If you don't watch Avatar: The Last Airbender then you are missing out and I might just have to disown you as friends. Buy (that's right. not rent or borrow) Seasons 1 and 2. Maybe you can YouTube them. You won't be sorry. I'm so amped since Season 3 started 2 weeks ago. Best animated series on TV today if not best series on TV today. I don't watch TV anymore accept NFL, WWE, and Avatar.
What made me think to post this? Well if you haven't seen them already check out Bending Battle and School Time. They are LOL if you've watched the series.

9:10 pm - How do you get a patent?
|
So I felt lazy at work and didn't want to walk up the 2 flights of stairs to my floor. I hit the elevator button and waited a few seconds for the people on a floor above me to get into the elevator and coome down. As the doors opened 2 people got out and I walked in. As the doors closed I screamed "Oh my God! What died in here?!? Go see a Doctor! The Human Anus should not make that smell!!" At least I screamed that in my head.
So I had inspiration strike as I rode up that elevator trying not to breathe. An invention that will sweep the nation. A sensor in the elevator that detects, um, certain vapors and sends a signal to a light outside the elevator. Anyone outside the 'vator would know to give it a couple trips (or use the stairs).

12:40 pm - Happy Non-Birthday to me. To me!
|
So after I threw R a surprise 30th B-day party she vowed to get me back. Well, 5 months in advance she did. I walked into the house after seeing the Simpsons movie and found my home to be invaded by lots of our friends and family. Of course it wasn't really a surprise to me as I was totally expecting this! R has cleaned the house all week under the pretense that "Andy was coming to town". And then there was the "call after you get out of the movie" because R didn't go see it with me. She said she didn't want to see it. Yeah, right. Who DOESN'T want to see the Simpsons movie. ... Yep, completely knew. ... Wasn't surprised at all... didn't get me!... you're not buying this are you.
Ok, I was surpised.
It was good to see lots of people. And to all those of you who couldn't make it, let me say two words: Werewolf Good Time! We played the Werewolf Card game most of the night after beating each other with foamy swords most of the afternoon, playing Guitar Hero 80's ed. and grilling.
The foamy swords was lots of fun thanks to Ben Bear and him owning pretty much every weapon made. Mel and Matt take it way to seriously by pounding the CRAP out of you. And the Rothman kids are scary good! They use tatics, surrounding the enemy and taking out their legs before thomping them in the gut. What is Ben teaching them! They're like 2 1/2 foot tall ninjas! I'll try to post some pics later.
It was a blast (and not just because of the 99 bottles of beer we drank). Yes 99. I counted the empty containers. So thanks to all that showed and to all that didn't... you missed Werewolf Mangling Goodness and that's your loss.

9:49 pm - Again?
|
Wow! Twice in 2 months! Must be a record. Probably because I'm actually thinking about blogs again, how much I miss being around friends and how I wish I had more time. I've dropped out of WoW and I can't seem to find energy to finish off Zelda on the Wii. Those were the things eating away at my free time. The new bathroom at the sarah_sdr home has made my mind spin with home projects of my own. I need work to calm down first though.
I mapped out a huge complex project timeline and the Big G said "we don't like that. I want this (earlier) date" and it was a huge difference. Today I wrote a simple bulleted list on the risks and impact of the Gov. direction. It was in Arial 9 font. It took 6 pages! I am peeved! I see why Taxpayers spend $400 on a hammer b/c I'm going to bleed $$ to hire staff for the Gov date and there's NO REASON for it other to stroke the ego of a Gov official. On the up side, I now hold the record for longest Risk Assessment and Impact Analysis done by any Project Manager for my company.
Now that that's off my chest. No spoilers here. I finished HP7 at 3am Saturday night/Sunday morning. Not bad for starting at 10am and taking breaks for family pics and family dinner. R finished it as well now. I won't say anything more than this; for me to read for basically 17 hours straight must say something about how good the book/series is. I mean, I don't even read the instructions on TV Dinners b/c it's too much work!
I'm very tired recenlty. Monday I fell asleep in front of the TV at 8:30pm. I'm going to bed now.

