OK, new title. Maybe a little catchier than just my name.

Tron Special Edition On Sale January 15th [Slashdot] From back when Disney made some halfway interesting movies (like The Black Hole, which was their version of 2001). My favorite shot in Tron is the cube farm in the big software house, which seems to stretch for miles. The soundtrack was by Wendy Carlos, who also did A Clockwork Orange, bits of the Shining, and the hit album, "Switched-on Bach". It's finally about to be in print again with this re-release of the movie.

FOP is a beautiful thing. With it you can generate full PDF documents with graphics in your Java applications. This is great when your customer wants their web application to generate nicely formatted printed documents.
