Our March newsletter



There's not a whole lot blog-worthy going on in my life these days. I'm just doing my job and keeping up with things that need to be kept up with. We continue to have amazing weather for March. This has got to be the warmest March I can remember in my entire life. It does make me nervous about how hot it might be later this year though!

I have been doing a number of activities with DeMolay and today we just finished up our regular meeting. I did find a bit of time to send out our latest newsletter, which you can view here.

It includes some nice pictures from our recent obligatory day celebration. If you go to the last page and read the treasurers report you will see that our chapter is in dire need of an infusion of funds. We are going to be doing two fundraisers on May 12th. In the morning we are going to hold a pancake and sausage breakfast fundraiser and in the evening we are putting on a talent competition.

The talent competition has me especially worried as I have never tried to put on an event like this before. It has a lot of moving parts to keep track of. Today I need to finish up the official invitations and get them sent out.

As always, any internet brethren who feel inspired with a sense of charity can make easily make a modest donation simply by visiting our page at www.amillionpixels.us

Just click somewhere on the Square and Compass and you can donate to a worthy cause and promote your website at the same time.

Bah today I am just listening for the tornado siren and hoping I don't have to go in my basement! I think it is supposed to finally drop down into the 40's this week. There goes the good weather we are having:(

Although I must say I'm not a big fan of these thunder storms!

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
