We started Eat Our Brains over on Blogger with the first post being dated 24 October 2006.
In the year and month since we started EoB, we’ve written 737 posts and, between us and our readers, have generated over 5,319 comments.
Kismet means fate in several middle eastern languages and came to English from the Turkish. Akismet is our comment spam filtering service/plugin and it ROCKS.
As of a few minutes ago, we were 52 away from 20,000 comment spams.
So, for every one comment we get, we get 4 spams.
I guess we can think of them as zombies.
They want our brains.

Okay, I’ve been thinking about my (quite easy) posts dealing with the movie news about the Jumper movie.
Boring? Inappropriate? Gross self-promotion?
I mean, Brad once produced an entire video documentary that might as well have been titled, “Steven Gould: Wanker or… Wanker?”
I’ve actually duplicated all the posts about the movie on my own recently renovated site and I’m wondering if I should just put them there and do the occasional one line pointer from here when there is new posts. (Two actually: one and two.)
So, could you sound off in the comments for this post. I will be putting the news on my site but it’s very easy to put the same post at each location. Please indicate your preference (Braniacs, too, please.)

They list Small, Medium, Large, and IPod, but the Large link doesn’t work. The Medium link is smaller than the one at the official movie site but really about the same resolution.
I do like the graphic.

So, Meatspace is that non-cybernet area where you haul your meat around. In this case, specifically, I’m talking about hauling your meat to the cinema.
I’ve been told that the Jumper trailer was playing in front of American Gangster and Hitman in theaters (though I haven’t seen it myself on the big screen.) I’ve also been told that people are seeing largish displays (in one case a very large, over sized poster, maybe ten feet high.)
If you’ve seen the trailer or the poster, out there, or TV spots, perhaps, could you comment here and let me know?
