Friends and Neighbors



Last evening our friends Diane and Lenny came over for dinner along with their whole family. Afterwards we went up to Windjammer Point to hear the group 'That 80's Band' perform. They were awesome as always!

I don't really have anything to say today but I wanted to upload a few photographs from last night. My wife is still getting the hang of her new camera and it sure does some odd things when you photograph at night. Some of the images look a bit wild with blurs, smears, and other effects from a long exposure while holding the camera in a shaky hand.




I don't think it is fair to call Brigitta a Desperate Housewife. I can't see anything Desperate about her.



Our friend Brigitta is clearly *not* a drunk hot chick. In fact, she spent the whole evening making and selling popcorn for a community youth group.



I have titled this photograph Lake Saint Louis Hot Mom or LSL Hot Mom if you prefer. I believe Brigitta has demonstrated sufficiently that she deserves this title and may some day be a higher hit on google for that search term than Diane Brown.



A time action photograph of my nephew Charlie using an illuminated Yo-Yo. A local bank was giving away free light-up Yo-Yo's all evening. Charlie is a Yo-Yo Master champion and owns a $700 Yo-Yo designed by NASA. (Or something like that. Still he's really good!)



A photograph of Cole who had a bunch of light up bracelets around his arm.



Diane and my lovely wife Terry.




My good friend Lenny.

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
