Brief story of the decline of man: About five years after Deer Hunter came out I grew a beard and would occasionally get not entirely incredible DeNiro comparisons.

My hair loss has since kept pace with Bruce...

Great observation about my rant. Those who know me well would agree with you. I have been known to be a bit angry, hostile, and vocal when made unhappy.
So where have you been and what have you been up to?

Okay, sorry. Been out so long, feeling overlooked (i.e., underemployed), which isn't really a tweetable update.
But here's what's amazing: when I finally got an idea that might lead to independent work, I remembered a big presence on the SG site (from her blog!) and she was incredibly helpful with some real world development suggestions.
I can't say that this has entirely justified all the...

SG Gentrifying?
I tried to find the right discussion group to toss this idea out there, but I couldn't find the right one. I'm not unhappy--look, I'm a member of the Yuppie Scum group, and I'm used to moving in with the rest of the artsy urban pioneers and watching the slow process of upscaling turning all the bodegas into pottery stores and fancy stroller...

sometimes doctor a random graphic is just that
Searching for positive spin, or scrounging for good omens: Today I am 7 squared, the gold rush, the nickname for plutonium, the year that the scholarly and somewhat effective Emperor Claudius married his niece.

My Mayday/Beltane hit hard.
Coming home from breakfast at Cloud Nine, a little diner over the bridge, just forty feet out of the parking lot, I see a car going way too fast heading the way I'm going. I stop, since he's clearly not, but then, just when I freeze in the middle of the intersection, he changes his mindsuch as...

Going down to Florida to interview Search and Rescue squads tomorrow, the gangs that drop down into hurricanes and pluck people off rooftops or trek in for lost hikers or pull you out of earthquake rubble. I may even get to drop in on NORAD HQ, like in War Games or Independence Day.

I try my best to entertain. How are you doing these days?
idgas:
It has just been a lousy few days.
- The wife is making me nuts,
- to write my (professional) bio for my website,
- to rewrite the front page,
- also to write the about us and the why us,
- I still have not received all approvals to reuse my LinkedIn recommendations as testimonials,
- I need to request some more recommendations,
- then I need to turn much of the website in to a presentation packet,
- a display problem with the software for which I have found a solution, and
- I need to write a white paper on a topic I have yet to determine.
I am having so much fun. However, SG has emoticons that describe all of my feelings 
however this society is over that
makes me wonder how I look bald! bald.
Lili Taylor, huh? Never got that one before. Interesting!
