Wow...

A new Peter Greenaway film about Tulse Luper!!!

Tulse Luper Suitcases: The Moab Story, The

Unfortunately, this movie is likely to appeal to about 20 people on the planet, all of them film geeks. I love Greenaway, but I do understand that he's an acquired taste. And the original Tulse Luper film (Vertical Features 1,2,3) just about takes a degree in film theory before you get the jokes (I thought it was funny, but I know I missed *a lot*).

I'm crossing my fingers that someone decides to distribute this and it makes it here, even if only the Wex, or a one week Drexel run. However, this is most likely a lost cause because it seems he's planning somewhere between 3 & 16 parts to this.

Forget the cupholder...

...my laptop has a lotion warmer.

Or at least it seems that way. All of our developer class laptops have a
tendancy to run a bit hot, right where your left hand is when typing. I've
nearly exploded ink pens by leaving them on the desk too close to that side
of the laptop. But today I discovered a nice side effect. I left my little
bottle of Burt's Bees Milk & Honey lotion too close and it was delightfully
warm when I used it. A nice remedy for having numb hands this time of year,
no matter the room temperature.

I think Compaq needs to start marketing this feature!
