Most white collar jobs, are just that. They require a person to be well dressed. The second half of my first year in my current profession I started wearing a dress shirt and a tie along with the dress slacks that I already was always wearing. It’s not required, but I still decided this would … Continue reading
I just finished watching High Plains Drifter for about the 10th time, and this time it was extra special, seeing it with Vanessa. She really enjoyed it quite a bit. Clint Eastwood plays a man known only as “The Stranger”, and he literally appears out of the haze of the heat of the desert. He … Continue reading
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, I’d like to talk about TED, “a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading” and their annual conferences. Actually I haven’t much to say.I only learned about it recently because LXD was one of the speakers this year.Such a shame really, I feel like I should have known … Continue reading
I’m going to have to place myself within that small, practically non-existent minority of nerds that didn’t like the movie Bronson. Yes, Tom Hardy is quite good, but what do you expect? He’s British. Name three british people who can’t act. Stumped? Yeah, me too. All kidding aside, this played out like A Clockwork Orange … Continue reading
Alice In Wonderland is out today, and I can’t say that I’m too excited about it. Besides how unnecessary it is to adapt this book again, Tim Burton’s cinematic output in the last 15 years has been a little. . . weaksauce. Here’s my list of favorite Burtons, from best to worst: 1. Batman Returns … Continue reading

It’s like the flood gates have opened and now EVERYBODY thinks they can write. I’ve been spending a lot of time trying to figure out which side of … Continue reading
Recently I noticed the first season of the 80’s GI JOE cartoon hit DVD again. Now, I am not foolish enough nor nostalgic enough to buy these things, but it got me thinking about the show again. For years in the 90’s I looked back on particular episodes with that hazy awe those of us … Continue reading
My first engineering project was a design for a cart made of wood that I planned to build and then pedal fast and proud up and down my neighborhood street. I’d sit close to the ground at the height of the wheels, legs jutted out in front of me, pedaling at high speeds while sitting … Continue reading
Took a trip down I-75 last week, a couple days of which were dedicated to Disney World. I was last there in ’99 with my family, so I was eager to go on some of my favorite rides again. Sadly. . . Splash Mountain was closed. Such is life. But, I was wholly satisfied with … Continue reading
So my time traveling assistant Takashi has had some time off. In fact, at our quarterly meeting he revealed to me that he had hired a new accomplice to help in the construction a new Time Machine while he was on holiday. This perplexed and excited me, until I saw the designs: it was a … Continue reading
