For some time now I have been keeping a list of the movies I would love to own someday. In general I tried to keep modern movies off of this list, since they are rarely if ever available. A few modern films have crept into the list, simply as an indication of how much I love that particular film.

I believe this list is fairly complete. As you will note it is heavy on comedies and science fiction. This is a reflection of my personal taste in films and the kind of films I like to show. If you feel there are any absolutely gross errors of omission, please let me know.

The top of the image shows the films in my current collection. There is a blank area leaving room for new acquisitions. This list represents my 'bidding list'. I do not intend to bid on any films that are not on this list. Likewise, if any of these films ever come up for auction, I will pursue them if it is within my means to do so.

Here is the list, in a pictorial format:

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
