Look What I Found
Ernest Gary Gygax ( July 27, 1938 – March 4, 2008) is best known as the author of the well known fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), co-created with Dave Arneson and co-published with Don Kaye in 1974 under the company Tactical Studies Rules. Gygax is generally acknowledged as the father of the role-playing game.
This is personal note to all the readers of my blog. I have thought long and hard on the decision to run for PodPresident.com, and with the support of my Family they have made this decision easier.
I am in fact running for PodPresident.com for 2008 as a proud Cadidate for the Analog Party.
The Analog Party, founded in 1927, has had a log tradition of standing up for content creators rights and today that is even more relevant. As podcasters you should be concerned about your rights to produce and distribute your material, and your rights to be BIG MEDIA FREE!
Join me as I start this journey and begin my campain as PodPresident for 2008…together we can make a difference.

From the 21st floor….
Whao. Imagine my surprise when I logged in today (on Valentine’s) and found my Google Docs all Pinkifed.
Ok, It was a nice surprise.
Somehow, this look works for him.
…and so with this marks the close of a pretty good day. Today was my latest birthday which brings the total up to 39. 39 fun and interesting years.
As I have gotten older it is hard not to think about missed opportunities, and things I should have done. I have no real regrets, but I know I need to focus on the things I have accomplished.
I have a family with a wonderful wife, and son. I have a nice home for us to live. I have made lots of interesting friends through Technorama and podcasting, and that is what it is all about. I always believed that Family and friends were the most important thing a guy could have.
So, as I close in on the big 40 coming up on the horizon next year, I see nothing but air and opportunity between me and it, and I plan on making the best of it.
Cheers.
A friend reminded me that Nasa has a probe that will be visiting Mercury on Jan 14th. This is the first visit to the planet in 33 years. Below is a link to a gallery at new.com showing some pictures as it nears.

This is what Mercury looked like, as seen from Messenger, on January 11, 2008.
It was a nice, beautiful day here in Charlotte, NC. Couldn’t help but admire out the sun coming off of these buildings.
