  1. I started this earlier today. I'm not too far in since I had to go to work, but it picks up about two months after the movie. I downloaded the audio book since Kristen Bell was reading it and I thought I would get that TV show narration feel.

  2. I can't even comprehend 2048 Numberwang. But my co-worker just showed me Doge2048 which was about the level of my mental capacity this morning.

  3. I posted in another thread that maybe they are in the same Google+ circles and maybe there was some weird Android picture auto-sync thing going on. My phone pulled down work contacts pictures from Facebook somehow sometime (even though we weren't friends) and now I have really weird pics when they call.

  4. I was driving down I-75 on the way to Florida when the link to the download came in. Even though I wanted to pull over and watch it right then, I had to wait until last night. I don't have a lot to add to the discussion since I am coming in late, but it was great!

    Some thoughts:

    It was great seeing Weevil again, but unless there is a larger plan to have this resolved in the book series, it would have been better to leave him out and not have Celeste shoot him for no reason. But, maybe Mac is at Kaine Software for a reason and there are PLANS.

    The bit with Leo and the pizza was great but it was hard for me not to see Schmidt.

    And strangely, I didn't hate Piz. I felt kind of bad for him.

    I haven't listened to the EHG yet where they talk about the movie, but I read a comment about Dave maybe having a problem with Logan's name and number being on her phone. I justified this in my head as them being friends on Google+ or something and her contacts syncing somehow.  This happened to my phone with Facebook and it was weird.

     

    On Audible, it has Kristen Bell listed as the narrator for the audio book, so that's going to require a listen.

  5. Hey all,

    Some of you may be interested in an online class that is about to start. I took the last one called "Gender in Comics" and the next one is "Social Issues Through Comic Books". It's free, it's a mooc as the kids are calling in these days, and it is an excuse to read comics and feel like you may be learning something.

    If it is like the last one, you will read some assigned comics available through comixology or elsewhere, maybe read an academic paper or two, watch a few clips of the teacher, and then there will be a live interview with the comic creator via youtube. It was fun.

    The teacher suggested that you organize into smaller discussion groups, so if anyone on the previously.tv forums happens to be taking it, let me know because I am looking for a discussion group.

    All the info you might need is here: http://www.supermooc.org/ or you can jump straight to signup

    It starts on March 10!

    (I just found the list of this year's comics in the syllabus.)

  6. I got a perfect score once in Superhero Comics. I had big dreams of moving my way up the ranks and then petered out at Level 31. Haven't played in a month or more.

  7. When Doctor Who came back in 2005, I thought Rose was great. I think her and Nine were fun together. But the Rose+Ten stuff did get pretty sappy towards the end for me. I never started to hate her, and I would totally watch a spin-off of her and Clone Ten in the alternate universe if it ever popped up.

    Spoiler for 50th Anniversary:

    I liked her appearance in the 50th as the weapon, but I did sort of want to see the real Rose back for a bit and see how her and Eleven got on.
