- @JosephGalbo Really hard to categorize tweets based on keywords, just because there are so few of them in a tweet... 14 hrs ago
- Though it is categorizing any tweet with the word "fan" as "sports" (wrong!), but not my only tweet ever with the word "sport"‽ 14 hrs ago
- This says I tweet mainly about education, technology, and... healthy living (?)... fun topic-izer of tweets: http://165.124.128.196:8000 14 hrs ago
- @lrainie As it is, each time I start a class session with "Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin..." fewer and fewer recognize it. 3 days ago
- @lrainie It's hard for me to do anything menacingly, and I'd try it for a classroom entrance, but I suspect the reference would be lost... 3 days ago

Movie: The Protector
Went out to the Museum of the Moving Image to see a pre-release screening of The Protector, second film–after Ong-bak–in which Tony Jaa plays a starring role. The curator of the martial arts series at the museum makes the case for Jaa being the “it” martial arts star of the 00s. Bruce Lee had the [...]

It’s getting great reviews, and I enjoyed it more than either Superman or Devil Wears Prada–but I have to say I was less than stunned by it. In [...]

Amazing grace
The lovely and gracious Jia Lin (dead blog?) took my wife and I out to dinner last week. She asked whether I have seen any movies lately, since I hadn’t been reviewing them here on the blog. The truth is that I consciously decided to stop. A review that says that MI3 is redundant and [...]
