A new food blog, just what I needed. /me Add to Favorites [Link]

I am FOR the war in Iraq ofcourse since I live in Kuwait and Iraq with Saddam was posing a threat to me. But today I read something very interesting by Michael Scheuer which made a lot of sense. He was giving an interview on the TV show Hardball when the reporter asked him if the war on Iraq was a good decision, his reply made a lot of sense and it makes me wonder if the US administration knew this would happen. If they were then what is so important about Iraq that made them take such a risk. This is the full transcript.

O‘DONNELL: And, finally, the president has made the case that winning the war in Iraq is central to winning the war on terror and making sure that Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda cannot take—harm the United States. Is that true, if we win there, will that help?

SCHEUER: No, ma‘am. The war in Iraq has broken the back of our counterterrorism effort. I‘m not an expert on the threat posed by Saddam Hussein, but the invasion of Iraq has made sure this war will last decades ahead and it has transferred bin Laden and al Qaeda from being man and an organization into being a philosophy and a movement. We‘ve really made sure that the war against us is going to be a long and very bloody one. Iraq was an absolutely disastrous decision.

IDontLikeYouInThatWay had a link to footage from the new Superman Returns movie coming out next year, the movie was 81MB and really didn’t show much footage from the movie, it was mostly footage from Comic Con and Bryan Singer with very little of the actual movie. So for those of you who don’t want to download 81MB just to see a few seconds from the actual movie, here are some screen shots highlighting some of the best footage.

Gus Van Sant, the director behind great movies like Elephant and Good Will Hunting just released a new movie last month called Last Days. The movie is loosely based on the last days of Nirvana’s lead singer Kurt Cobain who died in 1994. Michael Pitt who plays the lead role in the movie as a musician named Blake looks like Kurt Cobain, dresses like him and dies like him at the end of the movie. You can watch the trailer on Apple’s website [here] and you can check out the official site [here]. I can’t wait to watch this movie since I love Nirvana and it was a really shock to me when Kurt Cobain died. I was in Montreal when it happened and I remember the music channel there, Much Music played Nirvana songs all day long.

According to Mac Observer, Apple will be introducing a G5 Mac mini, new dual core G5 PowerMacs and new PowerBooks with a speed bump and HD screen at next months Apple Expo. [Link]

Someone in Kuwait has a red Ford GT with white stripes. Its rumored to be owned by someone from the Al-Wazzan family.

First mentioned at E3 back in May, the Game Boy Micro is going to be released next month priced at $99. Doesn’t sound much but when you consider the fact that the Nintendo DS, a more capable machine with dual screens and the ability to play Game Boy Advance games also costs only $120, the Game Boy Micro starts looking a bit more expensive. Still though, I will probably get one. [Link]
