Movie Review: Pandorum

January 20th, 2010 · 1 Comment

My son went to see Book of Eli, last night. You know my opinion on that movie. Despite the IMDB rating, I found the ending to be poor, mostly because of how they pandered to the religious view of the Bible and offered no entertainment value in the last 20 minutes. I felt motivated to [...]

Regeneration

January 2nd, 2010 · No Comments

I just finished watching the Christmas 2009 Doctor Who special, The End of Time (pt. 2). In this episode, David Tennant bids us farewell. His death has been much anticipated and obviously, on his part, dreaded. This has given us a very sullen and sad Doctor, for this special and The Waters of Mars. But, [...]

Snowy Sunday

December 20th, 2009 · No Comments

More stuff and more commitments leads to confusion, complexity and stress. Yet, for some reason I set myself up by always adding more things to worry about, and by taking on more projects. Then there’s the unexpected. Don’t even get me started on that… It’s a nice enough Sunday. The snow is coming down. I [...]

Sticky Buns

November 22nd, 2009 · 3 Comments

It’s noon, on a Sunday in late November, and I happen to find myself at the office. As it turns out, when there’s important work to be done, I can’t trust myself to be near a comfortable bed. So, I showered and dressed (even on a Sunday they tend to appreciate that at the office) [...]

As if to say, “Hi, the LHC is up and proton beams are zipping about the accelerator, smashing into one another. And, by the way, I’m using a Macbook Pro.” I have a feeling you won’t find black holes, or Windows 7 at the LHC. Hells yeah! [Read the article.] [Source]

October 30th, 2009 · 2 Comments

And, the beat goes on… as that guy used to say. October has come and gone, the winds and rain have done their thing and it has been cold and warm and in-between. A lot has happened this past month. I realize I don’t blog much, that’s just a sign that I have too much [...]

Labor Day Weekend

September 4th, 2009 · No Comments

Happy Labor Day Weekend! I am soooo glad the weekend is here. After a root canal, a long work week and evenings spent on this latest course design, I’m ready for it. I got in early the past two days, to beat the bridge traffic, so I left early today. The new Jeep has tire [...]
