Everyone is an expert.

Everyone who has dealt with clients in their specific field always has funny stories and inside jokes about the expectation of the masses. I've been able to experience some of that in both the field of design and IT. While I take everything in stride there is always time to enjoy a little tongue-in-cheek comedy about the pitfalls of consulting.

For all of you designers out there - I'm sure you will be able to relate the most. my advice to you: Make it BIGGER!

"It's just a hole in the ground."

Yes, I've never been to the Grand Canyon. Through no fault of my own, there were never any "Suclla Family Vacations" that ever stopped at the ol' GC. Mostly, those only got as far as Las Vegas - yeah (my dad is a fan of the "City of Lights"). So yeah, 40 years into this gig I've finally experienced the grandeur that is "The Canyon".

I didn't know what to expect, having only seen it in post cards or in magazines, but I must say that they don't compare with it live. It is definitely worth seeing and going to the bottom is an experience as well.

Though we were only able to spend one day there I saw enough to make the trip worth it and I will definitely get back there again to see more of it. Who knows, maybe I'll get brave enough to view it via the Skywalk, just maybe.

That time again

Both of us knew what we were looking for when we met. For the most part is was a list of things we knew we didn't want in a relationship. Through the years Karen and I have managed to keep the promises we made to each other all those years ago. Officially we celebrate our 7th year of marriage today.

As we look back over where we've been we're thankful to the fates for bringing us together. We look forward to many more years together - traveling, laughing and enjoying the time that we share even in the most mundane things we do together. I'm blessed - I will admit that.

So, today I am reminded of the promises we made to each other and I am given new energy to make sure I'm doing my part.

A dork is a dork.

Except when they grow up and make more money than you do.

While I can't directly relate to any of these pictures (computers were too expensive for me at the time) I can honestly say that they make me laugh. There is a part of me that shares a certain fraternity with the general "vibe" going on here. Take a look back and enjoy a grin or two. I present you with the Dork Yearbook.

I learned it all from James.

For you Bond fans out there, here's the most in depth analysis of the sexual politics belonging to our illustrious hero.

True Dat

Guess who's coming to town..?

If any of you are interested in the least bit about a Spandau Ballet reunion concert you can get more information from their website as the Tour Dates continue to be updated.

Personally, I'm looking forward to this one - mostly out of nostalgia but also because I like the music.

Fan-Frakking-Tastic

First there were rumors. Just whispers that Galactica would be reborn and reinterpreted. Then the rumors became truth. Starbuck and Boomer, girls? Cylons looking like humans. No dagget!? I can't say that I was a fan from the get go. What I can say is that even though it took almost an entire season for me to warm up to the idea of a remake, I eventually fell for Battlestar Galactica - Hard.

I watched the finale in concentrated silence trying to glean every last last bit of information to piece the mystery together. The culmination of 4 seasons coming to a close in a different, and almost non-climactic way.

The past 4 seasons have represented, in my opinion, some of the best television drama offered to date. Most certainly, in the SciFi world. As I watched the universe of BSG develop and the characters deepen I was reminded that sometimes you can find some shows that are worth spending time on.

And now, it has come to an end. All the plot twists, revelations and cliff hangers have all been laid aside and I'm left having to part ways with one my favorite shows. I will miss everything the mythology had to offer and I look forward owning this series on Blu-Ray.

Even if you're not a SciFi nut like myself, you could see what the hype is all about and rent the pilot episode. Maybe you'll get drawn into our universe as well. So say we all.
