“Star Trek” Movie Apparent Success

I saw the new 11th “Star Trek” movie at an AMC theater yesterday.  The fairly large screening room was practically full of people and there were few open seats.  And this was a 10 AM showing on a Saturday.  At the end of the movie, there were many people clapping.  A couple of co-workers also enjoyed the movie.

Virgin America A Nice Airline

This summer, I had the opportunity to fly round-trip on the airline Virgin America and found it to be a good experience.

Nintendo DS Lite A Cool Device

Yes, I’m still planning on that web site redesign I haven’t done yet.
