15 days and counting. The complete fourth season dvd set for Doctor Who will be released in the United States on November 18. Making Thanksgiving come a little earlier this year. The fourth season has some great episodes, but the final three make for a fantastic pay off; with more guest stars than you can shake a stick at.

With only a handful of specials planned for 2009 (returning in 2010 with a full series) these episodes are your best hope of not going through withdrawals, though admittedly the first special will air on the BBC this Christmas. Knowing that David Tennant announced his departure from Doctor Who last week, will mean the next several months will be filled with speculation on his replacement. It will also put special light on the handful of specials next year, his final episodes.

FileMaker opened up registration for the 2009 FileMaker Developer Conference today. The conference will be held at the San Francisco Hilton from August 13-16. This will be a great break from the typical Phoenix locale, that though beautiful is quite warm in August. Early registration provides a $300 discount off the full rate; expiring on January 31, 2009. Starting today you can also reserve your room at the Hilton at the discounted group rate, which I did this morning. See you there.
