Noteworthy this week
Some interesting bits to start the week:
- The Children of Hurin, pre-cursor to Lord of the Rings was completed by J.R.R. Tolkien’s son and will be released Tuesday, April 17. I’m putting this one on the list so that I can get on the Tolkein bandwagon this time before they make several blockbuster movies and everyone gets all jaded about it.
- Drive, a new show on Fox is “Lost in a car”, stars Captain Tightpants himself, Nathan Fillion and apparently doesn’t suck.
- Chaos at Virginia Tech where
2030+ students have been killed by a gunman. When is this kind of thing going to end, and why is it happening still? - Last.fm continues to be one of the most useful social tools on the Net in my eyes, and has introduced a handy events section that allows you to see shows by city, those that your friends are attending, and some that are recommended to you based on your musical tastes.
- All the cool kids are going green, and NEC is doing its part by introducing a new eco material for consumer electronics, dubbed ‘bioplastics.’ Not only does it take almost 3/4 less material to make, it’s also fossil fuel-neutral and conducts heat better for more efficient power consumption.
