To be honest, I was disappointed by the first film. It didn't spend enough time developing the robot characters. I thought the fight scenes were too confusing. I still thought it was a good film, though, because of the comic relief ... http://jason.whong.org/archives/2009/06/30/transformers-rise-of-the-fallen-mini-review/ Today marked the end of my service on a federal grand jury. I was seated on the jury November 1, 2007, and served through today, when I was dismissed. It was a truly educational experience. Grand juries are different than trial juries. Instead of deciding guilt or innocence, the grand jury ... http://jason.whong.org/archives/2008/10/28/grand-jury-service-is-done/ The name of the seventh episode of Heroes this season is called "[tag]ERIS QUOD SUM[/tag]."

Today is the four year anniversary for Erin and I. So, happy anniversary to us! We celebrated on Monday, since that was the day I don't work. I haven't subbed yet this year; I have been called three times, but I had a good excuse ... http://jason.whong.org/archives/2008/10/09/various-goings-on/ In the 2007-2008 New York State Associated Press Association awards I received third place in the online photography category (in the under 50,000 circulation group) for the following video: (you have to press the play button in order to see it. Also, the video is copyright 2007 Star-Gazette.) I shot it last ... http://jason.whong.org/archives/2008/08/18/tooting-my-own-horn-nysapa-award/ Today, I was in Corning, shooting pictures to go with a story about glassmaking in the city, its future, and such. I had been to two glass studios that morning; nobody was working, but I did get some people shopping. Then I went to Hands On Glass studio, and when ... http://jason.whong.org/archives/2008/08/02/seven-rosy-angels-2/ I met seven nice ladies today. They were having a friendly gettogether. I will write more about them when I find out why my blog is broken. http://jason.whong.org/archives/2008/08/02/seven-rosy-angels/ I like my iPhone, but I don't like my wireless service provider, because AT&T's network leaves a bit to be desired in these parts (to be fair, so does the original iPhone's antenna.) Anyway, I sent an e-mail message while sitting in my car at work, then drove home, only ... http://jason.whong.org/archives/2008/08/01/yaytt-you-read-it-here-first-or-maybe-on-twitter-a-few-minutes-ago/ OK, so I am back from vacation with Erin. I took a lot of photos, and Erin took a few also. They're posted in her Picasa account. So check them out! I've been back to work for a few days. On my first day back, I got licked by a cow. ... http://jason.whong.org/archives/2008/07/30/rapid-fire/ I used to have a Google pagerank of 6. Or maybe it was 4. I know it was an even number higher than two. Back when it was that high, I received offers from people that wanted to buy ads on the blog.
