So Monday night was another 27Dinner.
I was a minute or so late, so I just ran in and grabbed the first available seat. It was only then that I noticed I had not only gatecrashed the Cerebra table (again), but also stole the seat intended for Craig Nicholson. He got revenge by immortalizing my nose [...]
Started by three former employees of Google, Cuil (which they want you to pronounce as “cool”) claims to be the world’s biggest search engine, indexing more pages than everybody else put together.

Based on the David Nicholls novel Starter for Ten, the movie tells the story of Brian Jackson - a working-class British kid who [...]
I recently watched the movie Jumper. The movie was terrible, but it turned out that the books are great.
Jumper and Reflex are books by Steven Gould. They tell the story of how Davy discovers his ability to teleport, and how that affects him, his loved ones and his society.
Unfortunately the movie was only loosely [...]
