Beowulf coming to Theaters

October 14th, 2007

Every once in a while, I go to Apple’s website to check out the newest movie trailers. I find it is a really good way to check out what movies I want to see. This weekend I came across a trailer for Beowulf which will be coming to theaters on November 16th. For those who haven’t heard of Beowulf [wp], it is an influential Old English heroic epic poem which dates back to 700–750 AD. Beowulf was basis for J.R.R Tolkien’s academic career which was the first serious literature critiques of the poem. The poem was, also, a strong influence in The Lord of the Rings which lead to the development of modern fantasy. Although I would never read Beowulf, I think it is an excellent premise for a movie.

Finally! A good Text Editor for Windows.

October 6th, 2007

About a couple months ago, I switched text editors from Textpad to E – TextEditor. Despite E – TextEditor’s lame name, I was shocked to find out how superior it was to my previous editor. Although E has some stability issues, I still think that it is one of the best text editors for Windows. However, considering that E was released only 3 months ago, I think it is remarkably stable. Also, because of E’s rapid development and its large community, I would expect that these issues will be quickly resolved. If you are looking for a new text editor for Windows, I would strongly encourage you to try the 30-day trial.
