Heath Ledger, star of Brokeback Mountain and the upcoming The Dark Knight, has been found dead in a Manhattan apartment. The apparent cause of death was some form of cardiac arrest as that’s what the call came into police as at 2:27 PM EST.
Considering he was only 28, I hate to say it, but I’m calling drugs on this one. I hope I’m wrong, I sincerely do, but seeing as pills were found in the vicinity of the bed, things don’t look hopeful for it to be anything else.
When are actors going to learn? How many have to die in such silly, frivolous ways before they realize they are doing nothing but throwing away their lives? Ledger was an amazing, rising talent. His turn in Brokeback Mountain, no matter your view of the subject matter may be, was amazing. What little of him as The Joker from The Dark Knight that has been seen looks equally genius. He had a long and bright future ahead of him, I despise the idea he may have intentionally ...

I’ve been trying to remember things, CLEARLY remember things, from my past, but the more I try to think back, the more it all starts to unravel. None of it seems real. It’s like I&... more
When the first Batman television show came out in 1966, the Caped Crusader, played by actor Adam West donned a simple, light gray unitard suit with a black cape, belt and of course, the half-faced mask that mysteriously disguised his identity from his human character, Bruce Wayne. With the progression of the Batman chronicles, however, the Dark Knight Batsuit has progressed from simple and little detail to an amazing multi-faceted armor suit designed to ward off bullets, bombs and invisible ga... more
This is one of the coolest mash-ups I’ve ever seen. Woody is almost perfectly in sync with The Joker in every scene. Just fantastic. There are a handful of other Disney meets The Dark Knight videos up on YouTube, but none are as good as this one. Check those out in the related videos once you’ve finished this one.

If one is paid for blogging, this makes them a professional. Since blogging is a news source, this makes them, in theory, professional journalists. One would hope that bloggers would keep this in mind as they go about their jobs, and act accordingly.
The Consumer Electronics Show, for the very first time, gave press credentials to bloggers, and even gave them their own lounge. This was a major step for bloggers into the realm of acceptance, and one we should have treated with some respect.... more
I had to buy a new keyboard last week as my much beloved Microsoft Natural met with a cup of coffee. It had given me a lot of good years, but I was still sad to see it go. I did have a back-up, but they had changed the cursor keys to this insane design that I have no clue how anyone uses them comfortably. So, off I went on a hunt for a new keyboard and decided to go with the Microsoft Natural Ergo Keyboard 4000.
Why do I keep going for Microsoft hardware? Well, I think their software pretty... more
