In Search of Tomorrow Watchlist

by

This is a list of films planned (as of May 2020) to be referenced in the upcoming documentary In Search of Tomorrow. I got curious as to how many I’d seen.

Key:

☑️ = I’ve seen it at some point, though it’s been a while and impressions may be colored by time.
✅ = I’ve seen it recently or often enough to have a reasonably current impression of it.
📀 = I have a copy in my personal collection.

    • The Latter Fire by James Swallow 📚: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: A somewhat predictable primary antagonist, but balanced with a very interesting major threat to all parties. ➡

    • Year 50 Day 17 Getting older? Inevitable. Wiser? I hope so. More mature? Not if I can help it. ➡

    • More goodies! The movies are birthday presents from Prairie’s mom (we’ll have to let her know what she got me), the book I’ve had on preorder for months. Our plan is to find time to watch the Jurassic Park trilogy before seeing Jurassic World. No real reason for the Pirates series other than that we ... Read more ➡
    • Just got a nice present from one of the graduating LAJ students. She did the bird etching herself. :) ➡
  • 2014
    • Hanging out in Prairie’s office as she finishes up the day. Not grumpy, just being amused at the white patches on my chin. :) ➡
  • 2010
  • 2009
    • Still Awkward After All These Years Yesterday I was interviewed by a reporter for ABC News who was working on an article about AFP and the reactions from people who've stumbled across their photos on the site, and the article went live this morning! It features both of the shots of our family that are on AFP, and my part of the article comprises a fair chunk of the last third or so. ➡
    • Links for May 16th through May 19th Sometime between May 16th and May 19th, I thought this stuff was interesting. You might think so too! • Geek Girls Network Interview: Shannon Flowers From Seattle Geekly • Zoo's Penguins Finally on View • Fox Abandons Experiment to Air Fewer Ads • It's Terminal: A Dozen Scenes of Early Office Computing • Reinventing Star Trek's VFX ➡
  • 2007
    • Wamu Sees All! Last September, I put these eyes on a small sign at the driveway in to the Northgate Washington Mutual bank. Last night, as I was walking home from work, I noticed that eight months later, they're still there. This makes me rather ridiculously pleased with the universe. ➡
  • 2006
    • Let’s Go Fly A Kite I took advantage of yesterday's gorgeous weather to stop by Carkeek Park. This guy was practicing with a mid-size kite -- larger than normal, but not large enough to go kite surfing with. Lots of fun to watch! ➡
  • 2005
    • Feed types Looking at the Google AdSense for Feeds announcement, Scoble takes a moment to rank the various basic types of feeds that can be produced now. Dead-on, I'd say. ➡
    • Hi there! It's raining pretty decently right now, so I ducked into the Convention Center on my way home for lunch. Walking past the lower level shops on my way to the elevator, I spotted a girl in the beauty salon sitting with a pomeranian propped up in her lap. ➡
    • May Meetup May Meetup report, I've got a doppelganger running around town, and Star Wars fans are fun to photograph. All in all, not a bad evening! ➡
  • 2004
    • If only I had a bit more under my belt As much as I enjoy being something of a 'jack-of-all-trades' in my computer experience -- lots of experience across a wide range of fields -- the downside is a lack of comprehensive knowledge in nearly any field. ➡
    • Bad code! No biscuit! Sorry, guys, but if I'm seeing three cringeworthy examples of bad HTML code within the first couple seconds of visiting your page, you could have a program that makes BBEdit look like Microsoft FrontPage and I wouldn't be able to take it seriously. ➡
    • Good point I'd rather be shot than vote for bush at gunpoint. After all, i can recover from a gunshot wound in, say, a couple months. Voting for bush, well, that takes four years. ➡
    • Silly quiz time! Old school punk! You just say what you have to say regardless of what everyone else thinks! You're one of my most favourite types of music…. You're raw and uncut! You're surrounded by hype…just don't let it make you go insane… ➡
    • iRaq There's an interesting bit of anti-war postering going on in New York right now… ➡
    • Mac OS X vulnerability News broke across the 'net over the past day or so that there is a verifiable, serious security threat under Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) involving Safari and the Help viewer application. ➡
  • 2003
    • Bush's hydrogen plan According to this Kalilly post, Bush has figured out how to seem environmentally conscious while still screwing over the planet. ➡
    • Patron Saint of… There's a good chance that dad knows that Francis Xavier is the patron saint of the archdiocese Indianapolis, Indiana. He might even know that Therese of Lisieux is the patron saint of the diocese of Fairbanks, Alaska. ➡
    • Geeze, that's a big-ass cube. One trillion pennies would form a cube 273 feet to a side. That's roughly half the height of the Washington Monument. The cube would weigh approximately 3,125,000 pounds. Now, just to boggle your mind a bit further: multiply that cube by 100 times, and you'd have the number of pennies that the Department of Defense can't account for. ➡
    • Water shutoff Oh, this is good -- our building has a 30-day shutoff notice from the water utility posted on the front door. ➡
    • Getting personal An interesting article in the NYT today about the pros and cons of getting personal with weblogs, something I occasionally struggle with. ➡
    • Ari Fleischer resigns I informed President Bush last week that after 21 years of doing nothing but government and politics...that I have decided that my time has come to leave the White House. And I will leave later this summer, most likely in July. ➡

