Happy 30th birthday Star Wars.
On this day on 1977 George Lucas' centerpiece, "Star Wars Episode IV: A New hope", opens to the public. Seven Oscars, $461 million in U.S. ticket sales and a gross of close to $800 million worldwide partially reflects it's success.
Star Wars revolutionized the way movies are made and the way we look at movies. It created movie cult.
Star Wars grew up to be one of the most profitable movie franchises ever. With the movie release came tons of toys and paraphernalia that got incredible sales.
The Star Wars story is currently made up of six movies or episodes: the original trilogy, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and The Return of The Jedi; and the new trilogy, The Phantom Menace, The Attack of The Clones, and The Revenge of The Sith.
I like the Star Wars sixtology a lot, some are among my all-time movie favorites. They have a great story (based on the struggle between good and evil), great special effects, great characters, extra care of details, etc.
If you haven't seen the Star Wars movies, I highly recommend them because they are a classic and are very entertaining.
PD. For you Star Wars fans out there check the following on Windows:
1. Go to the Start menu, then click on run;
2. Paste the following: "telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl" and click OK; and
3. Enjoy.

Finally, after thinking about it a lot, Friday I made up my mind and bought a Nintendo Wii.
I do not consider myself a gamer (my last game console was the original Nintendo), but just a few days after using a friend's Wii I got hooked on it. I mean it is SOOO MUCH FUN to play with it. Another thing that I like is that anyone can play it, including my mom and my dad, who barely have played a video game in their life's. The included game, Wii Sports, although very simple is very entertaining and a great way to get hooked on the Wii.
That's all for now, signing off...

I found lots of funny things today, but this video from The Late Show with David Letterman got me laughing so hard...
And as a plus for this Friday here is the scientific explanation that the girls are evil (just kidding girls):
As I have mentioned before, the Yankee Stadium is scheduled to death. As this baseball season evolves with it's ups and downs for the Yankees there is a looming shadow over the Yankee Stadium, the construction cranes of the new stadium.
I found this post at the Bats Baseball Blog from the New York Times. This post remembers a song from Frank Sinatra called "There Used to be a Ballpark" that reflects on how we will feel in the future when there is no more "The House that Ruth Built". How does someone looking for the tons of memories from the Yankee history would feel like? How can future fathers tell their sons "look over there, that is the home plate that Joe DiMaggio used to bat in"?
I'll leave you with a picture of the construction of the new stadium (click on the picture to go to the post at the New York Times).
