Over the weekend we saw the latest 3D flic, Disney’s Meet the Robinsons, the 3D effect was incredible, the best I’ve ever experienced plus a fun story too. There were rumors the U2 trailer would show in theatres, we didn’t see it but now it’s online:

Rock on.

We headed into the city and joined thousands of people lining the decks of the bridge and the shoreline, along with a flotilla of approximately 400 ships, boats, the SF fire boat, and kayaks to watch the show.

It was quite a display the crowd roared as she sailed beneath the bridge with a blast of the giant horn and barely clearing the bridge by 30 feet. The photos can be viewed here.

It’s been a little labor intensive to maintain as the list grows so I created a new site with Ruby on Rails and called it Quoteopedia. You can contribute all your favorite quotes with an easy to use web form, and sign of up for the RSS Feed to keep tabs on the latest additions.
