Matt Dentler of SXSW wrote about a trend he'd like to see of punctuation in films. Not a bad idea, but he left out the one that really gets a title going - the colon. Those simple two dots change "Your School District and You" into "Your School District and You: An Educational Adventure". It's all the difference in the world - it lets you have two titles for the price of one! Look at Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World - nominated for Best Picture. Why? I can't say that the title wasn't a factor.

Perhaps the most moving entry will be shown to us Friday with Garfield: The Movie. Ok. A colon can't save everything.

Dear Blog,

Hello, how are you today? I am fine. I am testing a feature that would allow me to write my website like I would a person. Like some people, the website would not be able to keep a secret and it would tell the world. Oh that website, what a card!

Yours Truly, Nick
