Breaking Your Computer

Breaking Your Computer

Most hard drives carry a warning label as seen in figure 4.1, threatening dire things if you play with the drive. These should be ignored. Better yet, they should be blatantly violated, perhaps by drilling straight through the warning label or cracking it open and then reassembling the broken label and mounting it on a plaque to show everyone how Tough and Unabashed you are.

The Boat

The Boat

The Boat is a riveting movie of a small boat, built from the parts of an old dehumidifier, leaving the dock at beautiful Lake Halice in Urbandale, Iowa. The boat encounters wildlife amidst it’s journey, and goes far out into the lake – only to return to the very dock that launched it. Very compelling.

Lars Bergstrom is one of the least known of all of the lesser known filmmakers, yet the depth of “The Boat” will grab you by the heart, like no other movie that you have ever seen, as you watch this modern-day “prodigal son” return with his pirate flag intact.

“One of the best dehumidifier-boat movies that I have seen this season.” – Andy Schultz
