I went to see the Bourne Ultimatum today.  Sweet. Great action, ends a little quick, but still fun series, hate to see it end.

A few unanswered questions, but I guess it wouldn’t be Bourne. 

Matt Damon is a great actor.

Yep, going get a dog.  Yikes!

But who could resist Romeo… his new-born name, not sure we will keep it.

Romeo is a Shih Tzu.  Light brown, dark eyes… who could resist him. 

Here he is at two weeks. Looks like a cute rat.

Here he is at five weeks. About twice the size and much more active…

We run our own blogging software (Moveable Type), but Typepad is really easy to use.  We have our own media streaming server, but Youtube is both easy and provides community above what our own system provides.  Along those same lines, we use Adobe Presenter for publishing presentations, but Slideshare has continued to enhance their services. 

Now to be fair, each of our services provides advantages over their online counterparts, like a index for presentations.  However, I think there is great “untapped” benefits to these online services as well.

I also serve on a campus committee for evaluating the benefits of a portal system.  I’m starting to think the “age of campus Portals” may have passed.  Instead of creating a campus portal, should we be focusing on the future of integration with online portals and communities?

Can I have a little faith… and let go?  Or will I continue to provide in-house services?

I think I can do both.

This weekend I watched the new Harry Potter movie.  It was good… I’m in the process of re-reading book 6 before I read the last book.  Anyway, I’ve decided my favorite character is Luna Lovegood.  Although Luna is a little bit of a loner, she is a loyal friend.  She has a very unwavering and unique perspective on life.  But what I love most is her accepting nature. 

When a group of admiring girls come to ask Harry to sit with them on the train saying “you don’t have to sit with them”, referring to Neville and Luna, Harry, responds “they’re my friends”.  At which Luna simply says with no malace “they think you should have cooler friends”.  She isn’t hurt or upset.  There has to be a certain freedom which comes with that way of thinking.

I may need to create a list of some of my other favorite movie characters (top 10?)… like Samwise Gamgee or Shane.
