CNN.com did a re-design this morning, which it's always jarring when a website you use all the time changes format. But then considering they haven't really done a big redesign since 2000, I suppose it was about time.
I'm really like the new Owl City - Fireflies song.
The Austin Film Festival started on Thursday, and I've already gone to see 4 movies in the two nights they've been screening so far. Thursday I saw Serious Moonlight (quite good, and darker than you think a romcom would be) and Youth in Revolt (funny, but got annoying after a while). Then yesterday saw Precious (REALLY good, but a very heavy kind of movie) and Harmony and Me (was just alright). The interesting thing about the last movie was at the Q&A with the director and some of the actors, the director threw a tantrum at the quality of the projection, and refused to answer any questions (even calling them "pointless") and just whined the entire time. Interestingly he was the cover story in this week's Austin Chronicle, and he comes off as a jerk in that interview too.
And after how many years (?), phone makers have finally decided to standardize on a cell phone charger standard, the micro-USB cable. Well duh! At least most every cell phone now days can be charged via a mini-USB cable, it's so much easier to plug it into my computer with a universal cable than hoping I didn't forget the special charger and then hunt for a wall socket to plug it into.
