firecat	5:52p	AKICIDW/LJ: sync mac laptop and desktop? I need to sync a few folders between a mac laptop and a mac desktop. What should I use? I have a lot of storage available on my web hosting site. I am willing to shell out for .mac or mobileme or whatever the latest such thing is, if it's easy. rsync has already been suggested. I could do it that way, but after looking at the man page, I decided I don't want to think that hard. (7 Comments |Comment on this)
firecat	1:16a	I Am Legend by Richard Matheson I didn't expect much from the book that inspired George Romero to make Night of the Living Dead (I am not a fan of zombies), but I was pleasantly surprised. Published in 1954, I Am Legend had a huge influence on the modern vampire and zombie horror genres. The story focuses exclusively on the activities and inner dialogue of a man who believes he is the last survivor of a plague that infected all other humans with a zombie-ish form of vampirism. The book is well written and doesn't pull any punches. The survivalism/vampire trope is basically an excuse to explore human emotion in all its variety. Trivia note: Richard Matheson also wrote the Star Trek:TOS first-season episode "The Enemy Within." View all my goodreads.com reviews >> (9 Comments |Comment on this)

firecat	4:15p	star trek: tos remastered boo! We've been watching Star Trek: TOS on DVD via Netflix. We got through season 1 and partway into season 2 but for some reason we missed my favorite season 2 episode ("Amok Time," of course). Now Netflix has gotten rid of all the original DVDs of this series and has replaced them with the "remastered in HD, with new CGI" DVDs. I hate the idea of "new CGI." I'm trying to decide whether to buy the original DVDs (they are discontinued but can be purchased used for an exorbitant price) or to suck it up and continue with the remastered DVDs. Have you watched any of the remastered-with-new-CGI DVDs? What are they like? Have they spoiled all the wonderfully lousy effects of the original? Have they removed the infuriating soft-focus around every single closeup of an attractive woman? Does Han still shoot first? (8 Comments |Comment on this)
