Are Blogs Dead?

Dave made a comment today that blogs are so 2009. I have to admit it's much easier to post something on FaceBook. I came across this Wired article written back in Oct 2008 (that's about 10 years ago in Internet years) that comes to the same conclusion.

What do you guys think, are blogs dead? It is a struggle to write new stuff since I tend to spend a lot of time making sure the article is readable. I still haven't finished my MacWorld blog from earlier this year.

Is anybody even reading this?

Star Wars on Blu-ray

George Lucas finally officially announced that the Blu-Ray version of all six Star Wars films will be released in fall of 2011. Unfortunately this will only include the 1997 Special Edition versions of Episodes 4-6 and not the original theatrical versions. When asked why Lucas offered this lame reply:

Mr. Lucas said that to release the original versions of these films on Blu-ray was “kind of an oxymoron because the quality of the original is not very good.”

It's apparent that Lucas has no desire to give the fans what they are asking for with the original releases and I don't like the fact it looks like I will be forced to buy episodes 1-3 but I'll probably end up getting this as long as the price is reasonable.

DOOM Resurrection Sale

In case you don't already have it, DOOM Resurrection for the iOS platform is on sale during QUAKECON 2010 starting today and ending this Sunday. I'm in the process of downloading it now. I know its a rail shooter and it's a bit old but the $1.99 price is too good to pass up considering it normally sells for $9.99.
