Comedy of Errors

Comedy of Errors 08/09/2004 07:19 AM
My family loves Shakespeare & Co. up in Lenox where we're currently on vacation. We've been going to its performances for about twenty years now. A couple of nights ago, we saw a preview of Comedy of Errors. (Hint: It's the one with the two Dromios, no Rosalind, and doesn't take place in Verona.) Shakespeare & Co.'s performances are always lively, bawdy, and understandable. The troupe is first rate. Their performances IMO feel like Shakespeare as he was seen by his contemporaries. Yet, this performance wasn't my favorite. Too much mugging, too broad, too hectic. Yes, it's a farce with...

Comedy = Tragedy + Distance

Comedy = Tragedy + Distance 12/19/2003 11:36 AM
To say that The Conqueror, the Howard Hughes-backed film about Ghengis Kahn with John Wayne as the lead, is an awful film is somewhat of an understatement. Bad acting in the hot Nevada desert surrounded by radiation from the Yucca Flats lead to around 90 people getting cancer and 30 dying from it. They even shipped radioactive sand back to Hollywood for extra scenes. Lost in La Mancha doesn't seem so bad in retrospect.

Sony vs. The PSP Importers - A Comedy

Sony vs. The PSP Importers - A Comedy 06/24/2005 04:03 PM

Welcome to cuckoo world! Sony, in all their majestic wisdom, has decided to hunt down and kill PSP importers in the UK. Let's read this, shall we? "The Japanese electronics giant Sony is demanding that companies importing its hotly anticipated PlayStation Portable to Britain reveal their customers' identities so the equipment can be tracked down."

Now, why would they do this? Because they are crazy? Because Sony CEO Sir Howard Lancelot Stringer Esq. has finally gone all Howard Hughes on us? Are those purchasers of Japanese PSPs in there on the Rainy Isle using them to mount an offensive against the Sony Yakuza stronghold or are they attempting to pay $400 for a game device. Next week: Sony kills and eats babies.

Sony bid to stop grey imports [Guardian]

UPDATE - Ok, so they don't eat babies so much.

Lauren Weinstein outwits Comedy
Central's humiliation show 06/21/2004 03:34 PM
LVX23 sez: "Beware! You could be next! Net pundit & privacy advocate Lauren Weinstein was almost ensnared by the greedy talons of a Viacom/MTV "reality" charade. Thanks to some clever web research she was able to uncover the con and spare herself himself humiliation in front of a national audience."

"At first I found nothing again. But then I started working backwards from the contact phone numbers I had for the show's production staff. This time I hit pay dirt, and while the pages unscrolled on my screen a cold chill ran down my spine. As the recent, angry testimonials I had found recounted, with a matching of modus operandi that left no chance for error, the show on which I was about to appear was a fraud. Not really a debate at all, the show is actually a program for Comedy Central (yes, an MTV/Viacom network) called "Crossballs" -- and its sole purpose is the embarrassment and humiliation of the expert guests who are brought on expecting a legitimate discussion program."

Microsoft To Bridge Office, Back Office
Apps 01/26/2004 01:10 AM
Microsoft continues to build bridges between Office desktop apps and reservoirs of back-office data. The "Information Worker Bridge" project now under way seeks to make it easier for integrators or in-house developers to make Excel or Word de-facto front ends for back-end accounting, ERP or other applications, sources said. In theory, this would take back-office integration beyond ODBC drivers and InfoPath, the Office application that lets people build dynamic forms on their desktops that tap into back-office XML data.
