Goodbye Stan Winston...
Today Stan Winston passed away, surrounded by family, reports the Windsor Star. This was a huge blow to me, as Stan Winston was an inspiration and an icon to me. His special effects and creativity were amazing, and I always enjoyed the films he worked on. He has a way of making the impossible and the imaginary real, something that I always admired ( Read more... ) -
SLAMMED! Qwest Customers, Beware!
As a long-time resident of Colorado I've had to deal with (or have known people dealing with) Qwest Communications- the main provider of telephone for Colorado and elsewhere. I've had my fair share of problems with them, but never as bad as this. Frighteningly, mine isn't the only case of this, and as such I want to issue a warning to those out ( Read more... ) -

Had planned on doing a nice, big post about everything, but our internet is dead. Again. We just got the new modem today, so hopefully we'll be back to normal shortly.

I was poked, prodded, examined and cleaned. This is ( Read more... ) -

Nothing like open road in front of you at dawn; the sun disk just balancing on the horizon. I bet it's 10 times prettier from the air. -
Airplane on a Treadmill- BUSTED!
People across the great, wide internet have debated, sometimes viciously, over the theoretical Airplane on a Treadmill (or Conveyor Belt, you chose). If you haven't heard it, here it is, in brief ( Read more... ) -
Spreading my wings...
Going flying again tomorrow morning at 0900. It's gonna be fun. I'm checking out the second big school I'm looking into going to. Like the previous flight, I'll be doing all the flying under the careful eye of a licensed instructor. Hopefully, I'll have a little better control this time around, since it's my second time behind the controls. I know ( Read more... )
