Links N’ Junk III
With maps, cell phone access, satellite imagery and (now) helping us shop Google is definitely integrating itself into our daily lives. I can’t wait until Skynet Google launches so I can mark the date down in my google calendar and share it with gmail. Speaking of integration, do you still have a .MAC account? I…

The Best At What I Do, Bub
I readily admit that posting this makes this unabashedly a blog; my shame. Ah well, here goes: You scored as Wolverine. Wolverine is a loner, and a skilled fighter. He’s got the hots for Jean Grey but a better fit for him would be Storm. He doesn’t like to follow orders which pisses Cyclops off.…

My Perfect Bible
My hope: Bible Publisher reads this and says “Great Idea! Let’s print and publish it.” I was inspired to do this when submitting a form a while back to HCSB. They asked “what would your perfect Bible be” so here it is. Be warned that this Bible will likely break the physical boundaries of time…

Pictures of Dogwood Battlefield
The Tranquil Dogwood Tree: Note the unmowed square plot of lawn immediately beneath the tree. Sy Triumphant: Armed with bat and ready to do battle. Momma Bird exceedingly nervous. Probably a picture during my running. Of course, I couldn’t capture any pictures of the baby bird lest I would suffer a huge pecking attack. From…

The Battle of Dogwood Tree or Robin-Home Defense
June 1863: General Robert E. Lee, upon receiving news that Federal forces were in Frederick (Maryland), ordered the Confederate Army to come down from Blue Ridge Mountains to meet the Feds in battle. On June 30th, Lee’s recon forces discover that Gettysburg (Pennsylvania) is already occupied by Brigadier General John Buford’s cavalry, dismounted, frightened, resolved…

McFAT Monday
What were some of your scariest vehicular experiences, either behind the wheel or as a passenger? The frost after the Blizzard of ’96 left the roads in a treacherous condition. I was driving in my old 71 Benz (dubbed Ugly) up towards Cypress Avenue in Brooklyn. Anyone who knows the area would tell you that…

Links n’ Junk
In the vain effort of creating structure I’m starting this no-brainer-yet-depressingly-standard-blog-category called (obviously) Links n’ Junk. The links may be unnecessarily uninteresting and in some cases darned puzzling. If I document the links it’s probably for my own confused purposes so don’t be concerned: its me, not you single reader. A Swedish shadow looms over…

Dungeons and Dragons: The Warrior Requiem
I was one of the geeks that got good grades so that I could play Dungeons and Dragons. I loved the game and really only started to dislike it when I noticed how addicted other people got with it. At that point, I quit—but I still watched the cartoon.

Ten Things That I Would Like To Do
Hang out in the city with my wife and kids ala scoboco. Take my wife and kids and backpack through Europe. Play phenom music. Like Clapton guitar and Connick piano. Sorry, MCF, no tuba. Become an art master comparable to the Greats (without ripping their work): Caravaggio, Chermayeff, Rackham, and Ross. Publish my trilogy. I…
