Mr. Guy has passed away.

I came home from work today to discover that my Leopard Gecko "Mr. Guy" had passed away during my absence. 

He was a wonderful sweet guy and I will miss him.

My new goal regarding my Mini armies.

  • Oct. 9th, 2009 at 3:14 AM

I have decided that I must collect and paint armies of Skaven and Tyranids so that when I die I can have them buried with me like the Terracotta soldiers of the First Emperor.

Each army set in full array by my side to defend me in the afterlife (if there is one).  :)

Do you believe everything has a scientific explanation?

While we don't yet have "answers" for all "questions," I think that Science is the best means of discovering the real answers to those questions for which there are answers at all.

Another set of updates for my site.

Website Updated

  • Aug. 5th, 2009 at 5:14 AM

Well, after quite a while of doing lots of work on parts of the site that are not finished even as of yet. I have finally gotten my website updated to a new format and even got up the first part of my Samsara story up.

I'm still working on a substantial portion of the background material and other stuff, but I finally felt I had enough done to get the new version of things up.

Well, it's been more then a week and I'm still working on my personal website.  I've been mulling over a few things and reorganizing stuff, hopefully once it is up it will be at least partially cogent enough to form a basis for further work on the stuff I have going on writing, photography and other projects wise.  It will be another few weeks before I have things set up in a manner I think is at least presentable as a work in progress.  It is kind of a mess at the moment and not all of my topics and ideas are fully fleshed out on the web pages yet.  I still have a bunch of cleaning up of my writting to do to make any of it make some amount of sense.  ;) 

I'm not really certain that anyone cares at all or even really pays that much attention to my sporatic activities, but I did feel the need to post something about this.

I was asked a little while ago to post more pictures of myself and I thought: “sure, cool, I’ll see if I have any that I would not mind posting up.” Now, as a big fat guy, I do have some general issues with my own personal appearance, but overall I don’t obsess about that sort of thing, nor do I have any “oh woe is me I’m so ugly” attitude. I don’t often think about taking pictures of myself, though. So I looked through my photo file and found all of 2. :D Both of which I took as part of participating in “take your picture right now” posts here and on www.rpg.net. I do know there are a few out there taken by other folks - such as The Metallian - when I’ve been to parties with them, but I’ve not really made it a priority to gather them.

 

I’ll go ahead and post the one other picture of myself I do have and see about taking more in the future. :)



Oh and by the way, I've been actually working on by website and should have it up in some kind of presentable fashion in a week or so.

Saw The Tale of Despereaux . . .

  • Dec. 22nd, 2008 at 7:05 PM


. . . last Night with metallian and mrsmetallian after a wonderful dinner of salmon prepared by mrsmetallian (see the recipe on her journal).  I thought it the film was quite good. The animation was really amazingly well done, I cannot say enough good things about the art design and the character modeling. There were some elements of the plot that were a little cliche, and some bits that were awesome tidbits, but that unfortunately were never followed up on (particularly the bit with the blind mouse). Overall, though, I thought it quite enjoyable.

Inspired by recent discussions I've had on matters scientific I just wanted to point people to The Science Network.

This is a wonderful organization that promotes science and reason and has some really awesome videos and interviews with leading scientists.

They have an Annual conference called Beyond Belief and I've just watched the vids from the most recent one here. The discussions were very illuminating indeed.

When you see this, post in your own journal with your favorite quote from The Princess Bride. Preferably not "As you wish" or the Inigo Montoya speech.

"Life is pain Princess, anyone who says differently is selling something."

Your result for The Mythological God Test...

Anubis

Indeed, you are 96% erudite, 17% sensual, 38% martial, and 75% saturnine.

Anubis was the Egyptian God of funerary rituals and the protector of the dead as well as the judge of souls and ruler of the underworld. Since it was his duty to weigh souls (along with the Goddess Maat) as a means of discovering the content of honesty, Anubis was also the God of truth.


He is usually seen as a man with the head of a jackal holding the divine sceptre carried by kings and Gods, but he can also be found on the walls of tombs as a black jackal or dog accompanying Isis. By no means an evil God, his domain of graves and tombs was nevertheless a frightening one, but then, one that offered the chance of an afterlife.


But why did the Egyptian God of the Dead have the head of a jackal? Well, jackals have the uncomfortable habit of lurking about tombs and graves, which was one of the reasons why the Egyptians sought to make their tombs more elaborate; to keep the bodies safe from the rather smart black canines. It is only natural therefore that a God of mummification would be connected with them. By worshipping Anubis, they hoped to invoke him to protect their deceased and assure their safe journey through the underworld, his domain.

Palin gets hacked

  • Sep. 18th, 2008 at 1:57 AM

First things first: Hacking people's email is bad and wrong and it's not something I agree with in any way.

That said, I don't particularly mind it when bad things happen to bad people. It does not happen often enough in actual life.

I know it's not very popular to hope for terrible things to happen to people who seem to deserve it, but if all the other terrible things that I wish would happen to Palin (the column of fire reaching down from the heavens and incinerating her, for one) are not going to happen - as seems likely - then I'll settle for the merely petty and annoying terrible things such as this happening to her.
