OK, OK! Stargate Universe reeks of the same stench as Star Trek Voyager. Voyager at least had a fully functional ship (with the exception of supplies if I am not mistaken), whereas the Destiny (the ship on SGU) is battered and beaten and in serious need of a spacedock (which they don't have).Still, it is a nice addition to the Stargate franchise, and I look forward to many, many seasons. At least

I love metal slug!It reminds me of the early arcade days (for me anyway!)I look forward to playing it on the PSP (the Japanese asking price is rumored to be $56 - I think I will wait for the $25-$30 range)More Metal Slug XX News & Previews

YouTube is a veritable treasure trove of all that is great and crappy at the same time!As a huge fan of Office Space, this little video made me chuckle :-)

I was waiting at the train station the other day when I saw the advertisement bellow. The text reads "America's most convenient bank. Maine to Florida"I don't know what language they are using, but I was under the impression that 'to' implied a continuum, including the exteremes and everything in between.

I saw this on SNL this past weekend (apologies for the Hulu link for the international audience).This skit reminded me of all the language teaching culture. This video gives us a funny example of why you just can't translate word for word, or even try to superficially use language and culture - you really need to get into the skin of the role (pun intended ;-) ) and dive deep into the host culture.

Όταν ήμουν στο λύκειο έκανα τέσσερα χρόνια τάεκβοντό. Η αλήθεια είναι πως μου άρεσε αρκετά να πηγαίνω στο ντότζο, να εξασκούμε, και φυσικά να βλέπω φιλαράκια. Στο τέλος του λυκείου είχα, αν θυμάμαι καλά, αποκτήσει την κόκκινη

I was listening to TWiT this week (or was it TWiG? I really don't remember), and a metro map infographic of google's acquisitions over the years. Pretty interesting! I didn't know that they had bought (or invested in) so many other companies...For the original image click here

I was reading an Engadget post earlier this week that pointed to an article on the Daily Pricentonian regarding the failure of the Kindle DX to catch on as an academic product. One student went so far as to say that the Kindle is a poor excuse for an academic tool. Well I've got a news flash for you my peeps :-)The Kindle is not meant to be an academic product. It's a commercial product, for commercial

I've been following the #lrnchat discussion (or controversy if you will ;-) ) in various media - well twitter and blogs mostly. If you don't know what #lrnchat is check out the lrnchat blog.Now on multilitteratus I've written about how I don't get using twitter for chat purposes. It just doesn't make sense as a communication too to do that, given that there are many chat software providers - AIM,

I was debating whether to post this on Multilitteratus (since it is ID related), or if I should post it here - guess who won ;-)I was reading an article on ASTD learning circuits the other day called Learning 2.0 and Workplace Communities which reminded me of my knowledge management class - the one I took many moons ago while an MBA student.In this article Dave writes about the three models of using
