Jericho is cancelled... again. Since writing the review linked to below, I've read some other articles that all thought Season 2 wasn't any good. For whatever reason, I have the opposite impression. It feels different from Season 1; it feels as if they knew they only had 8 episodes to do lots of stuff. By no coincidence, that was exactly the case, so it was paced different.
Maybe I'm the minority, but 2 sold me. 1 did not.

Ick - I bought the PS3
I feel so dirty. After 16 years, I bought a Sony product. I'm disgusted with myself. I called it "Gina's birthday gift" hoping that would help, but alas, I can't fool myself.
I bought the PS3 on Monday 3/17/2008. It's now Monday 3/24/2008. Its still in the box. I keep looking at it, then run to the toilet to vomit. Its a vicious cycle that has left me exhausted and continuously hungry, and has caused a measurable amount of tooth decay.
A few minutes ago, I came close to opening it, then changed my mind. It deserves to just sit there a while longer. We have the spiderman trilogy and SuperBad (borrowed) ready to watch, but clearly I'm not emotionally ready to watch these films.
When will I actually open it? When I stop circling around the drain, and finally fall through, it will be time. Maybe then I can start rebuilding my life.

Stargate Driven Update
STARGATE : THE ARK OF TRUTH came out last week. I added the product, but no rating because I haven't seen it yet. By design, it didn't show up on the COMING SOON list on the right side of the new page.
When I added the coming soon section, I made it so that not every product in the system would show up. That's how it used to work, but there's a lot of crap released on a week by week basis. I'd rather that section focus on things that are likely to provoke interest. So, I made it so that it only shows products that have a rating or a WEIGHT < 99. By default, WEIGHT = 99, and there wasn't a way to change that on the page. I knew it would come up sooner or later. ARK OF TRUTH made it sooner.
I added a COMING SOON checkbox on the product admin page. Whenever a product is added, the ADDEE has the option to force it to appear on the page. It does so by changing the weight to 1.
There are a lot of theatrical releases that I don't get to see. If the site has any hope of ever making a dime, then it can't just show the movies that I or other contributors have seen. It has to include what other people would like to see. We now have the stupid-little-tool to do that.
It was a minor update. I added a CHECKBOX with AUTOPOSTBACK = TRUE. The CheckChangeEvent calls a static method in the RELEASE object. The Release object performs the update. Ta-da!
