Disqus crosses social networking with commenting. They’ve just released a plugin that works with Wordpress, so I’m giving it a go.
What are the benefits?
Key benefits for Commenters, Readers
* Track and manage comments and replies
* More control over your own comments on websites
* Never lose your comments, even if the website goes away
* Build a global profile, or comment blog, to collect and show off what you’re saying
* Easier to comment on websites using Disqus
* Reply to comments through email or mobile
* Edit and republish comments with one click
Let me know what you think.
The old comments have been retained. Initially, they’re all unclaimed, but you can merge them to your Disqus profile.

There was a slight bug in our comments feed. So it should be working now.

Deepest apologies from both Ninja and I, but you guys love us too much and we exceeded our bandwidth limit for February. 
Now we’re back, and we’ll be sure to make sure that this doesn’t happen again.
We return you to your regularly scheduled program.

I just went through and redacted all the star ratings for my reviews from out of 5 to out of 4. Here’s why:
- 4 stars is the industry standard for reviews
- 4 stars makes more mathematical sense. On a bell curve, most movies should fall in the middle. This means most movies should be about 2.5 on a 5 star system and a 2 on a 4 star system. I was leaning a little heavy positively when I was using the 5 star system.
- Ninja would be confused when she saw the rating, she just assumed it was out of 4 stars.
Star ratings explained:
The star rating isn’t so much about how good the movie is, but more my level of recommendation. To see if a movie is good or not, you should just read the review.
0 Stars - Stay away! There is absolutely no reason why you should be watching this.
1 Star - Not recommended. If you really have nothing better to do.
2 Stars - Average. I would wait for DVD.
3 Stars - Recommended. You should probably go see this. If not in theatres, at least on DVD.
4 Stars - Highly recommended. You have to go see this right now. And then buy the DVD.
Remember, these are my tastes and recommendations. It’s not indicative of whether you will get the same level of enjoyment as I have.

I have a good number of videos now. I’m kind of proud of some of them. In an effort to make them easier to find, I made a page that collects and embeds them all. Check out the new Videos page!

The monitor on my Powerbook is pretty shot. The bottom half of the screen has a ton of dead pixel action (the massive bands of black & white). I have to take it in tomorrow to get checked out. Because my Powerbook will be in the shop, I won’t be posting as frequently. I apologize in advance & thank you for your understanding. I do have a few posts in the queue, so I’ll set them to auto-post during the week.