9:00 pm - Predictions
|
It's been awhile and I have no good reasons why. Time just flies. But there is something that has brought be out of my WDM cave and raise my head up and yell to the birds above. And that is my predictions for Harry Potter 7! So this is what I think FOR SURE.
1) Dumbledore is not dead
2) Snape is a good guy
3) Harry will live
These are the things I'm not so sure about but believe to be possible.
1) Dumbledore is heir to Gryphondor thus the ability to resurrect. Much like the Parseltongue and Slytherin.
2) Ron and Hermione will live as well.
3) Either Mr. or Mrs. Weasley will die.
4) Snape will die.
5) Harry's Aunt Petunia will turn out to be a good person.
I think these will happen because this series is a story of a hero and in all good hero stories the hero finds a way to survive.

Wow. Just realized how long it has been since I posted. I'm going to blame this on World of Warcraft. Yes! I got sucked into the most wonderful of wonderful games. Damn. Between work and WoW I don't spend nearly enough time with R and K. Fuu is growing up fast so I should pay more attention. We are attempting potty-training!
So quickly recap the past several months. Work: Everyone in my dept. left (except me). Hired several new people. Proved my worth and got an awesome annual review. They now give me the "troubled" projects because I get 'em fixed! Went to GenCon. Stayed out in zero degree weather and got a Wii. Got Zelda. Got WoW. :) Haven't played Zelda yet. :( Damn WoW. Katie had second B-Day. Bears lost Super Bowl. Sister-In-Law is getting married in Sept. Weddings all over this summer! Looking forward to it.
So, what brought me back was the posting of my very good friend. ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) japandysama
He's visiting his girlfriend in Japan. She's on exchange for teaching over there. Never met her, but you can tell A really likes her. Pershaps even the "L" word. Not my place to say there. I'll have to meet this girl when she returns. Seems she likes DDR and I MUST CHALLENGE HER TO TEST HER SKILLS!! You can see his journal entries from his Japan trip here. http://japandysama.livejournal.com/ ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) august_baby27

9:44 pm - End of an era
|
I cried yesterday. At 9:30 PM CST, Cartoon Network aired the final episode of Justice League Unlimted. This wonderful series was a masterpiece of animation in today's world of crap. Bobobo, One Piece, Ben 10 - this is what Cartoon Network believes is good programs.
What makes this especially sad is that I grew up with the Universe that was played out in JLU. It started in 1992 with Batman the Animated Series. Groundbreaking and awesome. I was 15. I didn't read comics and my exposure to Batman was the 60's series, Scooby-Doo, and Batman (the movie). The cartoon struck me and I watched all I could because it wasn't made for 8 year olds. It was made for an older audience. It was a darker animation. Something I had never seen or thought could happen before. What made it really interesting was that the universe progressed, though sometimes not always for the best. They went to the show "Batman & Robin". The show became more kid friendly. They tried to keep it a bit older by making Robin into Nightwing and adding a "love triangle" with Batman - Batgirl - Nightwing. I sort of stopped watching the series when I went off to school. After a couple years I started watching TV again and found Batman to be gone, but the Universe lived! Superman and Batman Beyond were in mid-run. BTW: I truely love BB as is one of the greatest shows ever and I'm not just talking cartoons.
The world also lived in the extended shows of The Zeta Project (ok) and Static Shock (great after season 1). It seemed that all these shows ended at the same time. All hope was not lost though because the world went onto Justice League and the 2 seasons later - JLU. Fourteen years from Batman to JLU. 14 years people!!! That's half my life.
God bless all those that worked on and created these shows. I am sad now because the universe is over. Given the axe like Teen Titans because CN can get Jap. crap and dub it over for cheap. Ok, so Batman to JLU probably outsourced the animation to China. Big deal! They are still American animation. (Well I have a huge rant on the cancellation of Titans and JLU, but I'll save that for another time.) Right now I want everyone to bow their heads and say a pray of thanks for these years of quality animation/writing and ask that somehow, someway shows of the quality of Batman and JLU will return someday.

