Hobbit Titles Announced

EXTRALIFE - Hobbit Movie Titles Announced

The Hobbit and The Golden Voyage of Sinbad were two of the first movies I remember watching as a kid. I watched it at a friend's house that I was visiting on a play date around the age of 4 - I even made my mother wait to take me home until it finished. It is the first story I can remember that really resonated with me and has lost little of its magic in the 33 years since that first viewing.

I'm a bit excited to see it done on the big screen, live action. Peter Jackson has proven ability with the Lord of the Rings trilogy, one of my favorite movie adaptions of all times.

I very much look forward to revisiting Middle Earth once again. Maybe this time, my kids will be the ones making me wait until the movie is over.

The size and shape of the device, the soft, contoured back, and the touch screen are all exceptional bragging points for the new Nook and I really like the improvements over their first generation device. I wish Kindle took as large a leap for...

The Smart Alec Backpack is cooler than you. Even cooler than: TOM BIHN

Photo curtesey of Tom Bihn and user maverick Ordered a new backpack . I'm kinda geeky excited. I've owned one of Tom Bihn 's messenger bags before, and I can attest to the quality of the workmanship and attention to detail. I went with the Smart Alec over a Timbuk2 H.A.L. 2011 for both the simplicity of design and more importantly, molecularity of the inside; I can attach dedicated laptop protection or remove it for maximum empty volume for hiking or other activities. Now I have to wait for it to arrive!
