It’s true; Yahoo! bought Tumblr.

Which means if you’re a Yahoo user…you’re just finding this out (haha) and if you’re a Tumblr user you’re outraged.
So after you’ve calmed down, from what I’ve gathered, it seems that Y! has no interest in changing anything about our beloved blogging site. They realize, much like PhillyD said; “the product is people”. In this case, if Yahoo! were to make drastic changes to this site it would scare off users…and why would they want that when they just paid $1.1b for it???
Some are scared that things will end up like Geocities. I had a Geo page, and it killed itself. Eventually sites like that (and other partners of Y!) naturally became irrelevant because they were centered around a gimmick.
Worst case scenario (and I use this lightly) Tumblr become a little more “family friend” which will cause more people to simply move over to WordPress. That’s what I’ll end up doing too, if this go too far south…
Everything is connected, old sport.
The GREAT GATSBY [movie] Review
:: Now I haven’t read the book, but I went into it with the understand that the movie isn’t actually about Gatsby, or rather shouldn’t be. It’s about the narrator, the one who experiences Gatsby. And I think Luhrman captured this in his classic beautiful fashion. If you’re familiar with his work on Romeo and Juliet, you know how amazing the teamup of Baz/Leo can be!
Anyway, I spent most of the movie simply captivated by DiCaprio’s performance. It’s almost as if his longing for “the green light” is his never ending journey for an Oscar…
It’s visually stunning, the soundtrack had my head bobbing the whole time, and the charm of each character mixed with the directorial view had me sunk deep into the world they had created.
See it, old sport…
VESSELS of VERITAS: SOUL’D 2013
:: Snagged some footage of my boys in VoV at this years youth ministry event in Altona, MB
Today was the perfect start to a long weekend…
Woke up early, feeling refreshed. It was raining, the windows were open so there was a crisp chill that smelled like nature, and I was cozy under a pile of blankets.
I made breakfast, played video games, and did some reading. Cleaned the house, tended to the other living things (that aren’t my roommate) in the house, and started on a new project.
Some friends came over, we made dinner (steak, spuds, bacon, and suds) and took off to see the new StarTrek.
Spent some pipe time with the roomie, and now I’m going to curl up with my heater and pwn some digital n00bs.

STAR TREK: INTO DARKNESS [movie] Review
*SPOILER ALERT*
:: It’s kind of surreal that the 2nd review I ever blogged was for JJ Abrams first attempt at a ST movie, and now here we are again. So then, shall we begin?
The first question I got from people was “is it better than IronMan3” and yes, it is. The second was “what’s a Tribble?” which right away should clue you in that THERE ARE THINGS IN THIS MOVIE THAT RELATE DIRECTLY BACK TO THE ORIGINAL MOVIES. Remember how they changed the timeline in #1, yup, that didn’t change everything in the universe. Tribbles are still a thing (though they only make a small appearance) and a familiar face pops up, with a twist. That being said, I urge you to first go back and at least watch the first two original ST movies…*ahem*…the second one being “Wrath of Khan”…..*cough*…..for no reason………..
I loved that they continued with the sequel-but-only-because-of-different-timeline thing. It makes twists that you THINK will happen that much juicer. And it makes the ending that much more white knuckling!
I don’t really have that much more to say about it. It’s funny, Spock is the friggin man, lots of things to pew, Alive Eve is a babe, and that Sherlock dude…Slapperbotch…or…whatever it is…has the coolest voice in the world!
SHUT UP AND LISTEN!!!
:: I love being surprised by Facedown, reminds me of when I would fanboy over their whole roster. Nowadays I’m that old dude trying to figure out who the heck all these one-name hxc bands are. People still listen to FigureFour right???

TONIGHT!!!
Skip seeing StarTrek for one more night, and come hangout with people that want to talk about real issues that affect our lives.
Blockbusters will always exist, the opportunity to meet with real people and have real conversations is dwindling these days…
