ConCarolinas 2009 Report

2009-06-09

From the end of the 2008  ConCarolinas to the start of 2009, that year makes one where I have never worked harder on a con.  Jeff Smith got the big ball rolling by negotiating a sweet deal with a new hotel - the Charlotte Hilton University Place.  But from then on, I was the one that handled things.  I got us the business license, the incorporation papers, the insurance, worked with the hotel on layout and dealt with the road bumps like the location of the suite.&n... more ...

Battlestar Galactica: Series Finale

2009-03-24

OK, so it is finally over. Good or bad, the lasted through 4 seasons, a writers strike and fluctuating ratings to bring everyyone to home.

***** <<< WARNING SPOILERS >>> *****

This episode is really what I think I wanted to see a lot more of during the past several seasons. However, I think it also illustrated why they could not. The battle was brtual. One major battle and the Galactica was nearly cippled. Grant it, ti was dying anyway, but wow, that was ... more ...

Battlestar Galactica: No Exit

2009-02-18

FINALLY, a decent plot that grabs me. And a great actor moment that helps me define the bad guy. Where was this when they wanted to keep my attention? Are they like Lost and making it up as they go along. Seems like it. If they played this up a little more through out the season, I would have been easy to like the show.

I absolutely loved the exchange between John and Ellen and how psychotic John seemed about being stuck in the flech body. His self loathing driving him to i... more ...

mini-mace 2009 Report

2009-02-03

When we started mini-mace, we were inspired by other events in the area that were running one-day game events (game days) and thought it would be a good way to keep the passion up for MACE, increase our exposure and get more games played.  It has been 6 years since we started.  Since then, mini-mace has not disappointed me.  It is amazing to me just how strong this event has stayed on.  And now we are expanding to a new event down in SC, called mini-mace south.  We ... more ...

Battlestar Galactica: What it has turned into?

2009-01-28

I have been very unhappy with the direction of what could have been a great show - the new Battlestar Galactica.  For the past whole season, I have come to the end of each episode complete dissatisfied and asking myself "what the heck did I just watch?"  I have been trying to figure this out and really force myself to get into this plot but I really can't.  And then I have to figure out why.

In this show, there is a lot of focus on drama, obviously.  The so... more ...

Conservative in Exile: Numbing my mind out

2009-01-26

Politically, I am numbing out because it is the only way I can deal with this mess of stuff that is already happening.  I simply can not deal with it.  I listen to talk radio to get what I need in the way of news and opinion and I stand back hoping that someone conservative will make a stand at some point.

From this while stimulus package by Obama that will stimulate nothing but more government jobs that in turn will have a vested interest in growing government to his reversa... more ...

2008 in Review

2009-01-22

As I look back to 2008, I take a deep breath. It was another sweet and sour year for me. I made some changes in my life that will effect me for life. We made some financial commitments that might have not been entirely too smart. And we are now further in debt then I have ever been. 2008 marked the year of the start of the big economic down-turn - one we could have been roped into if it was not for the great instincts of my wife. I thank God that I have a job still because the last time... more ...
