I was supposed to meet my daughter and her father for dinner in the city, which I did. But I got a flat tire on the way, because I'd hit the curb earlier though the tire seemed OK at that time.

I need some opinions on the Rosetta Stone language learning software.

First some quick background:
I am learning both Japanese and Chinese. I've only studied Chinese for four months, since spring, in Taiwan and I will be going back in August for another four months. With Japanese, I've studied for a year 1/2 in college but have forgotten a lot since going to Taiwan. In January I will be starting at my new college in Japan finishing up my bachelors. So basically, I am learning these two languages first hand.

However, I am still considering getting Rosetta Stone. I am hoping it might help me with my tones in Chinese.
So my question to you is, is it worth it? What are the pros and cons?
Thanks.

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban gave a presentation to the FCC about the future of digital media, and his number one point -- obviously a little self-serving, but it wouldn't be Cuban if it wasn't -- was that people will be able to go to a movie theater and watch a major sporting event in 3-D.

Crazy talk? Not at all. We're going to see a lot of experiments in this realm over the next couple of years. As I wrote about in Portfolio, movie theaters are increasingly installing expensive equipment that will let them show digital 3-D films. Theaters will be looking for ways to make extra money on that investment.

Meanwhile, Pace Technologies has been developing live-action 3-D cameras chiefly for Hollywood. Pace cameras were used to shoot Journey to the Center of the Earth, and right now are shooting James Cameron's upcoming 3-D movie, Avatar. As it turns out, the cameras can also shoot live events in 3-D.

Earlier this year, I visited Pace and saw a demo -- and it truly is a different experience from seeing a game on 2-D television. It's not like seeing it live, either, but something different and interesting. As the Pace folks explained, for instance, they discovered that constant cutting to different shots -- a TV staple -- isn't necessary in 3-D. It seems better to let the camera take in the full-court action. Viewers feel a little like they're watching from halfway up the arena seats.

Cuban experimented with showing a Mavericks playoff game in a theater, and the NBA tried a closed-circuit 3-D broadcast of the 2007 All-Star game, showing it to only 600 people in a Las Vegas theater.

But there are high hopes in both sports and the theater industry around this. Imagine the local theater showing the Super Bowl in 3-D, or the World Cup soccer finals.

I'd go.

Before you write a shitty fanfiction about a hardcore otaku, and before you go through a list of everything said hardcore otaku watches in the evening, I'm pretty sure that you need to A. Stop being 13, B. Get your ass off of Cartoon Network and find out what shows are actually STILL AIRING in Japan today. Rattling through the short list of your the character's "opinions" on Naruto, DeathNote, Inuyasha, Bleach, Code Geass, and Full Metal Alchemist was painful. Inuyasha finished airing 4 years ago! And then there was this part -

"She also watched Full Metal Alchemist and Code Geass, but I think that those shows are gay, so I won’t talk about them." - WTF?!

As if that American teenager ADD lineup of shounen actionspaz is all that a hardcore otaku in Japan would watch. She prefers bishoujou and seinen to shounen. Do you even know what those words mean? Do you know what I'm talking about? The show you're writing for IS a seinen. The both of us are out of the demographic for it, but you need to get out and stay out. Come back when you've actually gone to high school.

Remember not to talk about it if it's gay, though!

(No offense to anyone who enjoys the above mentioned shows. I myself love Inuyasha, it's just the principle of the thing.)
