Indiana Jones

OK, I admit it. I was IN before I saw the trailer. I am a sucker for bigger-than-life adventure. Opening night now, I think. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull looks like another great installment. Too bad Denholm Elliott couldn't be in it.

I didn’t know what a “tag cloud” was but I kinda like it now that I have one. See the column to the far right towards the top. I’ve only tagged 2008 entries so far. As time permits, I’ll get to the rest of them.

A spectacular thunderstorm blew through CrabAppleLane last night as I was trying to get to sleep. Amazing that we didn’t lose power. We did lose our local HD channels on our DirecTV but resetting the receiver resolved that. The new DirecTV satellite systems are a little delicate in that regard. We seem to be resetting the receiver once or twice per week.

The spam flood I spoke of yesterday has abated considerably but I will leave comment moderation on for another day or two. I’ll check in periodically so that legitimate and valuable comments get published without much delay. No combination of keywords or filters could stop the spam and the majority of it was getting through and getting published.

Quote from said blog: "Been a slow Indy news week since the release of the much anticipated trailer…which if you haven’t seen the international version, which is slightly different, check it out here at AICN. That doesn’t mean there hasn’t been news."
