I’m Reading…The incredible (and somewhat predictable) success of Avatar at the box office (and the Golden Globes) has everyone talking about a sequel to Avatar. In fact, this quote from James Cameron suggests a trilogy: To some it’s a mashup of “Dancing With Wolves” and “Ferngully: The Last Rainforest.” But James Cameron’s “Avatar” has stormed the [...]

In keeping with my theme this week of blogging observations, this one ties together a basic tenet that I learned from science fiction in my pre-teen years, and applies it to product management. The concept is borrowed from “The End of Eternity“, one of the classic science fiction novels from Isaac Asimov. The book imagines [...]

Before I get into this, let me just warn that this post contains spoilers. Don’t read any further if you haven’t seen the new Star Trek movie. Or at least, don’t read any further and then complain to me. First off, I know that the movie is doing really well. I also know that almost [...]

I know I posted on this topic last week, but I thought I’d add an update after the big Battlestar Galactica debut this past Friday. Interesting to see how frak parties everywhere translated into traffic. So far, despite the debut on Friday, it looks like my traffic may have peaked yesterday, on Saturday. 5380 hits [...]

Can you tell that Battlestar Galactica starts its final season in just ten days? You can if you look at my blog stats… Over 200 hits to the post “The Fifth & Last Cylon” yesterday alone. I’m even getting referral links from O’Reilly! Love it. No matter how I try to diversify this blog, ever [...]

It’s late on Christmas Eve, but what better present to unwrap than 13 glorious minutes of Battlestar Galactica that summarizes the entire series in one fail swoop? Sci Fi: Catch the Frak Up! This type of snarky, quick-fix summary became big a few years ago as studios struggled with ways to get audiences to pick [...]

Is it just me, or does the 2009 Star Trek restart look like the creators of Smallville had a hand in it? Judge for yourself. How very Gen Y. I’m excited to see the hip, young remake of Star Wars announced any day now.

Look, don’t read this if you are worried about spoilers. Seriously. Why are you even reading a post about the Fifth Cylon if you aren’t curious, right? The number of people who read my blog always surprises me. What surprises me even more is that almost everyone who tells me this asks when I’m going [...]

I really have nothing more to add to this. * For those of you who aren’t Star Trek fans, Wil Wheaton played the fairly annoying boy genius Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

From Eric Cheng’s blog: I’m not a LOLCATS fan, and I don’t own cats, but I do love a good Dune reference.

Great comment on my original Battlestar Galactica post, from rebelsnoopy: rebelsnoopy, on June 7th, 2008 at 1:52 am Said: From reading peoples theories about who the last Cylon is. People always assume that whomever it is will suffer while they are seeking redemption. Hybrid prophecy/Razor: “And the fifth, though still in the shadow yet clawing [...]

There is an extended interview with Ron Moore, writer/creator of the new Battlestar Galactica, on Wired. Definitely worth reading. One fun snippet: Wired: You mentioned TiVo. Do you think you benefited from DVD box sets, TiVo timeshifting, the ability for people to go watch all of season one? Moore: Absolutely. It’s a totally different world, [...]

This is the problem with getting busy and not posting for two weeks. What was an insightful and debatable claim is now fairly obvious. Still, I felt I had to write this post, given all the excitement two weeks ago about someone “cracking” the Entertainment Weekly “Last Supper” photo from earlier in the year. You [...]

If you don’t like spoilers, stop reading now. Seriously. I don’t want any whiny complaints. You are lucky I didn’t put more in my title. There is a very good write-up on BuddyTV. It’s worth reading. Let’s summarize what was great about the third episode of this season: Cylon civil war heats up. This could [...]
