both in spirit and look.

Fingers crossed!
