Think The Danes Are Always Cheerful? Think Again
I saw Terribly Happy (Frygtelig lykkelig) at Scandinavia Film Festival LA tonight, and I really loved the movie.  It’s dark, funny and insightful all at the same time.  The movie is about a cop who was reassigned from Copenhagen to a very small in Denmark in South Jutland after a nervous breakdown.  He tried to cope with being the marshall of this tight knit community as a means to get...

Boxee Box Demo at CES 2010 →
Forget about Roku.  Boxee is where it’s at in 2010!  Twitter, Facebook, Netflix… and is that BBC logo I see?  Where’s Amazon Video On Demand?!

When 140 characters are not enough...
The last two weeks have been EPIC in so many ways.  I have met so many new friends and reconnected with old ones, and was able to spend some quality time with most of them.  Among some of my favorite memories over the last two weeks over Christmas and New Year’s:- I spent New Year’s Eve with my best girlfriend at one of my favorite local haunts.  I had such a fabulous time!   Hung...
