The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor Teaser Trailer on /Film. Looks cool, though almost a bit too mystical-ish for me. The first 2 mummy movies were of course mystical, with the whole mummy-coming-to-life thing of course, and they worked well, so we'll see how Brendan Fraser does this time.

FS-WebDesiGn Blog 2.0 (in spanish) has links to some very nicely done Linux and Ubuntu ID cards. [Via comuNIdad]

Couple of quick Indy links for ya'll

Following up on the release of the new Thunderbird 3 Alpha, lifehacker has a screenshot tour.

Still not convinced about tabs though.

Saw that Thunderbird 3 has an alpha released.... check out the Shredder a1 Release Notes. Oooh! Tabs!

MUST WATCH: Animatronic WALL-E Spotted in LA - Wow, now that's cool!

Found a great article on Capturing Delicate Wisps of Smoke complete with setup, pictures, and video. Good for the photo buffs out there.

IO9 has a nice ditty on how you could Now You Can Have the Real Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy using simple and easily available parts.

Great Twitter + Bash hack. So evil, yet so perfect :)

WorldWide Telescope was released today from Microsoft. If anyone remembers, this is what made Scoble cry.

It makes me cry becuase it is, of course, Windows only (the requirements for Mac are "Microsoft XP SP2 or Vista", ha!). Guess I'll stick with Google Sky for now.

Saw that a flaw in Debian with a fix: New openssl packages fix predictable random number generator. Update quickly, keep yourself safe.

The Google Reader Blog announces that they have a Brand new Google Reader for iPhone. Looking forward to playing with this.

Just a little bit of naughty language, however hilarious is this "Piracy PSA" with McLovin, the geeky guy from Superbad.

IGN has the The X-Files: I Want to Believe Movie Trailer/a>. I know this is a series that most of the young whipper-snappers these days haven't watched, but I'm really excited about it.... a little bit of my childhood being re-given to me. Scully still looks really good too (IMHO) ;)

Via Reddit.com comes this old (judging by the computer pictured) news article (assuming it didn't come from the National Inquirer) about how Hackers can turn your computer into a BOMB (emphasis mine). Nothing better on a monday morning than funny old propaganda!

A new trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has been released.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars trailer over at yahoo...

You can watch the first 7 minutes of SPEED RACER on Yahoo! Movies (including HD links).

SlashFilm has Kung Fu Panda Movie Trailer #2.... looks a bit more amusing this time, maybe something I'd go see on a lazy Saturday.

OpenOffice.org 3.0 Beta Announcement. That is all.

The ETQW 1.5 Changelog is Revealed.... Mostly tweaks, a couple of nice UI changes though.

Random post of a list from another site: The 11 Best Songs from Geek-Movie Soundtracks. Geek + movie + music sounds good to me :)

Shacknews tells me that this morning's interesting news was that Doom 4 is Announced:

"Doom is part of the id Software DNA and demands the greatest talent and brightest minds in the industry to bring the next installment of our flagship franchise to Earth," said id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead in a press release."

This is very interesting. Going to earth = cool. Better engine = a given (the new Tech 5 is presumed). I just really hope that they don't compromise PC performance / controls / gameplay to make it cross platform.... (which the Tech 5 engine is currently able to do).

It'll be interesting.... Doom 3 really excited me, but I didn't love it as much as I thought I should have (but I am also notoriously bad completing single player campaigns...).

Lifehacker has a nice look at how to Turn Your Point-and-Shoot into a Super-Camera using the CHDK hack. It's a non-destructive hack to turn on a bunch of features on your Canon camera. You can hit the download page on their wiki to get a list of supported cameras, or hit the in brief page to get more info. As usual LifeHacker does a great job of boiling it down.

Coding Horror has a nice article on Understanding Model-View-Controller. Well worth the read for people not so up on it like myself.

I'm not 100% sure what kuler is.... it appears to be a way to design and share and rate color mixes. Hard to describe, hit the link (you may need a flash upgrade) and check it out. Interesting stuff from Adobe for sure!

Saw via my RSS this evening that VMware Fusion 2.0 Public Beta 1 Now Available. Highlights are multi-display support (for real), running apps from your boot camp partition, and 3D acceleration. Woot!

SlashFilm points out that there are Three Minutes of Speed Racer available online.

Why So Serious has a new high def trailer.

This is cool... you can play Team Fortress 2, the full game, same as included in the Orange Box for free this weekend. The Team Fortress 2 - Gold Rush promotion is on. I played some Gold Rush last night and have to admit, it was pretty fun. I'm not sure what the details of the promotion are, other than you have to sign up for and install Steam, but it does sound like a good deal (as free things sometimes are). Look for 'arcterex' online and you can come and kick my ass :)

See the R2-D2 Projector in Action from slashfilm. Oh. My. God. I want one!

When I first saw the post about Microsoft Pro Photo Tools V1 I immediately dismissed it as more MS marketing crap, selling "meh" software as the 3rd coming. However, when looking into it a bit more, their Geotagging system looks.... "interesting". I'm a metadata freak, I figure if I can metadata the hell out of something I can always go back later and re-organize or find whatever I need to find. The idea of dropping a photo on a map (a la Flickr's tools) and have it's location/city/state/country/etc data in the IPTC fields really excites me. Looking forward to seeing this when I'm back around a windows machine.

Microsoft Pro Photo Tools also allows photographers to use geotagging for their photos. Geotagging is the ability to "tag" something with location information - and in the case of photos the location of where your photo was taken. You can quickly add location data from a GPS device or Live Search Maps to a photo's metadata.

From LifeHacker comes a good list of Superior Alternatives to Crappy Windows Software.

How to Install VMware Tools on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 under VMware Fusion managed to help me get my vmware tools running on my laptop. Finally found the right combination of magic to get it all working!

Saw last night that there is a new Incredible Hulk trailer out. I wasn't all that interested or excited about this movie, however this trailer makes me feel slightly less "meh" towards it. Edward Norton may just be able to do it as Bruce Banner....
