It really looks great.
VueScan supports the CanoScan LiDE 120, which I tested it with.
It watermarks what it scans, unless you buy it. It’s not worth $50 for something decent, because my scanner cost that. $100 to get OCR cooked-in also isn’t worth it.

Hercules explained as fiction instead of mythology.
An adequate movie.

Yet another buddy cop movie, but this time instead of <random race> it is an Orc, and instead of </random><random drugs> it’s magic.
An adequate movie.

An unlikely little hero is swept into an travel-adventure through dangerous lands to recapture the lost treasures of a fallen Dwarvish kingdom.
Considered a classic fantasy book, it’s definitely a children’s book from it’s narrative tone. It’s slow and awkward in a lot of places, and takes too long to pick up into anything interesting for me. Perhaps it’s because I had read it long ago, and perhaps it’s because of the staggering quality of its associated movies, but I didn’t like it.
Definitely not recommended as an entry into fantasy fiction, in spite of its popularity. Veterans of the genre may as well read this just to say they have.
Published 1982-01
Adapted into a movie which I don’t have notes on.

The United States Navy discovers a crashed craft, and includes a cross-disciplinary team in its investigation.
I liked it, though I found it rather simple. I had already seen the movie that was inspired by this book, which I really liked, and that likely coloured my views.

A program for various WordPress functions, so you can script/automate or just do things at the commandline.
An essential time-saver.

Hundreds of years from now, surviving humans discover how to send consciousness back through time, into people of the 21st century, while attempting to change the path of humanity.
Kinda not bad.

Its first impression is that it’s sort of Star Trek parody-thing, it quickly unfolds into its own unique space-adventure-drama.
Fantastic originality and mood. Recommended, rapidly approaching highly recommended.
Verdict: While it’s good, it’s not great, at least not for me. I got bored in the first couple of episodes of season two. Definitely recommended for anyone who enjoyed the first several episodes.
Like other shows these days, I became interested in this purely because “those people” “hate” it.
