I waited a bit to do this review, mainly because I’d heard it through the grapevine that we were all supposed to keep our keyboards closed after the screening I attended.
The Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar here in Austin played host to the first public screening of Disney/Pixar’s WALL-E, with a big thanks to Harry Knowles for continuing to bring us fantastic opportunities like this.
But, enough time has passed, and I’ve just gotta’ say it: Wall-E is magnificent.
Everything you could imagine wanting from this film, you’re going to get, and so much more that you probably never saw coming.
The time had come to change my online portfolio. Previous editions were seperated into a FILM site and a Graphic Design site, as these are the two major things I do. At least, for a living. Both of these just sat on my server, with nary a change at all, since I relocated to Austin in July of 2007. But then, there was a little bit of extortion, and I was forced into action.
What’s Mine is Mine, bro!
One of my domain names had lapsed. Only a few days, but eitherway, I’d just simply forgotten to renew it. So I headed over to WHOIS, and typed in the URL, and lo and behold, it was still registered to me. I called the world’s largest, biggest, ugliest logo’d, and gaudily advertised domain registrar in the world, GoDaddy, and asked them what steps needed to be taken.
I figured there’d be a nominal fee, but considering they charge $8.99 for domain name registration, it couldn’t be more than $19.95 or similar, right? Wrong.
