Or is that old blog, new location? I’ve moved Monitor Duty over to TheHutch.com to serve you better.

Jack Bauer in trouble… again… FOR REAL!
Kiefer Sutherland arrested on DUI charges Aside from testing the new system myself, I am getting ready setting up a webpage of my own for my Korean trip in November. I may post a link here in the next few days for testing. Any input would be helpful. Looking forward to those chocolate rivers Mike! …

Rrrrrrr! Bread…good! Blogging…BAAAAADDDD!
I’ve ironed out some problems with the blogging software, but we’re having a major difficulty with our site host. Something’s wrong with the database. The only way we can post is to do the post, get the 500 error, THEN I manually rebuild the main page index file. And we’re lucky when that works! I’ve …

Michael Caine Speaks
Recently, Michael Caine spoke about Heath Ledger’s performance in THE DARK KNIGHT. He mentioned a minor spoiler. I have removed that spoiler from the quote right here for those who don’t want too much given away. If you want to read the original quote, minor spoiler and all, click on this link that will take …

Mime is now trapped in final box
Mime Legend Marcel Marceau Dies at 84 Our site was disabled for several days, and I had this entry drafted but not posted. This morning I awoke to hear Bob and Tom mentioning this and then saying something to the effect about how every lame would-be comedian was making an “Invisble Box” joke and we …

I’m All Grown Up Now!
I’ve never considered myself to be one of the more “prestigious” members of the Fanzing/Monitor Duty staff. I started contributing as an eager teenager (if Michael can freshen my memory of what year he took over Fanzing, I could give you an exact age — suffice it to say that I was the youngest contributor!), …

Michael Hutchison IS… The ROCKETEER!
For over 15 years, I’ve wanted a jacket like The Rocketeer wore. It was just an awesome jacket. I remember checking out leather jacket stores and never saw anything even close. Disappointed, I gave up the search and got a generic leather jacket (which I, ahem, “outgrew” a decade ago). Of course, that was before …

He … Is … Iron Man
(Yes, I know the headline’s cliched and most everybody else has used a version of it in their report. But not knoing the character real well it’s the best I could come up with.) http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/ironman The first trailer for next summer’s Iron Man movie has been released. I don’t know enough about Marvel continuity to …

Tom Russell Reviews Colon “Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters”
So, today I saw Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters (or, more correctly, Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters For DVD). On a whole, I enjoyed it, just as I enjoy the television program. It’s a sense of humour that seems to click with me pretty readily. Absurd, dadaist, …

Chris Muir throws down
Back when the cartoon wars swept Europe, the cartoonists who drew the Mohammad cartoons had to go into hiding, fearing for their very lives, all for the crime of doing some mostly-innocuous drawings of the Muslim prophet. It was now an established taboo that no one, no matter what their faith, could render Mohammad. And …

I’ll be at FallCon the first weekend in October. Join me!
I hope you can make it. FallCon is hands-down my favorite convention that I attend every year. This convention is held on the Minnesota State Fair fairgrounds, in what I believe is the biggest building there. It’s a two-day event. Every year they invite a few major pros, usually including at least one giant in …

It’s a start!
Not too shabby. Okay, okay, it’s shabby. I’m using the default templates for the moment, and there’s still a lot of work to do before it’s up to my standards, but I thought I’d make the site live this way so that we can make use of the functionality. You’ll notice the new tag cloud …

What really destroyed Titanic
This is one of my favorite fan films. One of the first ones, really, considering it came out after Titanic and before the Prequel trilogy. The video quality is relatively poor because it was the late 90s and a 50 meg download was a killer size back then, but the production quality is still amazing.

Making progress!
The new blog system has a flaw that, I suspect, is shutting out the other authors. It’s nothing I can solve; we have to wait for the bug fix. I may just give the other authors admin authority so they can get in until Movable Type fixes the bug. However, some good news: I have …

Dipping of the toe
This is the first post since installing MT 4.0. It will either work great…or crash and burn. Gneee! FYI: The good news is, it seems to have retained the templates for our site. The bad news is, it seems to have done so by sacrificing all the new fluidity the blog is now supposed to …
