A Fun Weekend



I had a fun and full weekend. On Friday night I took all of my neighbors to the Moolah Shrine Circus. Here is a picture of me in my Shriners hat holding Shelly Solomon. I really enjoyed the Circus and look forward to being more involved in it next year.

On Saturday we were planning on attending a fair at the Daniel Boone home, but it was rained out. Instead I spent the day at home getting all of our DeMolay materials organized. On Saturday evening we had our friends the Solomons over for dinner. After dinner we watched one of my favorite movies "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind".

This morning I tried getting all of our DeMolay photographs organized. At 11am I took 13 people to a Saint Louis Cardinals baseball game. It was my first time at the new stadium. The family had a great time and the Cardinals blew out the Washington Nationals 9-2.

This evening I started setting up a weblog for Troy DeMolay. So far all I have done is upload some photographs. In the upcoming week I will try to annotate them all and flesh out the blog. I will use it to keep the Chapter abreast of current activities.

I realize this post doesn't really say much of anything, I just felt like bumping that creepy looking alien picture in the last post.

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

Image
"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
