Encom Badge!

Sweet!

My Encom badge has arrived!

This was in my mailbox! Was it wrong that I was listening to Daft Punk when I went to the mailbox?

Cop Out

Okay, I caught a movie tonight. Unlike most of the other posts where I tell you what I'm about to see, I've JUST seen this one.

And it rocked! If you need a good laugh while enjoying some fun action, this movie is for you. I haven't laughed that hard in quite a while.

A job well done for Mr. Willis, Mr. Morgan, and director Kevin Smith!

You want to catch this one!

A Busy Weekend

Well, there was much traveling with even more conversation with my wife's family, some of whom I had not even met before.

It was a gathering to celebrate the life of a wonderful woman who raised five children who went on to build their own wonderful families, of which I am now a part.

As with the first time I met many of them, I was welcomed in as a long time friend, a family I have become a part of recently, though I get welcomed in as if I had been there for decades.

We celebrated the life of Mary Jane through stories and anecdotes, memories and photos. She was a truly wonderful woman for so many people.

I am very happy I got to know her too.

That Feeling.

You know, it's like someone's there, even when there isn't.

Flynn Lives

Things continue to stir over at www.Flynnlives.com. I shall ponder its meaning more when I get home tonight.

While you are there, be sure to follow the link for the new trailer!

Tron Legacy

Greetings Programs!

For anyone who is into computers and movies, Tron will probably strike a chord, maybe even a few fond memories.

If you've been paying attention to what it did for movies in 1982 and beyond, you know many of the big names in Hollywood now, were kids, or in college when it emerged from the Walt Disney studios.

It left an enduring impression on people who realized that there could be a creative union of the real world with that of the digital. For the last 28 years, the line that was digitized, has become more and more indistinguishable from that of reality. That line, is an integral part of just about anything that you see in movies, tv, games, internet, and even print mediums.

Digital is here to stay.

Tron Legacy is a continuation of that story, let loose all so long ago. A movie that was green lit by a studio for a rather large production budget. A continuation of a story that wasn't exactly box office gold when it came out. A continuation of the technical advancements pushed in the first Tron... just like its predecessor, a gamble.

I am a fan. From the first time I saw it, it led me to believe that creativity could exist beyond the paper I was used to. That my canvas could not capture. That my film could not quite develop. My imagination could exist beyond my mind, in another form other than words, to be shared with others.

The marketing behind the sequel, is getting warmed up I think. The clues are being spread around, tidbits of information left unattended, gobbled up by those of us seeking more...

Much the same way, I suspect, we will consume the sequel in December....

Enjoy this teaser.

Sunset

It's in the 40s, snow piles are self erasing, another March day puts its daylight away.

Directions

Me to a store clerk on the phone, "Are you on the North or South side of the street?"

Clerk "That's a good question, which way are you coming from?"

(Sigh)

Shoes are dirty

The new pants are still clean, the shoes are dirty.


Just thought you should know.

Tranquil Place To Write

I'm out writing again, at a place I have found to be very helpful, the Arboretum, in letting my mind focus on the ideas I'm trying to put into words, and finish the story I started in November.
