Disney has to make an announcement about a Studios expansion soon, right?
Month: September 2014
Yes, I have already started hunting for Clemson – Star Wars t-shirts.

The New Kindle Voyage
Today, Amazon released the new [Kindle Voyage](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GDQDRPK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00GDQDRPK&linkCode=as2&tag=johkiv-20&linkId=EGBY3TATPKNHF6W5)[^aff], an upgrade over the existing [Kindle Paperwhite](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JG8GOWU/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00JG8GOWU&linkCode=as2&tag=johkiv-20&linkId=6FOYAV5OGJTWOPOI). It looks like a really awesome reader, but I am going to have to wait for some reviews before I can say that it’s $100 better than the Paperwhite.[^note]
[^aff]: Affiliate Link (as is the post link and the other links in this post.)
[^note]: I have a Kindle Paperwhite that I absolutely love it. Also, it’s unclear from Amazon’s announcement whether or not the Paperwhite will be sold going forward.
New stuff from Canon, Sony, and Fujifilm.

Harley and Ivy by Bruce Timm
I would be fine if Bruce Timm drew everything.
Castillo and Mookie Betts are the only reason I am still half paying attention to the end of this season.
I would pick Narcoossee’s, and it’s not even close.
At least something good happened in the NFL this week.
This book has been on my “to read” list for years. I guess I should finally read it before it becomes a tv series.
Tom Staggs just made the announcement:
> So I’m pleased to say that we’re starting construction at Walt Disney World Resort on a brand new “Frozen” attraction at the Norway Pavilion in Epcot. The new attraction, which replaces Maelstrom, will take our guests to Arendelle and immerse them in many of their favorite moments and music from the film. The pavilion will also include a royal greeting location where Anna and Elsa can meet our guests. We think these “Frozen” elements are great compliments to the Norway Pavilion, which showcases the country and region that inspired the film.
Personally, I am in favor of this change. Yes, I will miss Maelstrom, but I think switching to a Frozen-themed ride is the right way to go.

Official Batmobile Photo Released
I am not particularly hopeful that this movie will be any good, but this batmobile looks pretty cool.
Hopefully Pedroia is back to his old self by the start of next season.
This looks like it was a pretty awesome show. I wish Disney World would put something like as an afternoon parade in Epcot or the Studios.
This was horrific to watch. I hope Stanton can make a full recovery.
Alex Speier writing at *WEEI*:
> Now, at the least, Betts has a chance to assert himself as a player with sufficient versatility to offer the Sox coverage at a number of spots on the field. The Sox have been getting a look at him in center (where he’s been a fairly solid option even as a work in progress) and right (where he has more work to do, given that he’d never played the position before a crash course there in late June). He’s verified the Sox’ suspicions that he can play there.
I am going to be bummed if the Red Sox get rid of Betts **or** Pedroia. There has to be a way to keep, and play, them both.

Sigma Announces new 18-300 Sigma Lens
More details over at [my photography blog](http://photography.kivusandcamera.com/2014/09/new-18-300-sigma-lenses-for-aps-c-sensor-camera/).
I think this might be a decent way to pre-game before Illuminations.

Meet Arrow’s Ra’s al Ghul
If they can get permission to use a Batman villain like Ra’s al Ghul, can’t they bring Harley to the small screen?
The NCAA is ridiculous. Sometimes I wonder of they are just trying to punk us by being this stupid.
If this kind of app is possible in iOS 8, I have a feeling that release is going be a proverbial “game changer.”
