Short note to anybody who wandered here from the film-center forum. This blog site is really stupid, boring, and personal, and not really about 16mm films. However, because I am a 16mm film collector, I have some links and a couple of blog posts about my experiences and observations with 16mm collecting. I have one blog post about 'how I got into 16mm film collecting', and another one about my thoughts on what makes a 'good film' to show as a social event. Ignore everything else on the site because you might die from boredom.

BTW, just for the heck of it, I'm going to try to keep up my chat rooms when I'm sitting at my computer. Just click on this link if you want to chat about anything on my website.

Hey 16mm Doug, sorry I missed you. I was out to lunch. Had my first chat hit and I was AFK. Somebody can ping me any time, I'm here for the rest of the day.

One of my regrets is that, in many respects, the final game did not look nearly as visually impressive as it did at certain points during development. There were a number of reasons for this. One was from a technology stand point. Most developers of an MMO game engine might assume it would be reasonable to stream data in as a player moved around the environment. That was certainly my original design. However, once the game got into heavy beta testing there was a strong push to get eve

Ten Reasons *NOT* to become a Freemason

"Why I became (and proudly remain) an 'antient' Freemason" Well, I see no reason I cannot make a Freemason themed post. Last evening I attended a third degree at Naphtali lodge. It was my candidate being raised, my friend William Bean. It was an incredible night, especially since we had 28 Master Masons present for the event which was held at the incredible Masonic Temple in midtown Saint Louis. My friends Right Worshipful Brother Chris Neubold, Russ Tinker, Densel Webb, and Fred Statler drove down all of the way from Wentzville and Troy; over an hour drive each way. I acted as the Senior Steward and Junior Deacon for the ceremony. This was the largest gathering of Masons we have had in as long as anyone could remember for a degree. It is so very gratifying to see Naphtali growing and area members supporting the lodge. After the degree Jesse's wife Meryl provided a lovely dinner in the dining room where we shared fellowship and conversation. All of this had me thi
