- Ice Age
I love, love, love this movie. I laughed so hard the first time I watched it. John Leguizamo is so funny as the voice of Syd the Sloth. Ray Ramono was great as the voice of Manny. Great kid movie, or for the whole family.

- Great graphics, very nice resolution. Shows Blu-Ray well.
Contrary to the first Ice Age, this version has much improved Computer Graphics capabilities, and you can see the details in the hairs, feathers, and even teh forests, lakes and glaciers. It is a great showdown for BluRay capabilities, and it's a world of difference from the standard res DVD.
Worth the extra cost. My son was glued to the screen the moment I put it on. Although he's only 4 1/2 he did notice something was very different with this movie. Also the 5.1 recording and mixing is very well done.

- Good, not Great
While I still want to see the first Ice Age, having seen the second one first, I must say I am not so impressed with what the media and friends have said. Don't get me wrong, this was surely an enjoyable movie, however it simply did not meet my expectations.

The whole film is a retreat from melting ice. Since the characters live in a sort-of-bowl, they have to escape from it to survive an inevitable rush of water. Their journey is to a boat made from what appears to be a giant tree. I have to admit, as I look back at this film a few days after having seen it, I must say that the general plotline is not so exciting. However, the interesting characters met along the way are delightful and bring this movie some life. This is not to say that the main characters were lifeless. In fact, they all had unique and interesting personalites.

I guess after seeing "Flushed Away" I just have a gneral feeling that "Ice Age: The Meltdown" was good, but not as good as "Flushed Away".

- No meltdown here
The adventure begins again. This storyline was cool and it was a fun movie. Children will learn about trusting and helping their friends. My daughter still laughs at when she watches it.

What I Wish Apple Would Do Next

Waiting patiently for the iPhone. The touch screen interests me but I have a huge music library and it only has a small amount of storage. Latest PC Laptops are too big to lug around if I want to quickly dash out for a meeting or a weekend trip. Apple eliminated the smaller of [...]

Eye-Fi Share on Sale for $65 at Amazon

Amazon.com is offering a so-called Black Friday special on Eye-Fi Share:
The 2 GB Wi-Fi-enabled Secure Digital card normally runs $90; it's $65 while the sale lasts.

Given that Eye-Fi introduced a limited-time-only 4 GB "Anniversary" model that replaced the 2 GB Share version in its current line-up, and that the Anniversary model was $130 list but $100 for Costco members, it's pretty clear that the 2 GB won't re-appear, the 4 GB model will drop in price, and Amazon's acting as a clearance center.

The Eye-Fi Share lets you upload pictures over a local network to a designated computer, or upload via a Wi-Fi network for which the Eye-Fi is configured to connect over the Internet to Eye-Fi's servers, and from there to a specified photo-sharing, social-network, or photo-printing service.

I'm a fan of the Eye-Fi, although I favor the currently $130 Explore model (see my review), which comes with geotagging (via Skyhook Wireless) and adds a year of included uploading via Wayport locations (now part of AT&T).
