I have just finished watching Love Actually, and I forgot how much I loved the movie. I am not sure exactly why I like it – it might be the humor in it, or maybe the characters, or even the integration of the music. I can remember that I purchased a copy of the soundtrack a while back and I loved it. But the movie is so much better. With many movies the soundtrack is a poor copy of the movie. With this movie, the soundtrack is another part of the movie. One of the interesting parts is the number of pairings, and the interconnections. In many ways it competes with a movie like Lantana in terms of the interconnection of the plot.

I just loved Kris Marshall who plays Colin in this movie, who plays the idiot son Nick in My Family. Actually in this show he also plays an idiot, but is not so much of one…

PC World has an article on the 50 top gadgets of the last 50 years. The interesting thing is that the top gadget was the walkman followed by the iPod. This was followed by the HDD personal video recorder. These are technologies which are really important, although the PVR has yet to make an impact in Australia.
