i started on a cs degree but found it really dry. they wanted to talk about it wayyyyy more than actually DO it (err... program that is), and i had already been programming on my own for so long.
anywho, i switched to a school that had Multimedia and Web Design since i've always had a thing for creating and i haven't regretted it yet. i figure there's a ton of middle ground in the web-programmer area to keep me happy for a long time.
3 weeks ago. and then i watched the movie, then the mini-series.
i found the movie to be very old looking. while it may have been cutting edge in its day, it is no longer (but i can forgive that). they made up stuff (sound-weapons anyone??) and left out a ton of stuff since they only had two hours.
the scifi miniseries i found stuck MUCH more closely to the actual book (and i DID just read it), and the special effects were up to date (even if low-budgeted).
it's funny though, my dad loves the movie more. maybe it's a generational thing.
*shrug*
neither of them SUCK (unless maybe u hate the story). it's just a preference thing, chill people:)
... so I unnerstand how you feel.
I think they may reset theirs once a year.
(And no, don't ask me why I have an AOL account. Bottom line is I don't pay much for it and I don't rely on it for anything important:p )