    • Top 12 Things A Klingon Programmer Would Say Seeing as how old school programmers think like Klingon programmers, I believe that it can be reasonably assumed that all old programmers are Klingon. ➡
  • 2004
    • Battling the blahs There's a certain odd irony in that spring, when the days are getting longer, temperatures are getting warmer, and the world is getting greener also tends to be something of a difficult time for me. (Warning: long, rambling, self-indulgent, and quite possibly slightly whiny babbling follows. You've been warned...) ➡
    • Moving towards reinstating the draft It may not be much longer before the draft is back in action — inactive Army reservists are getting notified that they're next on deck to be called back to service. ➡
    • White House clearing national policy with apocalyptic fundamentalists It was an e-mail we weren't meant to see. ➡
    • Spitting Image returning? One of the best discoveries I made when visiting England during the mid-80's (sometime around 1985 or '86, I think) was Spitting Image, a BBC political satire show using latex puppet caricatures of political figures. Now it looks like Spitting Image may be coming back! ➡
  • 2003
    • ACLU report on post 9/11 suppression of dissent I haven't read this yet (it's pushing 2am, and bed is sounding better and better all the time), but the ACLU has released a report on the suppression of dissent in the US since Sept. 11th, 2001. ➡
    • Howard Dean interview There's a good interview with Howard Dean over at LiberalOasis. Dean continues to talk a very good line — I only hope that if elected, he follows through. So far, I've yet to see anything to convince me he wouldn't, but it's quite hard to tell at this point. ➡
    • Almost perfect This babble brought to you courtesy of the fact that as I've been posting rather sporadically for the past week, I need some filler posts on the main page so that my site doesn't look too tweaky. ➡
    • The Matrix has me! I've been in complete Matrix mode for most of this weekend — saw the sequel Thursday night, watched the original yesterday with Prairie, and then went back to see the sequel again tonight. ➡
  • 2002
    • More fun with conspiracies So -- here we have conclusive evidence that the US knew about the 9-11 attacks not just weeks or months, but years before they happened -- there are hidden pictures of both the Pentagon and World Trade Center attacks hidden on the new $20 bill! ➡
  • 2001
    • Off to Fairbanks! Well, my rides on the way. Don't know if I'll be updating at all while I'm in Fairbanks, so this may be my last post for a few days. If so -- see y'all (whoever you may be) when I get back! ➡
    • How Hollywood sees us ...all of you are just simple-minded dumbasses with tiny brains and limited exposure who are so used to 'checking your brains at the door' that your gray matter has devolved into a state of gummy disuse. ➡
    • I can’t chicken out now… More and more it looks like my target date for leaving really is going to be June 15th -- I'm (quite intentionally) making sure I've got all my loose ends tied up here, and that it's difficult for me to back out, just in case I get a last minute case of the heebie-jeebies. ➡
    • Getting things ready Most of my time when I'm not at work has been caught up in two pursuits: sorting through everything I own and determining what to keep, what to get rid of, and what to try to sell; and kicking back for an evening of watching DVD's when I can't deal with my room. ➡

