Water music

Okay so ever since I watched "Human Error" Voyager, I've been trying to find a song that was on that episode.

Finally I have found it!!!

Robert Schumann's "Of Foreign Countries and People" from "Scenes Of Childhood" (Opus 15, No 1) and Frederick Chopin's Barcarolle in F#, Op.60.

both are great!

Movies Movies Movies

So Recently I just ordered netflix, and have been watching quite a number of movies that I have always wanted to watch but never could. Here are some of my recommendations:

The Greatest Game Ever Played - The true story about a golfer who against all odds plays golf. I found the directing to be excellent. The story sped up and slowed down at just the right places. The director has a very creative way to portray the game of golf through the eyes of the people playing it.

The Great Robot Race - a Documentary about the true robot race held in the desert. CMU, Stanford, and other teams all build robots to win this race. Being from CMU, and having the opportunity to work on the GM collaborative project, I did enjoy seeing CMU make a strong showing. I wonder if my feeling concerning the CMU robot is similiar to rooting for a football team from a good school like USC, or UT.

BattleStar Galactica, the Miniseries - This is a reimagining of the original Battlestar Galactica. BG (battlestar galactica) does a great job of portraying real people in space. I think BG makes for more interesting episodes than Star Trek. Star Trek has this "Disney"-esque, in that the villians, and the good guys are very clearly defined. They do experiment with some character evolution but its not prevalent. In BG, the characters are a lot more complex, and that makes their interactions with each other a lot more interesting. Star Trek always likes to re-show the "I want to be human" character juxtaposed against real humans. Im talking about the spock/data/seven of nine characters. Enough already, its been beaten to death!
