I just realized how long it has been since I posted anything, and I am a bit shocked. Life has been very good, but very, very busy. My awesome boss has been on vacation for almost two weeks and in her absence she asked me to try to fill her role as much as possible, […]
After checking to be sure our trusty old Sony KV-40XBR800 could handle the output of the new Apple TV (it does, though with conversion from 720p or 480p to 1080i), I went ahead and ordered a new Apple TV so I can play Rocketboom and Terra: The Nature of Our World HD videos on our […]
It’s been too long since I wrote anything meaningful hear, sorry. I’ll make a determination to write more frequently this year. To celebrate the winter season I decided to work on some of Erci‘s honey-do-list for me a bit, so I began wiring up and connecting all the unconnected speakers in our house. It’s what […]

My wife and I are sporadically celebrating 14 years of adventure together (yes, sweetheart, I […]
Stephen O’Regan’s “They’re Made out of Meat” film of Terry Bisson’s short story (same name) won Grand Prize at the Science Fiction Museum’s SF Short Film Festival in Seattle this year. It can be viewed for free on Atom Films or YouTube. Perspective is everything.
I had a politics-free weekend with Erci to honor our 13th Wedding Anniversary. We had lunch at Maestro with the Smithsonian Association where chef Fabio Trabocchi prepared amazing meal of sausage terrine and pork chops on risotto. Yum! Then we drove out to see beautiful leaves and taste wine at Stillhouse Vineyards and Three Foxes […]
