The Lake Saint Louis Halloween Party 2006 : with Max Thrust


(Just one of the lovely ladies in attendance at the Lake Saint Louis Halloween party)


Last evening my wife and I attended the annual Lake Saint Louis halloween party at the CA. Once again the band Max Thrust provided the entertainment. Our friends Diane and Lenny came along and I tried to take photographs of every costume there. It has gotten to the point that I have become sort of the official un-official photographer of these Max Thrust events. If you really like a photograph of yourself on this site just email me and I will get you a copy of the print resolution version.

If you would prefer to view the pictures in album form you can use this link. As always, you can click on any of the images to view a larger version.

For those of you who wandered in here from KingSolomons lodge, enjoy a slice of life when a suburban Freemason is not sitting in lodge.

Planetside Screenshots

Image
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

How to become a Freemason?

I decided to make a post this evening based on an analysis of blog track-backs to this site. Over the past month or so I get a significant amount of traffic every day from people who type in any one of the following search phrases: "How to become a Freemason" "Why become a Freemason" "Why not to become a Freemason" I suppose this blog has been around long enough that it is slowly moving up the search rankings on Google. I have written on this topic in the past but I want to start fresh here. I decided I would provide some simple basic answers without resorting to lame attempts at sarcasm or humor. "How to become a Freemason?" Well, the standard answer is 'ask one'. Of course, that can be hard to do if you don't know one. Seriously, the best way to 'become' a Freemason is to ask someone who is a Freemason. You will generally be amazed at their positive response. If you don't know any Freemasons, well it is about time you di
