Junior Warden of Naphtali Lodge #25



This evening I was honored to be elected Junior Warden of Naphtali Lodge #25 in Saint Louis that meets at the New Masonic Temple at 3681 Lindell Boulevard.

Brother Chris Baldas was elected Worshipful Master for the upcoming term. I am very excited about our growing lodge in the next year. I am hopeful that new students arriving for the fall term at Saint Louis University will consider the world's oldest and most honorable Fraternity as their own. Why join a Fraternity that lasts only a few years when you can join one which spans the globe and lasts for a lifetime?

This evening I received an email from Brother William Pesson in France. He is an architect writing a book that includes Masonic architecture. I took the following pictures this evening and I am excited if one of them ends up in his book. If you click on one of the images it will bring up a higher resolution version. If you are interested in a print quality image just email me and I will send you the link.

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