Difficult Listening Hour 2020.05.16

Week thirteen of my unplanned, unrehearsed, seat-of-the-pants goofing around. As a way of getting back into practice and doing something regularly, I’ve started doing regular Twitch broadcasts, now on Saturday mid-mornings. These are the results. Anything goes.

📚 twenty-three of 2020: Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1968 Hugo Best Novel

A neat blending of western SF sensibilities with the Indian pantheon of gods; enjoyed this one more than I expected given that I didn’t much like Zelazny’s prior Hugo winner.

    • Surf like it’s 1994! This may be the last CSS-related post for a while — though I'm considering a writeup of how I implemented the stylesheet switcher into my TypePad setup, so there may be more yet to come. We'll see. In the meantime… ➡
    • Shades of Gattaca More and more, I think that in the coming years, the movie Gattaca may be seen as far more prescient than it was recognized as at the time it came out. ➡
    • Nick Berg conspiracy? Those of you who've read this site for a while may know that I have something of a fascination for conspiracy theories. Sometimes they interest me because they're so patently ludicrous, sometimes because they're convincing enough to be nearly frightenting, and sometimes they end up somewhere in between. ➡
    • Powell on Meet the Press Here's something you don't see in today's political arena very often these days. Colin Powell was on Meet the Press Sunday night, when one of his staffers attempted to cut off the interview in the midst of one of Tim Russert's questions. Powell was not pleased, going so far as to rebuke the staffer on-air, and had the camera brought back in order to finish the interview. ➡

    • 📚 20/2021: You Died: An Anthology of the Afterlife ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A really strong collection of short comics about death, the afterlife, and how we cope with it – from either side of the experience. A few of these got me a little misty-eyed. Excellent selections all around. ➡
  • 2020
  • 2019
    • Book thirty-four of 2019: Sex Machine, edited by Amanda Lafrenais. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The latest in the Smut Peddler series of erotic comic anthologies, which are always entertaining. If you’re into stories about getting it on with artificial beings, this is for you! ➡

    • My Desk with my New Toy When Prairie asked me what I wanted for my birthday this year, I just couldn't come up with an answer. There really wasn't anything that was jumping to mind -- I've got tons of music, tons of books, a good selection of work and school clothing.... We batted ideas around for a while, until I mentioned that I'd occasionally dreamed about updating my little Wacom Graphire2 3.5x5 tablet. ➡

  • 2023
  • 2020
  • 2019
    • Book thirty-three of 2019: A Case of Conscience, by James Blish. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1959 Hugo Best Novel Kept my interest, though I’ve read other SF dealing with the intersection of religion and SF that I enjoyed more. Almost two separate stories; the first section was the better. ➡
  • 2018
    • Signs I’m concentrating on work: iTunes makes it four full tracks into an album of Christmas music before I realize what I’m listening to and frantically lunge for the “next album” button. 🎄😲😂 ➡
    • Okay, this is a horrible clickbait-y headline, but: “Science news: Octopuses came to Earth from space as frozen eggs millions of years ago”. The journal article being sensationalized is here. I, for one, welcome our new alien cephalopod overlords! ➡

