I'm A Lifelong Movie Addict, And One Of My Favorite Projects Is Making Replica Props And Costumes. Nearly Every One Of These - From R2d2 To Hellboy's Revolver - Ends With The Paint Job.

I Have Concluded Through Careful Empirical Analysis And Much Thought That Somebody Is Looking Out For Me, Keeping Track Of What I Think About Things, Forgiving Me When I Do Less Than I Ought. Giving Me Strength To Shoot For More Than I Think I’m Capable Of.

These Are People From Everywhere, From Lawrence Livermore And Jpl And Sandia National Labs, The Fbi, All Over The Place, Real Scientists Who See What We're Doing, And They Consistently Thank Us. "i Agree Your Results Aren't Always Right," They'll Say, "but Your Methods Are Clearly Showing That Science Is A Re-creative Process, And It's An Interesting Process Because It's Messy, And No Other Shows Show That."

Of Course, I Love Tools. I Also Love Arranging Them, To The Point Where I Came Up With A Name For My Organizing Metric: First-order Retrievability.

It's A Treat To See The Sun Rise Over The Desert. What Am I Saying? It's A Treat To Fire Off A Rocket Car Over The Desert!
