Is life really just "the shadows we make with our hands?"

So, we (my brother and I, for our company) ordered a backup server. Another IBM x440 SMP unit. Sadly, I am stuck here waiting for it and dont know when I will be getting upstate now. Happily, I will soon have another x440 to play with.

Ah, such conflicting emotions…

Well, with luck, I will get out of here in time to hang out in Ticonderoga for Fort Ticonderoga’s “Haunting” tomorrow… if not, then at the least Read more

So, right now, I am listening to Dream Theater’s “Lifting Shadows off a Dream” – while I get a little work done and think on just how inspirational some of my friends are.

It’s never too late to start dreaming – and it is never the time to stop dreaming!!!

Well, last night while doing some computer backups and restores, I spent most of the night on the phone with a friend. We had a pretty damn amazing conversation spanning numerous topics and interests. A wonderful side effect of that conversation was gaining the inspiration (for among other things) to try once more to quit smoking. So far so good.

With luck, this time I will hopefully make it long enough that I never start again. Thanks Matthew for the inspiration, and thanks Linda for the Nicorette gum!

Anyway, I’m hoping for many more amazing conversations like the one last night. And to never buy cigarettes again either…

Hey all,

Here’s part of Queensryche’s Silent Lucidity sung (or butchered – you decide) by Charles Root and Robert Mauro as filmed during the June 2009 Star Trek New Voyages: Phase 2 Kitumba shoot. We did better the year before, but sadly, no one caught it on video…

Enjoy!
