The New Masonic Temple building, where my lodge Naphtali #25 meets once a month, just got showcased on "Show Me St. Louis" KSDK channel 5!

You can view the story online from this link!!

How very exciting! This is the 80th year anniversary of the dedication of the Temple in October of 1926. This October I hope to be able to give an eductional lecture about the building of the temple based on materials I am slowly gathering.

One final note for anyone who wanders into this place....

This is my personal web log! It is filled with photographs of my children, my vacations, and my random thoughts. It is not 'official' in any way and, even though I may talk about subjects of interest to me in my personal life (Freemasonry, DeMolay, or the Temple), it does not represent any sanctioned material.

I babble on here about comparative religion, UFOs, history, philosophy, and all manner of nonsense. There is nothing on this website that is particularily 'profane', but plenty of it would meet the text-book definition of 'weird' by most community standards.

Last night I made a brief post comparing Leprachauns to UFO aliens only to have it get picked up by a major UFO news service. All day long I have been getting streams of traffic from the UFO review website which, by the way, happens to contain an eclectic selection of news bytes and other trivia.

So, if you stumbled across this web log from any of a wide variety of sources, please don't take anything here too seriously. In the worst case just look at the pretty pictures and avoid the weird words....

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

Just now who's crazy?

Just a follow-up to yesterday's post about Dr. Steven Greer and his paranoid fantasies. One of Greer's most popular paranoid fantasies is that there is a secret cabal, comprising members of government, industry, and religious leaders, who suffer from eschatological delusions and are co-ordinating a massive world-wide effort to bring about the 'end-times'. Sound's pretty nuts doesn't it? I think so to. I don't buy into paranoid conspiracy theories because they are based, not on evidence but, rather, the *lack* of evidence. Dr. Greer's theories include the idea that 9-11 was actually executed by this secret cabal and that a missile, not an airplane, struck the Pentagon (I guess I should go tell the families of those poor folks who were on the plane that hit the Pentagon about that..) In fact, I find these kinds of bizarre paranoid conspiracy theories dangerous, destructive, and borderline treasonous. The Internet may be a powerful tool to spread truth
