James Cameron’s sci-fi blockbuster Avatar is opening this weekend with much fanfare. As has been widely reported, Cameron enlisted a linguist, Paul Frommer of USC’s Marshall School of Business, to create the Na’vi language, spoken by the inhabitants of the alien world Pandora.

[…]

Na’vi has 20 consonants, 7 vowels, 4 diphthongs, and 2 syllabic “pseudovowels,” rr and ll.

Very neat concept for handling magazines on tablet computers/ebook readers called “Mag+”. Personally the idea of reading newspapers and magazines on a tablet is much more appealing than novels. I like to display books on a bookshelf, but don’t collect magazines. When I’m done with a magazine, I toss it in recycling. Likewise with newspapers. Periodicals I think would transfer beautifully to a digital format, if it allowed some thought to be given to the layout, unlike how most newspapers websites work.

As far as I’m concerned, they only made two Terminator movies. This dialogue shows how one might account for Salvation. Reminds me of the Robot Chicken (or was it Family Guy) Star Wars special in which Darth Vader tells Luke, “as a child, I built C-3PO.”

If a pizza isn’t cut through the middle, how does one divide up the slices so that each eater gets an equitable share? Here comes the math.

I like the wren, phoenix, griffin, and king & queen, in that order.

I’ve been hoping for something like this for ages. I’m frequently looking actors and movies up, and IMDb’s website is not very iPhone-friendly. I was, in fact, literally saying that I wished they had an iPhone site when I saw their banner ad for this.

New York Times piece on how switching to using an XBOX for TV instead of having cable. This approach certainly isn’t friendly enough for many, but it’s growing. I’m still very happy with my TiVo and antenna setup.
