Well, this weekend wasn't quite as exiting as last. I'm ready for summer, this spring weather has got to stop. My only big news item this week is the movie series at the Fox Theatre all week!

The Faublous Fox in St. Louis is having a *free* movie series all week. The most exciting event is Friday evening with "Aliens" showing at 9pm followed by "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" at midnight. This is going to be a very cool 'cultural event' for St. Louis, showing such a classic cult film in the confines of the Fabulous Fox. For those of you who don't know, the Fox Theatre is one of the most stunningly beautiful theatres in the entire United States.

Normally you would have to spend $50 a ticket to see a show at the Fox, so this is a great opportunity to have a lot of fun in this great venue. There are fantastic shows all week long too.

**Update! I got my tickets today at Pulaski Bank, then a friend of mine went there about an hour later and the tickets were all gone! Fox Theatre has recalled all of the tickets at the various outlets, I guess because they want to have complete control over them. The only way to get tickets now is to go to the Fox Theatre box office!

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

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
