Just found this (though it's rather old): Anakin Impresses On Episode II. I'll just quote the whole thing here rather than making you scroll far down on the page.

Star Wars: Episode II casting director Robin Gurland told the official Star Wars Web site that star Hayden Christensen is living up to expectations as Anakin Skywalker. "He amazes me every time," Gurland told the site. "He has some tricky, tricky scenes ... very complicated scenes."

Gurland added, "The arc that he's creating not only has to go through this film, but the next one, and there's a lot of texture to it. And again, the way that this is composed, [director] George [Lucas] writes in these vignettes, and you have to really be able to play within a certain scene, but then carry it forth. For an actor who is carrying it forth in one or two films, it's very difficult. It's a very emotional balance that Hayden's playing. And he can't really give away too much on this one, because the next one is really when it's going to come into play. He is one of the strongest actors I've come across in a long, long time. And it's not just my opinion. People are constantly coming up to me on set and saying, 'Do you know how good he is?' Yes, I do. And these are other actors. It's the ultimate compliment when another actor says, 'This kid is something!'"

I didn't know there were skin whitening products.

I don't know what I'm going to do! I've been wanting to do my English homework all day, but I still have absolutely nothing down on the page. Assignments like these are why I almost didn't graduate from High School. In HS I just didn't do them, because who gives a shit? But I'm in college... I can't just not do a paper!

Oh yeah... in college, you don't have "reports", you have "papers".

More discussions about table-less designs with CSS today. First of all, the best quote to come out of all this is from from Scott Andrew, about developers: "In other words: we want to be ninjas, masters of our craft. Let us be ninjas!"

That aside, again most of this discussion is centered around Scripting News today. Here's Dave's comments to Scott, and his list of Hurdles CSS must overcome.

A quick note: there are two issues here. The first is just using CSS instead of font tags, etc. I don't think I have one font tag on my entire site, and all margins, colors, sizes, etc. are controlled with CSS. The other issue is using CSS instead of tables for layout. I've tried to reproduce this site's design using only <div>s and CSS, and it's a PITA. For some sites it makes sense to do the design without tables, and for some it doesn't.

Finally, here are Ehud's comments on CSS from a programming language perspective. CSS is a declarative language. To continue the analogy - sometimes you just need imperative languages

AAAAAaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh, I hate my English class. I've been sitting here staring at my computer and wasting time trying to get started on my paper due tomorrow. Worst of all, it's keeping me from other homework I want to do.

Back when I was working I never thought I'd have to deal with homework again. I turned out to be wrong about that.

Also via Slashdot, an interview with Kernel hacker Andrew Morton at KernelTrap.

"I've been a Linux user since about '94. Came a day in March 2000 when I decided to give this 2.3.47 thing a whirl, only to discover that Alan had marked my ninety-cent-NIC as obsolete! We couldn't have that, so I sent Linus a 2,500 line patch. It was rather satisfying doing things which others found useful, so I kept on doing it."

Slashdot: Mozilla Development Roadmap Updated. Here's the roadmap. Looks like we should get 1.0 soon! The main thing I care about at this point is speed. I hope they can speed it up a lot before 1.0.

I think I just watched three movies in a row on TBS - "The Superstation".

I don't regret it... they were good movies.
