Latest Spike column for BC magazine is online now, geeky stuff about Blu-Ray DVD.

The front page “Editor’s Bit” is worth a peek. An excerpt:

A good friend has just fallen head over heels in love, I mean movie-style love complete with all the sappiness. They’re both over 40 yet walking around on Cloud Nine. They radiate happiness – I mean, they’re like two mini-novas walking down the street and it’s wonderful to see. The cloud, and it’s a deep black Category 10 hurricane, is her ex-husband.

Quotes

" You don’t gain any wisdom as the years go by. You fall apart, is what happens. People try and put a nice varnish on it, and say, well, you mellow. You come to understand life and accept things. But you’d trade all of that for being 35 again." Woody Allen

"One should judge a man mainly from his depravities. Virtues can be faked. Depravities are real." Klaus Kinski

"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." Ben Franklin

"Thus in a course of drunken gaiety and gross sensuality, with intervals of study perhaps yet more criminal, with an avowed contempt of all decency and order, a total disregard to every moral, and a resolute denial of every religious obligation, he lived worthless and useless, and blazed out his youth and his health in lavish voluptuousness." Samuel Johnson

"I could not become anything: neither bad nor good, neither a scoundrel nor an honest man, neither a hero nor an insect. And now I am eking out my days in my corner, taunting myself with the bitter and entirely useless consolation that an intelligent man cannot seriously become anything; that only a fool can become something." Fyodor Dostoevsky

"If I could be a fisherman, I would, but I can't because I'm a fucking genius." John Lennon. I've recently discovered that's not the exact quote, but this is the way I prefer it!
