I am now running the site on Expression Engine. While Wordpress is very capable with many, many plugins to extend its functionality I found that it came at a price. Many haphazardly coded plugins means much time slugging through incompatibilities and unworking code.
Expression Engine is clean, easy and wildly flexible. Many things I struggled with in Wordpress are a breeze and the things that are harder aren’t worth it anyway. It also gave me the opportunity to start from scratch and clean up some CSS and HTML a bit, make things look nicer.
The trailer makes this look like a remake of Short Circuit. Little more than a rehashing of previous Pixar greatness with a very brief clip of the movie, this is by far the least exciting of the Pixar teasers (even counting Cars which was worrying.) The teasers for Monsters, Inc. and The Incredibles were so cool it’s hard to understand why a teaser as lazy as this one escaped. Every Pixar movie scares me because my expectations are so high; I’d hate to be disappointed.
I have chosen my fifteen favorite movies. I’ll be posting something about each of them, starting with these, the ones that didn’t make the list.

...for a six year old. And my six year old loves it. Which is the point, as it were. Superman is the kind of hero you wanted to be when playing games as a kid.
"Bang! Bang! You’re dead!"
"NO! I’m bullet proof, and anyways I’m faster than a speeding bullet!"
"AhhhHA! I’ve caught you!"
"NO! I flew away! And I have XRAY vision and laser eyes and I can hear everything."
"Well, I’m really strong and I just threw a car at you!"
"...but I’m stronger than steel!"
