Well thought I'd brush some dust of this old blog and see if anyone still reads this thing. It would be interesting since no one really read it to begin with.
Things of note...baby is almost here. I'm accepting male name suggestions.
Other things of note...I'm working on a large scale zombie boardgame, chance of completion...zero.
I finally hooked up my home stereo to the PC, funneling an endless stream of mp3's straight to a system worthy of playing them.
I sold my Atari 2600 and Genesis...sniff. Sold my Battletech manuals and sourcebooks. This massive sell off of equipment and gear is all in preparation of my master plan.
I find it interesting that the voice of Optimus Prime is the voice of Eeyore.
There's a nice podcast from a Heroscape designer here He reveals that there will be a brand new master set with all new terrain and units!!! WOOHOO!!!
OK thats it.

Just because I resemble it...
I don't mean the band...I mean the genre.
In summation:
"Euros have indirect competition to maximize efficiency and earn favors of the king.
Ameritrash has nukes." -Mixo

Spoke with some of my students the other day about the significance of Martin Luther King and his sacrifice for social injustice and so on. I asked what they thought about him and if they thought his death was meaningful. They said they could care less about him and that he was an idiot for getting shot. These are inner city African American's saying this. I was a bit shocked to say the least.
Well, I appreciate the day off anyway.
In other news, the website Pandora.com has awesome streaming audio. Check it out.

Rap I can Laugh with Rather than at
The filth and dreck I'm forced to stomach at school is mind numbing.
I wish I could force the kids to watch this.

Hey Guys
Just a few cool things I've been playing with:
Check out www.microbeworld.org
Sweet website with a daily podcast detailing the days recent outbreaks of horrible diseases around the world. Pneumonic Plague in a diamond in Africa is the latest gem. Pneumonic of course being the respiratory version of the Bubonic plague.
The other is even better. Although one might question it's legality...might.
It's called www.gomusic.ru A Russian mp3 webstore. The great thing is that the mp3's sell for $0.15. Entire albums go for $1 or $2. How can you beat that? I can by 8-10 albums for the price of one!!
Is it legal? Well Verisign is doing their online credit payments. Although the US has requested that another similar website be blocked by the Russian government, this one is still operating so I guess it's cool. It certainly is cheap!
Oh and the MP3's are great, the selection is both broad and deep.
There ya go.

Machine Guns in Space!
An asteroid will pass within the orbits of our geosynchronous satellites in the year 2029!! This near miss will alter its trajectory to a potential catastrophic impact in 2036!!! This massive rock hurtling at hereto unknown speeds is appropriately named Asteroid 2004 MN4!
Several estimations have approximated the impact as occurring 680 miles off the California Coast in the Pacific Ocean. Dum-dum-duhhhh!!!
So we are now trying to design manned orbiters to land on Asteroid 2004 MN4 in order to push it further away. Steve Buscemi and Ben Affleck have officially signed on to the project. Nasa is reported to be in negotiations to request better lander designs by Micheal Bay, specifically a larger, "more awesome", machine gun.

Birch Mountain's Final Days
I couldn't be more excited. The Birch Mountain is about to tie the knot. And an extravaganza of such masculine excess is about to happen this weekend that it will blot out the entire neighborhood in waves of testosterone induced glee.
I'm particularly looking forward to spanking everyone in a massive game of Heroscape, followed closely by further spankage in the realm of Diplomacy, although I believe Dred Ben might give me a run for my money as he seems to rock my world every time we but heads in WWII. I'm hoping the 30 year differential might give me a edge.
And Weapons and Warriors!? I can't wait to see those little orange balls go flying! I call the trebuchet!
Long live Birch Mountain! Long life his wife to be! We need a name for her!
I think thats going to be one of this weekends shirts. Long Live Birch Mountain.

See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!
Nope not me being weird. That's Paul, probably ripping the quill out of the scribes hand as he pens his last few thoughts to the confused church of Galatia. Galatians 6:11
That line screams authenticity, probably more than many I've read in the Bible.
Or how about how he wishes that the Christians who started this whole debacle about circumcision would go and finish the job and CASTRATE themselves!!! Galatians 5:11-12
He must have had some temper, I think he might have been a bit more tempermental than Peter.
Paul was the bomb.

The Lineage will not die with me
No it will continue until my descendents are more than the sand on the shore. Well, perhaps not, but at least it will extend one further generation. The Spouse is carrying our First Born Son!!!
No baseball and football for this little sion of the Clan, but Euro-games and Sci-fiction will nurture and support him in his growing years. He will become what his father has striven to be.
A GEEK.
