From the master of terror Stephen King comes another terrifying movie called The Mist.  I have been a long time fan of Stephen King and have read almost all of his books.  While I have not yet read this book most of the time the books are better than the movies.  I think this is going to be a tough one.  After watching the 2 trailers they have on The Mist website it looks like this movie is going to be phenomenal.  The Mist was a short story written in 1985.  I have not read this story yet so I just ordered it and look forward to reading it.  I cannot wait until the movie hits the theaters.  I usually do not go to the movies because it is so expensive these days but I think I will have to go see this movie.

The Mist by Stephen King looks like it will be a box office hit, head on over to The Mist website and watch the trailers that they have posted, they also have buddy icons, wallpapers and a screen saver that you can download.  They make the movie look so good.  There are a lot of movies that spread hype about the movie and after you watch it you sit thinking why was the preview better than the actual movie.  I doubt that will be the case with this one, Stephen King has written some really good novels which have been turned into movies.  A few of my favorites are 1408 and Rose Red.  If you have not seen those and you like scary movies then you need to do yourself a favor and go watch those as well.

Ever since I updated to Leopard I have been having issues with my WiFi network.  I seem to be the only system having the issues but then again I am the only one that has a mac.  For some reason OS X feels it needs to report to me that the wireless network has been compromised and will be disabled for about a minute.  I have never had this issue in the past and am not sure if the router is just not compatible with the mac.  It seems to happen every few days and when we looked in the router, there is no way anyone is accessing the network who is not supposed to be.  We have it secured with a WPA key.  If anyone here has any idea what could be causing this please leave me a comment.  I would love to never see this dialog again

For those of you out there who don’t want to learn yet another language but still want to develop for the OS X platform you are in luck.  Wez Furlong has been working on some code that will allow you to consume the frameworks that you can use with Objective-C.  With this bridge you can use PHP programming to develop applications.  This is a very neat accomplishment by Wez.  They have cooked up a small ping class with a GUI front-end.

While it is still in the early stages you will most likely need a fair amount of C and Objective-C knowledge to make things work.  I look forward to seeing how this evolves as time goes on.  You can read more about this and see the example images on Wez’s post.
