Movie adaptations rarely satisfy. This is true not just of written material (like Lord of the Rings) but also movie adaptations of TV shows. (Let's be honest: Serenity was not as satsfying as Firefly.) The same, naturally, applies to comic books as well. I think it's mostly due to the limits of the medium. A novel can be hundreds of pages, a TV show can go for years, and even a comic book is too long and complex to be compressed to a 90 minute film.

I just wanted a Wordpress plugin that would publish to my Facebook news feed.  Turns out such a thing doesn't exist.  The best alternative is Wordbook, which will publish new blog posts to my Facebook profile.  So if you're on Facebook and you want to see if Jordan has a new blog post, you have to visit my profile.  This is less convenient than using an RSS feed or subscribing, both of which were already available on my blog.  So I don't know why I bothered.  Ah well.

My posts now automatically appear on my Facebook feed.  This kinda kills the point of Facebook's new reorganization.  I've read that the reason they changed things yet again was to compete with Twitter, a program that lets you quickly update your status any time.  I don't "tweet," at least not yet, but if I'm going to make announcements online I'm more likely to do it through my blog anyway.  Now that my blog is connected to Facebook, I'm much less likely to use the Facebook status update feature any more.