  • 2009
    • I Did Some Wonder Loaf I love Joe Cocker's version of 'With A Little Help From My Friends,' but in all honesty, I've _never_ been entirely sure just what he's singing. I know what the lyrics are, or at least what they should be...I just don't think Joe did. ➡
  • 2007
    • Photo Drop Photo Drop is a slick little Dashboard widget -- actually, one of the first that was slick and potentially useful enough for me to download and toss in to my Dashboard, which isn't exactly the most-used OS X feature on my system. ➡
  • 2006
    • First Time in Five Years Every few years I actually get up the nerve to see just how goofy I look without the beard. The last time was five years ago (and no photos exist of that round), so I figured it was finally time to give it another shot. ➡
    • Mother’s Day It's late in the day, so most won't read this until the day after, but...happy Mother's Day to all the various moms I know (and, for that matter, all those that I _don't_ know). ➡
  • 2005
    • Bittorrent trackers? Anybody know of any other good trackers out there? My Google-fu did me no good whatsoever, and as long as Season Four of Enterprise has been a bit more watchable than prior seasons, I'd kind of like to see how it all wraps up. ➡
    • Pop-Lock Is there any real difference between what's now called 'Pop-Lock' (or 'Pop-n-Lock', as I've generally heard it) and what used to be called 'The Robot' back in the 80's heyday of breakdancing? I can't really see much difference at all, if any. ➡
    • Uptime? What uptime? Prairie and I were in the midst of getting ready for dinner and a movie on Saturday evening when suddenly all the power in my apartment went out. Power outage? The building across the street still had power.... Crud, it's just me. ➡

    • Manly Pink: The photos I got my friend Jessica to wander around with me today and play photographer so that I could fulfill my earlier promise of posing in pink t-shirts, kilt, and boots in return for assistance with the redesign of my website. So, without further ado: me in pink! ➡
    • The Incredibles Is it just me, or does this guy (I'm assuming it's the Villain) look a lot like John Lithgow's character in the Sylvester Stallone movie Cliffhanger? ➡
    • Spam attack! I have no real idea if any of my readers (other than myself) subscribe to either my 'full posts with comments' feed or my 'comments only' RSS feeds, but if you do, my apologies for the spam dumps of the last few days. ➡
    • Metric vs. American paper size Slashdot recently posted a link to this fascinating (in a geeky sort of way) rundown of the Imperial (Metric) system and how it relates to paper sizing. Some of what followed in the discussion thread I knew, some I didn't, but it was one of the more interesting threads I've read on /. in a while. ➡
    • Protect the Baby Squirrels Technologically or politically, some people always feel the need to keep others from 'kicking the baby squirrels'. ➡
  • 2003
    • The Matrix: Reloaded In short, I'm _quite_ satisfied with what I was presented with. At the same time, I can certainly understand why so many middling to flat out bad reviews have been popping up in the last few days. ➡
    • Zero matches on Google Today's Foxtrot cracked me up. ➡

    • Woody Allen interviews Billy Graham Y'know, it's really sad that this kind of polite, civil, and amusing discourse is so rarely seen these days. Two people on _very_ different sides of an issue who, rather than loudly proclaiming their absolute certainty that they are _right_ and the other is _wrong_, are able to amiably chat and joke with each other about the differences in their viewpoints. ➡

    • My Big Fat Greek Wedding Thoroughly enjoyable! Not really a lot to it, all told (Greek-American girl meets American boy, boy has to cope with her very proudly Greek family), but a quite pleasant and silly movie. ➡
    • Speeding things up If all has gone well, I should have just sped up my site when processing new comments or trackback pings, thanks to Sean Willson's mt rebuild type modification. Technical details follow (Kirsten, you'll want to look at this one…) ➡
    • It's real! No, it's a hoax! Wait… Well, later on the 13th, Wired published an update to the story, where MS admitted the iLoo wasn't a hoax. ➡

    • No more home theater For years I've had three 'boy toy' areas that were important to me -- my music and DJ'ing equipment, my computers, and my home theater.
