I want an Avatar
I finally watched Avatar last night. The plot line is the age old story of imperialists come to conquer the indigenous people because they are sitting on something the imperialists want.
This time the mineral the imperialists want is called Unatainium—good play on words James Cameron. Of course this mineral is directly below the indigenous people’s most holy tree. The imperialists don’t care. Let the ass-kicking begin.
If you haven’t watched it, you have to see it in 3D. It costs a few bucks more to see the 3D version. This is not the time to be a tight wad. If you can’t afford the three extra dollars, then go next week when you can.

Geeks and Nerds vs. Jocks
I wasn’t a Nerd or Geek in high school. I wasn’t a considered a Jock either since I didn’t play sports. I think I was more of a Slacker, but I totally consider myself a Geek now and John Hodgman is my hero. This is his roast of President Obama.

Goo-Goo For Google
Without doing much with my new blog, I already reached number #6 when you Google Douglas Thomas Wallace. Then I realized, who in the hell is going to do that? So I’m going to try a different tactic. I’m going to try signing my blog with just Douglas Wallace and see what happens. What the […]
IT at its finest
This is exactly what it feels like talking to our IS/IT department. Although, if you’re looking at this right now, please forgive me and don’t turn off my computer.Thanks.
Bloggers could be fined $11000 by the FTC. Is paid speech still free?
Bloggers could be fined $11000 by the FTC. This excerpt is from an article published by Slate.com, “The FTC put bloggers on notice that they could incur an $11,000 fine if they receive free goods, free services, or money and write about the goods or services without conspicuously disclosing their “material connection” to the provider.

Hugh Laurie before he was Dr. House
Long before he was Dr. House, Hugh Laurie played on various comedy shows in England.I think I like him more as a dark, depressed genius with an American accent better.
