My latest column is My Latest Letter of Resignation:

"In the grand tradition of quitting jobs I’m not too fond of, I’d like to present my latest letter of resignation. That, and I’m too lazy to write anything original this week. This is my resignation from the Nugget, NAIT’s newspaper. Why I’m quitting is in the letter. "

Find out why I'm quitting!

I, Robot - The summer blockbuster starring Will Smith and a bunch of robots. In Widescreen and Fullscreen versions. Quite a bare disc, boasting just a running commentary and a making-of documentary.

Top Gun: Special Collector's Edition - The quintessential 80s action film finally gets the 2-disc special edition treatment. Director's running commentary, making-of documentaries, documentaries on the film's impact, music videos, and all that good stuff. Oh, and in widescreen and fullscreen.

And that should do it.
