Hello cyberspace. How ya been in my absence? I’m waving to everyone who has wandered back this way, even if you can’t see it through the computer screen. My new bride and I (myself now being a man of weddedness) have returned from our jaunt into the mountains. I know.…

Made it out to Colorado with a minimum of fuss. A minimum being a two hour delay on the plane, but nothing more. Fortunately, my arrival didn’t upset any of the schedule. So, Sunday at 11am is when it all goes down. We’ve got that list of last-minute to-do’s (like…

I’m leaving from work early today to catch a flight back to Colorado. The wedding weekend will be officially begun! We’ve got all the setup to finagle still. Gathering the foodstuff, setting up the trim on the gazebo, picking up the sound system. Jen already flew out yesterday to start…

It’s not often that a book leaves me speechless. Sometimes I get a little “wow” reaction at the end, or a, “that was clever/neat/fun.” But when I finished reading The Logogryph, my reaction was to sit back (albeit in a crowded train) and just try to let my brain absorb…

Ever since playing certain computer games in high school, I have been waiting to hear about something like this. The military is trying to employ lightning guns. Zip-zowie! http://blog.wired.com/defense/2007/04/httphomebusnes.html also known as Directed Energy Weapons. I have found myself increasingly fascinated by weapons and defense technology lately.
