I am writing this from my brand new toy, a 12 inch powerbook!

Just thought I would take the time to point you good people to Newsforge.  WordPress's own wonderboy Skippy aka Scott Merill is the newest addition to those penning articles for newsforge.

If you are the praying kind, please read the following and do what you feel is appropriate.

You will have to forgive me if there seems to be a lot of worts and blemishes around here lately, I am upgrading the site to the bleeding edge of WordPress, and sometimes things get a little wonky.

I have completed around 95% of the work for my latest plugin/hack combo.

Just thought I would drop a line, lest you think I don't care about my readers anymore!

In the history of "guy" movies, there has been only one that could ever hope to claim the top spot as the very essence of what a guy movie should be, according to me of course.  And that movie is one that centers around the story of an Italian Stallion, Rocky Balboa.

I have thought long and hard about what film could claim this distinctive honor and I must say it was truly a grueling task.  In the annals of film history there have been many very good guy movies.  Let's take a look at the films that made my top 5:

• Rocky: Of course no 1 is Rocky, cause I just said that.  Sheesh.
• The Godfather: This was a tough choice really, but I think that Rocky still wins for many reasons I will cover shortly.
• The Dirty Dozen: Jim Brown, running with grenades... do I really need to say more?
• The Seven Samurai: The quintessential action movie, but wrapped within its layers lurk valour, sacrifice and honor.
• The Quiet Man: Now I am sure that many a' man will disagree with me, but I think that this is my favorite movie of all time and more than worthy to be listed here.

Now lets look at each movie in a bit more detail, note: the IMdb ratings are rounded up for ease of HTML entity use.

To my worthy adversary Victor I Emperor of America,

I have updated the Sillystore at Cafepress with postcards made using this photo from my time at Holy Trinity Cathedral in Chicago.

Now we comes the part where we throw in some cache-action.  Brought to you by the Dynamic Duo Mattman and Zeller the Boy Wonder.  Now Staticize Reloaded is not the best thing since sliced bread, but it is pretty great regardless.
