Eric Akawie 2006-05-05T13:05+00:00 The BBC has announced that they are doing a remake of The Prisoner, starring Christopher Eccelston.

Okay, it's a cliche by now, but Fantastic!

Now they just need to greenlight a Blake's 7 revival.

It's also the funniest:

...

The only man in the history of Star Fleet

to wear a Red Shirt and live tell the tale

You're now wearing a white uniform

kind of like those queer uniforms in the first Star Trek movie

Only with a insignia in the shape of a Jesus Fish

and a phaser set to "love."

And you're not fat anymore

Eric Akawie 2005-07-14T01:07+00:00 This site is filled with dozens of downloadable remixes of the Doctor Who theme song.

Among my favorites: Elegy for Doctor No. 9 but there are all kinds of odd and interesting experiments to be found.

And if you can track it down, Orbital's live performance is worth a listen.

I think Wonka has the advantage inside his factory, but on the streets of London Mary takes him down.

Witty, funny and oddly moving. Who knew Lord Vader had such depth.

If it just weren't for that trachea-crushing fetish of his.

Eric Akawie 2005-04-18T14:04+00:00 Adobe is buying Macromedia. This unites two of my least favorite web technologies: PDF and Flash.

Note: PDF has some great advantages as a document format. I just hate it for web-based applications. Opening a PDF inevitably freezes my browser for up to 2-3 minutes.

It's kind of an attempt to merge the raging success of blogs with the utter lack of long-term success of Social Networks like Friendster and Orkut.

And boy is it ugly.
