Spoiler Alert

Well she tied up all the important lose ends. And the series is over. About the only thing we have left to look forward to is the inevitable cartoon show about little Albus Severus Potter and his friends. The situation with Snape worked out more or less as I expected. The final moments were perfectly orchestrated.

So I have one question left. What happens when Griphook the goblin finds out that the sword of Gryffindor is missing because Neville pulled it out of the sorting hat? Did Neville or Harry return it later? Or is it just one more cause of bad blood between the wizards and the goblins?

I write software for a living. Sometimes the developer of a software program can spend years adding features to software and nevertheless miss the one glaring omission that almost everyone who has used the software has noticed. I worked for one company on a software project ( that shall remain nameless ) where there seemed to be a single serious flaw that was being ignored. Instead everyone was busy with other pet projects. I asked people why this thing wasn't top priority and was told to get busy on other things. I asked again and again and finally just gave up.

I know this is terribly late. And I should have seen this movie when it came out like the rest of the movie dweebs. But here's my review of Speilberg's Munich.

Hubig's pies are back!. According to an article in the New York Times the pies have returned after a four month hiatus. At this rate we are sure to have Mardi Gras this year. Check out Louisiana Lagniappe if you want to eat one. Update: Or now get them here.

It's always interesting to see a survey like this. Someone, somewhere has come up with a test, which once scored, assigns to you a science fiction or fantasy character that matches your personality. The only problems are: The test is hardly scientific; and you have no clue ahead of time to which of the many science fiction or fantasy stories the test will refer. It turns out to be a short list. Star Trek, both old and new, Babylon 5, The Lord of The Rings, The Matrix, Star Wars (all episodes) and The Princess Bride thrown in for good measure. (Why was Stargate left out? Who doesn't want to be McGyver by proxy?)

Just finished watching Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle for the first time. A friend brought over the DVD. And if they weren't my friend before they brought it over, well, they are now.
