		<title>Report from SaltCon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A board game convention is a little different than most geek events. Usually there is a great focus on a lot of celebrity and spectacle. Although the larger venues have plenty of this (such as GenCon, Origins or the mother of them all in Essen, Germany) we at SaltCon are mostly just here to play [...]]]></description>

		<title>American Idol Top 20</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;d you think?

No big surprises, except I thought Alex Lambert did pretty good. Whichever judge said people would be rooting for him is right&#8212;I&#8217;m totally rooting for him now. But fave guys are still Casey and Andrew for me. Lee Dewyze is kind of funny for me. He&#8217;s one of those Eddie Vedder-wannabes that have [...]]]></description>

Spoilers from tonight&#8217;s episode, along with a bunch of other stuff, below.

Links and miscellanea

I enjoyed these Lost Slapdown videos.  (Warning: conspicuous Shake Shake advertising included.)





The LA Times has a recap of a Lost panel at Paley Festival.  MOst important bit: yes, we will get more information on the Hurley-bird. [...]]]></description>

		<title>10 Brief Notes on Caprica</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1.  You really should be watching this.
2.  The nature of the show is such that each episode is not as self-contained as episodes of BSG.  I will do a more comprehensive post when the mid-season break hits in mid-March.
3.  This week episode was quite cyberpunky.  Until now, it had mostly been family drama, with no [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Brief Book Review:  The Battlestar Galactica Trilogy.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Actually, this isn&#8217;t a true &#8220;trilogy.&#8221;  It&#8217;s more like &#8220;Omnibus edition of the only three licensed books that were ever released.&#8221;
I needed a BSG fix, and someone got me this for my birthday, so I read through it.  Interesting, but hardly essential.  The three books in this omnibus edition are:
* The Cylons’ [...]]]></description>

		<title>Review:  The Crazies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Meh.
Don&#8217;t get me wrong &#8230; this remake of George A. Romero&#8217;s 1973 flick of the same name (which I haven&#8217;t seen) is actually pretty good.  By which I mean, I enjoyed myself well enough while watching it.  No unforgiveably crappy dialogue, no egregious plot flaws, no interminable stretches of boredom, punctuated by zombie attacks.  And best [...]]]></description>

		<title>American Idol: top 24</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;d everyone think of the top 12 girls? I haven&#8217;t quite watched them all, but from what I&#8217;ve seen, it looks like a pretty disappointing group.
Except for Chrystal Bowersox, who completely rules. She sounded like a combination of Linda Perry and Ani DiFranco last night. I don&#8217;t think she sounded like Alanis, do you?
