ITV, the educational station in San Diego that I used to work for, is no more. It's a pity because of how much potential it had, but with the budget cuts, one can see why. I will post more on this at another time.

Let's see, changes...

Moved to New York (well, New Jersey).
Have a full time, moderately successful job.
Running projects from said job.

Writing has unfortunately gone by the wayside, and yet I'm more inspired than ever before.

I carry moleskin notebooks everywhere, but barely write in them.

And I got married.

Iraqi offers Scholarships, bringing in college recruiters.

Got to hand it to them, if there's a way out of a mess, it's in financing education, and investing in the future. In a world where the 5th largest economy is too broke to rise above #50 in public schools of the US - California, I'm talking to you - this is almost encouraging.

Invest in growth areas - engineering, computer science, an the like, and 30 years later you get Apple, Microsoft, JPL, and beyond that Google and Yahoo!. Worked for Kennedy.

I shouldn't talk though, as I'm a child of privilege that went for an expensive art degree.

What can I say?



I wasn't the biggest fan of Civil War in execution, but the concept that's an awesome playing field.

I feel the same way about Dark Reign, and thus far, no Dark Reign titles have disappointed me.

Darkhawk disappointed me. In a big way. But Dark Reign didn't.

Good news -

Simon D* was born last night at 7:53PM. I have a godchild!

It's a little cheesy, but it's clever and quite interesting.

Just putting some feelers out there. I'm teasing right now, but expect an announcement before next month.

Hey all -

I'm working on something quite new and different, I'm calling it "N.O.C." If you're interested in spies, cover identities, and finding secrets, we will start here. Send me an email at my current gaming email - cvtmptr@gmail.com.

We will go from there if there is enough interest.

From XKCD:

New Film starring Viggo Mortensen about a good man recruited into the Nazi party, and his relationship with a Jewish professor.

EDITED FOR BAD CODING

War of the Worlds - via Twitter!"

It seems as though this past Halloween, some Twitter users decided to Tweet the HG Wells and Orson Wells classic. And it's the second time they've done so.

If I had a tweet-ready phone, I'd participate next year.

Obama chooses Leon Panetta. Still don't know the pluses and minuses, but it's an out of the box decision.

Japanese video games lead to the ability to screen dreams.
