Interesting tidbits from the web, best freeware list and other news
After the grand success of Gladiator set in the Roman era and Black Hawk Down set in modern times, director Ridley Scott now tackles a project set between these two periods, the medieval era. Kingdom of Heaven opens in May and has an all-star cast including David Thewlis, Liam Neeson, Jeremy Irons and Orlando Bloom. The trailer for it looks quite impressive.
The DVD review web site for which I have been doing DVD reviews for the last year and a half, uneporte.net, has just updated its graphic design. The new style is very modern and quite nice. Check it out and read our new reviews. My most recent contribution was the review of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
Victorinox, makers of the Swiss Army pocket knifes, have started making a new knife that will certainly appeal to the technologically inclined. It’s a knife that contains a USB key as one of its attachments. The memory can be 64 MB, 128 MB or even 256 MB. The shell of the knife will keep the key solidly in place. I’ve thought USB keys were quite nice for a while but this one wins in terms of coolness.
