Beowulf: What's the Big Deal?

The Big Deal about Beowulf is only partly in it's amazing CGI. What is also significant is the amazing script by Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary. In this excellent insightful review, British writer Henry Gee explores the differences in the story between the poem and it's adaptation. Another insightful review at the Strange Horizons website is from writer Roz Kaveney, and pertains more to the movie per se.

There's that lovely word again - Freeware. Overall a pretty good selection from CNET. I did notice that SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard were missing. Both stop Spyware from being downloaded in the first place, saving you the trouble of having to clean it out.

Once again Frankie comes through. I have to admit the Lobster Newburg sounds a bit better to me, but I was still drooling as I put her Posting together.

Good news. Frankie's back with another great veggie recipe. Popeye's favorite. We'll see how long she can keep this up. I'll Post the hearty recipes and she can do the ones loved by rabbits.

This is Frankie's first (and hopefully not last) Posting on the Blog. Since she's not (horrors!) hooked up to the Net, she had to Post it through me. Now I'm not usually much of a veggie man, but reading this made me so hungry that I had to go and rip the throat out of a small animal and feast on it. But don't worry Frankie, I promise to try the veggies soon. Oh, and you can also saute them quickly in the microwave using butter or olive oil. Hopefully we'll be hearing from her again soon on food or anything else that interests her.

Most of the user reviews that I read made the point that it's very user friendly, though PC World didn't like it and it's not recommended if you're using Zone Alarm. Then again, the new Norton said that it wouldn't work with Zone Alarm, but they seem to be playing well together on my machine. And best of all, it's free, so you might want to give it a try.

It's turns out that Rosy actually has some fairly good reasons to be late with her Sat Postings. She asked me to Post some of her favorite X-rated Sites, but I've decided to recycle a couple of her older Posts instead. Hey, children read this Site. She should be back next Sat. If not, maybe we WILL use some of her favorite X-rated Sites. Remember, this is the woman who Posted "iPod Accessory for Desperate Housewives", though, up til then, I hadn't thought of her as "desperate".
