Merry Christmas, thanks Google for the anti-Incredifind, & Excalibur rocks

As usual, the guy in the red suit has passed by. He did stop at the purple giraffe's house so everything is casual on this beautiful and chilly Christmas morning. Goals of the day are to not answer the phone, have no conversations and get some work done on the PCs that have to be returned after this wonderful holiday to various networks and individuals. Guess I'll have to speak to someone when I return the movies rented. This should be a nice, easy day spent alone with my machines. Christmas with my family begins Monday so it's not too dreary to have a deserved day of solitude at the beach house.

After checking the Google links to Cybersouth - from the Saltillo Beach House it is apparent the Incredifind nasties planted there by the dungware creeps have been removed. Thanks Google. If the spyware idiots follow their normal mode of operation this will not be the last attack. Merijn.org experienced some of the same problems and then they bombed his email. The Incredifind fools are pathetic; a disease that is forever trying to grow and devour innocent, unaware people.

While a good movie well worth watching King Arthur is a little unsettling to someone that has grown up with visions of Camelot and Merlin the Mage. The special effects and cinematography are awesome. The new slant to "humanize" this tale of wizards, magical swords and a holy goblet is just not my cup of tea. Malory and Tennyson are probably rolling in their graves. Maybe the next attempt will lean more towards telling the tale with magical beings and carrying-ons. The concept of Arthur being half-Italian and not a true Britainer just doesn't work. Still, this is a good movie and I highly recommend it. Sure beats that silly thing that Connery and Gere did a few years ago. It didn't even include Merlin as a character.

"The tale of King Arthur without Merlin is like making ice cream without cream."
