Origins
We started on a planet once located in the Asteroid Belt, but that exploded. We came to Mars, but the atmosphere blew away. Finally, we came here but hit our heads and called ourselves Earthlings.

Real Jetpack
Forget the Lockheed Martin jetpack; this one is way better. 
Jetman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zgZw3Fgi7I
Going to wait for this to become commercial instead of the LM jetpack which is more like a propeller-powered hovercraft.
If only I was born a few decades later when these are already mainstream.

Bulverism These Days...
Such a sad interview...

Some Inspiration From the Past
These days I don't know what I'm doing anymore. It seems completely illogical that I'd be on the path I am now given my history. What am I doing just making songs or chasing stocks when I used to make games, movies, entire websites, etc?
Sometimes I forget my frustrations, but every once in a while something like this shows up and just really tests my patience with myself:

Besides the fact I use to play those games when I was younger, being able to form a team and produce something on that scale was something I've always dreamed of doing. It's tough finding finding people of equal or better calibur though and even tougher to find those who share similar ambitions and drive. Like the author, I also learned most of my programming myself (home-brewed), so it's really hard to relate to colleagues who otherwise...[More]

There is sadness behind these eyes, but because there is nothing I can do about it, for the moment, I smile.
