Sorry about lack of updates. Too many sites/weblogs to keep up and running. Just posted our second annual Top Ad Music of 2005 list over at Adtunes.com. As always, the keyword here is memorable, which isn't the same thing as good.

My friend keeps reminding me that I should update this weblog to mention my move back to my hometown of Huntsville Alabama was successful. Since then my time has been occupied with finding a house. It's been frustrating so far since other buyers are moving so quickly on good listings that I see -- as a first time home buyer I seem to be moving much slower than everyone else in making offers, etc.

I'm moving back to my hometown of Huntsville Alabama in order to be closer to my family. (Working in web development doesn't require being in Los Angeles.) I will definitely miss the dry/pleasant Southern California weather -- but not the earthquakes.

Posterwire.com is a movie poster weblog that offers movie poster images, poster news, and other useful film one-sheet information.

For this WordPress based weblog I decided to experiment with designing an all CSS and table-free web site. As some of you may know, all the cool kids scoff at the use of tables in web site design. The CSS snobs would have you believe that there is an unadulterated land where all matter of standards, browsers, and web content fall in line to the mighty power of CSS. Bullshit. For me, at least, the CSS-only site is just as unreliable, kludgey, ugly in markup, and generally a pain to code as any evil sliced table monster. Box hacks, floater div bugs, hiding CSS through browsers quirks, and so on, it's a lot to manage. Granted, I'm no web designer (still trying to get the site to validate), but it seems the answer lies in the middle, using both CSS and tables.

By now most of you have probably seen the trailer of the upcoming film The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the long awaited film adaptation of the Douglas Adams classic sci-fi comedy novel. What you may not have seen is the so-called exclusive internet only trailer for the film, which is far superior to the previous spots. Kudos to the ad agency that cut the trailer -- it manages to be both entertaining and an accurate synopsis of standard movie trailer conventions, format, and clichés. It's unfortunate that this "internet only" film trailer probably won't be seen in theatres and reach a wider audience. Perhaps it will be included as an extra on the eventual DVD release.

We just posted our first annual Top 10 Ad Music of 2004 list over at Adtunes.com. The year-end list covers memorable music used in TV commercials throughout the year.

Here is an oldie but goodie: "I Know Where Bruce Lee Lives" is billed as "the ultra-interactive kungfu-remixer in 750 pixel wide-screen format". The Shockwave Flash remixer uses different images, music, and sounds from various Bruce Lee films, all triggered via the mouse and keyboard. You can even record and playback your own compositions.

The Digital Bits offers up a visual side-by-side comparison of the Star Wars Trilogy 2004 DVD Changes. More unnecessary tinkering by Lucas -- and Greedo still shoots first. One audio change of note is the redubbing of all of Boba Fett's lines by Attack of the Clones actor, Temuera Morrison, who played Jango Fett (makes sense, as Boba was a clone, but still another unwelcomed nonetheless.) The Star Wars Trilogy DVD set goes on sale September 21st.
