movies

I’ve read a bunch of top 10 lists from various movie reviewers recently, ranking the best movies of the year. I tried coming up with my own list, but I could only think of 5 really good movies. Not that anyone cares, but here it is:

  1. Millennium Actress
  2. Triplets of Belleville
  3. Finding Nemo
  4. A Mighty Wind
  5. LoTR: Return of the King

Python

I had to learn Python this week for a little project at work. (OK, I guess I didn’t have to learn Python, but it seemed like the best tool for the job.) Just for reference, here are some key sites, if you’re going to try to pick up Python:

I’ve also found that the Python 2.1 Bible is a decent book to get started with.

coffee

My coffee maker died this week, after about 15 years of daily use. Assuming Krups still makes good stuff, I suppose I can justify the cost of this thing. While I’m waiting for it to show up, I can still make espresso with the old machine, so I should be able to get myself out of bed and off to work without too much grief until then!
