If I had tags, this would be tagged “old story”. If I weren’t lazy, I’d have a link to my working guest book, too. As Kurt Vonnegut says, “So it goes.” Have you ever wondered how you would react in a specific situation? Would you face down the gunman threatening the room? Would you stand…

I’ve been online since around 1992. That year I got my first e-mail account, learned how to make use of telnet and determined that UNIX and I were definitely never going to be friends. I’ve talked to a lot of people in that time and in the beginning I bothered to meet them in real…

The fifth anniversary of the day the towers fell has come and gone. I had thought about posting my pictures of the towers, but they’re part of my memories and the media has already been saturated with those images. I remember on one of my trips standing next to one of the towers and looking…

On the SciFi network’s website there are now new “webisodes” of BSG that are being released every Tuesday and Thursday at midnight up until the new season begins. If you are not caught up on the show, restrain yourself from going there; too much is given away in a single shot and the latest “webisode”…
