This week’s biggest geek-gasm was the appearance of the Star Trek trailer before the latest James Bond outing. While the ‘official’ version goes up on the official movie site on Monday, many bootleg versions have been showing up all over the Interwebs.
So why no take-down, DMCA, big scary lawyer letters to Harry Knowles, et. al.? Isn’t that the usual M.O. for Hollywood? Or have they all finally learned how to deal with fanboys?
We’ve learned a lot at Casa de Parmet about living off of the land. This year we started our vegetable garden and also dramatically increased our purchases of organic, locally grown or raised foods. By far our greatest discovery has been local hero John Boy.
So this Thanksgiving, all of the foods on our table will have been grown or raised within a days drive of our home, by people we know. And I’ve even got my eye on some local vinyards for the vino.
It’s important, not only symbolically, but as a practical lesson for our kids in where stuff really comes from. My proudest moment as a budding farmer was watching the Twin Princesses run outside to get lettuce for their sandwiches. I’d be willing to be there aren’t that many other kids at their school who can say they picked their own lunch that morning.
Rumor has it that a certain influential blogger (hint, rhymes with Harrington) is about to unleash a volley in the War Between Bloggers and PR Agencies(tm).
So as not to be caught on the back-end of the TechMeme pile-up, here is my response:
Bleeblee blee blee. Bloo bloo blah blah blah. Bleeeeee. Blooo. Blah.
Yadda yadda yadda.
Whatever.
Thank you.
I needs me some MST3K, so in honor of the 20th anniversary of the Satellite of Love, here’s Hired! Part 1
and Part 2
