Does Broadway reinvigorate actors? Why else would multi-millionaires return to the theater. They go to play their favorite roles in front of a real audience that will laugh and love them. Will Kevin Kline go far enough in Cyrano De Bergerac to do this?

How did Jerry Seinfeld break free? There is only one way that Jerry Seinfeld could be in a movie and not be Jerry Seinfeld... An animated film! Perfect, he is able to act once again, and we can finally learn that his abilities have no depth. But is this enough to sink Bee movie?

The BQE is one of the world's ugliest express ways. I know you've thought it before, and you certainly aren't alone....

We can watch anything for 8 minutes! So lets capitalize on it. BAM is producing a series of short attention span nights. Quick hits of art mixed with $3 beers.

Experimental movies heal us. They take the unspoken pains of our lives and place the spotlight on them. But without the hollywood glamour. Glass Lips is one of those films that helps understand the tragic in our lives.

Why do some puzzle games seem captivating? Its rare to see a game that warrants the effort required to solve puzzles that take over 15 minutes. But this game provides remarkable clever puzzles that keep the user entertained. The combination of innovative puzzles, re-usable components and giving the users recipes that they must fullfill, allows the player to stay enchanted.

Blah blah blah. This game takes 2-5 hours to beat. It is excellent. Try it out!

I recently game across this cool J2ME game. Its still rough around the edges, but its a mix between a space shoot-em up game and guitar hero. I definitely recommend grabbing a copy of the test version while its still free. .

One of the better J2Me handheld games I've seen is located here:

A free version of Zelda. It saves where you left off. Explore your way around a world map, into dungeons, across rivers and through parks. Its still a work in progress, but kudos to the development team.

Cool stuff at Mashup Camp or bookmarks stored in a blog. Big thanks to the organizers for
running such a nice space. Cool presentations and lots of self-organized events as well.

The folks from eventful , tourfilter and hypemachine.

Somebody mentioned HousingMaps a pretty slick mashup with google maps and craigslist housing listing - along with mapbuilder - a tool for making your own mashup.

Kapow is a excellent scraper. I guess dapper is too.

Gangstamaps brought more branding and interactivity to the mashup space.

original signal -blogs that follow web mashup
Programmable web - more mashup news.

AIM instant messenger has a great api. Its super easy to get robots up and running.

Firefox plugins worth checking out:
firebug - javascript debugger
tails - good for finding microformatted tags

Kevin Lawver gave some nice presentations on microformats

Massachusetts put its geographic data on the web here : http://www.mass.gov/mgis/
There is an open api to access it all.

Expriation date came too fast, and I ended up giving in to netsol. Another 35 bucks siphoned out of my wallet.
