I just got my copy of "Lady and the Tramp" yesterday, as well as my solar panel set up. The copy of "Lady and the Tramp" has some color shift, torwards blue green instead of pure blue but, apparently, it's still considered 'excellent color' by collectors standards. It's going to take me a while to really get the hang of all of the details on this hobby.

I just found out there is a 16mm film collectors club in the St. Louis area. It has been in existance for 11 years and has about 25 members. They have a movie showing on the 3rd Saturday of every month at a member's home. They are having a showing this Saturday of Woody Allen's "Radio Days". Apparently the guy who is sponsoring the showing has a theatre in his home with 16mm, 35mm, and DLP! Wow, I can't wait to meet these people and become involved with the organization. I have already volunteered to show "The Court Jester" at our home this August.

I scored a really fun print today, I paid $50 a a copy of "Who's on First" with Abbot and Costello!! What a classic short to show!

I had to update my poll questions today, because I sold "Mary Poppins" and just acquired "Lady and the Tramp". Feel free to vote on your favorite feature (from my personal collection). Thanks!

Planetside Screenshots

I realize that this post is going to cause some Web-Wiplash, but I think that is ok. For years I have held onto some old Planetside screenshots that I wanted to post online some day. After scouring an old hard drive yesterday these are the ones I came up with. Still, I know I am missing many of the screenshots I really wanted to keep. Especially ones from when the game was very early in development. I designed the entire client side game engine myself and I had a lot of fun during the development process. 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
