  • Ms. Geek Speaks: DMCA and How Can We Control Trolls? May 1, 2021
    On my blog, I don’t automatically publish comments, even those that are complimenting my writing. I now think the best practice is not to publish comments that come from anonymous accounts, particularly WordPress accounts that seem like nothing more than placeholders or a gateway to comment on other WordPress accounts. When I first received a […]

  • An Iliad for a Modern World: Stream it! ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎ April 30, 2021
    The Noise Within production of Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare modern take on Homer’s “The Iliad” (based on the translation by Robert Fagles) is a one-person show with a choice. You can choose who you take the journey with: Deborah Strang or Geoff Elliott. Both interpretations are directed by Julia Rodriguez-Elliott and have their strengths, […]

  • Ms. Geek Speaks: Trolls, Cyberstalkers and the Race Card April 12, 2021
    On inauguration day, 20 January 2021, Yelp let me know that they had taken down a review by a troll who seems to be part of a loose trolling tag team or a troll tribe (See below). That’s a minor victory and she wasn’t targeting me. She was targeting a business and not one she […]

  • ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’: Are You Team Kong ⭐︎⭐︎ or Team Godzilla⭐︎? March 31, 2021
    How the film “Godzilla vs. Kong” plays depends to a certain extent on whether you’re Team Kong or Team Godzilla. Team Godzilla might be disappointed because this film focuses on King Kong and the girl who he means to protect, Jia. If you’re a scientist, then you’ll have to throw all analytical thinking down the […]

  • See You Then ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎ March 27, 2021
    There are few things worse than finding out one of your former loves left you and decided to change course in their love life. In the case of performance artist and now college instructor (Lynn Chen) her romance with Kris (Pooya Mohseni) ended abruptly. He didn’t just decide he wasn’t interested in women any more. […]

  • Broadcast Signal Intrusion ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎ March 27, 2021
    While it’s delightful to see Harry Shum Jr. in a lead role, this dark intense film doesn’t take advantage of either his charm or his dancerly moves. Instead, we are led down a rabbit hole in a pre-cyber surfing world. It’s the late 1990s, a time when the internet was new and cellphones were clunky […]

  • ‘Islands’ ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎ Both Real and Metaphorical (Canada) March 27, 2021
    A terminal illness prematurely aged my father into cane to walker to wheelchair dependence. Life slows down when you live and care for the elderly. Now, my rhythms are slowed by the constant need to encourage an elderly large dog to walk outside.  I remember when he once pranced in AKC shows, finally winning his […]

  • Have fun with ‘The Fabulous Filipino Brothers’ –SXSW Online 202 March 27, 2021
    For director Dante Basco and screenwriters Dante Basco, Darion Basco, Dionysio Basco and Arianna Basco, this film, ‘The Famulous Filipino Brothers,’ is truly a family affair, but while I’ll leave it up to you to decide if they are truly fabulous, they are funny. The Bascos have many show business credits between them–acting, writing and […]
