Throughout the course of my life I have met some extremely colorful characters.  I have a large circle of people who I am happy to call friends.  I have a lot of clients that I work for that I don’t really consider friends.  I want to tell you about a couple that fall into the former group. These folks originally joined my group of acquaintances by becoming customers of mine. I was approached to update their existing business...

   Nothing major tonight its been a while since I blogged.  I had a pretty bad run in with death the last few weeks.  Had a co-worker’s husband pass away and one of my best friends lost their father.  Attending funerals are never easy but it was tolerable because in times of hardship we try to focus on the good times we have had with out loved ones.     This made me wonder what it would have been like at the funeral of a...

   I often work on peoples computers. I do it for fun. I do it to make connections with people.  I do it because there is a need.  I lost count long ago of how many friends I have made with this philosophy.  Most of the time I get paid in the end by having improved my friendships or making connections that lead to other paying jobs.  I don’t look at it as work.

    I really relish being a child of the 80′s. I love the music, the clothes, the memes and all the various sundry things in between.  In 1982 a well known author named Joan D. Vinge, wife of Verner Vinge published a book called Psion. It tells the tale of a one time homeless, orphaned, half-human, half-alien teenager named Cat. Cat has telepathic abilities that lead him into the dark world of corporate security and out of the...

    Watching movies is a hobby of mine. I mean, I don’t just watch them I learn all there is to know about them.  I like to know where the original story came from.  Who’s idea it was.  I like to research why the actors chose to be involved, what the director was thinking and so on and so on.  I live a breath movies.  I started this list as a little research project to see how many of my favorite Sci-fi movies were made...