9:10 pm - Two Notes of Tech Goodness
|
Two pieces of good tech news today. First, the PS3 release was announced for November. The downside is the price point of $500 for the smaller drive and $600 for the larger. Be assured that there will be 'packages' that cost even more. I know I won't get one at first, but someday I will. Probably when KHIII comes out. The good things about PS3 is the internet play, the microbilling, and the blu-ray.
The second note, and probably more important, is that Apple Computer, Inc. won the first legal battle with the Beatles. Yeah! So I'm not a fan of the old band and I'm predisposed to agree with Apple Computer. I think they have every right to use their company logo to build SOFTWARE and market SOFTWARE, i.e. iTunes. They are not making music, but selling it. And let's me honest, why are there Trademarks. To keep the hard earned association that the public has with a word or symbol in tact so small Joe loser can't piggy-back on the success of others. The Beatles' people are upset since they had the Apple name first, but when someone says "Apple" in today's world you think ... Computers, not music from the 60s. Or you might think celebrity baby. Hmmm... thinking about it now, I'm surprised Gwen isn't getting sued.

|
Wow! It's been awhile since I've ranted here. Sure I've had several rants with the voices in my head, but sometimes it's good to put things down. Anyways, I kinda forgot with everything going on that the Journal was even here until I mentioned to my friend Chris that I had read his Journal. He said I should get one and I said "I already do!"
Anyway, the move went well. The house sale was ok. It was great except the people buying the house are two big @$$*$%&*! They complained about everything and almost wanted to 'not close' on the closing day because the carpets weren't cleaned. They never asked for them to be cleaned. Also, they were upset that I left things like spare Shingles, garden chicken wire, and bricks... you know stuff that a homeowner might want to use during the time they own the house or garden. Anyway, my Agent earned her pay and took care of everything. It's over now and the check is cashed.
The new town is going great. I have a couple stories already which I share soon. I really just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still here.

8:28 pm - Boycott... well everyone!
|
So I heard that Yahoo helped China identify a 'dissident' that posted to a Yahoo pro-democracy newsgroup. I think it went something like this.
China: "Hey Yahoo. We were out looking at the pro-democracy newsgroups on your site and we think this one post is from someone in our country. Tell us who they are."
Yahoo: "Umm... well... that's not really something we can do. See, we have an obligation to the users of our site to keep their information safe from governments and those that really don't have any business knowing personal information. We really care about free-speech and believe everyone should be able to speak their minds without fear of retribution in these forums."
China: "See that coaster over on my desk? That's Google's Integrity. You're going to make yours my napkin if you want to keep your site live in China and make the $$$$ that Google does."
Yahoo: "His name is Yang and he lives at..."
So now I think it's a Damned if you do situation. Google, Yahoo, Lycos, etc. They all sold out. If I boycott everyone then how do I find anything on the Net? I guess I could write my own Crawler. I could call it Gooahoo! I can see it now. In 8 months I'll be selling out my own ideals for a piece of the pie in China. I guess in the meantime I'll go back to Google. At least they haven't gotten an innocent man thrown in jail and probably totured (yet).

If you don't recognize the lyrics in the subject, you haven't listened to a Top 40 radio station in the past 4 months.
Well I'm in Des Moines and my sweet of sweets is in Waterloo. We're working hard on finding a house and moving. As an update (because it's been to crazy to email everyone) we have the Waterloo house sold, have a house in West Des Moines bought and now are trying to finalize dates, loans, and moving. Don't worry everyone! We're going to get movers (thank you moving assistance!)
It'll be nice when Rosy and Fu are down here. (Fu is short for Munchin-Fu and is my nickname for Katie). Fu is crawling everyone and eating (again). She's now on all people food. Yea! She's on whole milk and love peanut butter. I've missed most of the progess she's made the past month since I was working from before she woke to after she went down for all of December and Jan and now I'm 2 hours away. I finally understand why Grams and Gramps keep saying she's progressing so fast. It didn't seem like it when you see her everyday, but when it's once a week... Wow!
And I just can't believe her smile. 4 teeth top, 2 bottom and she grins so big. She doesn't laugh/giggle as much as she did but she sure smile alot.
So here's to my family and especially to Rosy. She's living like a single Mom and doing it so well. NOT THAT I WANT IT TO BE PERMENENT!! She's perfect in every way and perfect for me. Of course it's V-day and so I've been thinking about Rosy all day and how I just want to get her alone for 5 hours (that's right, hours). Maybe this weekend we can get the neighbors to watch Fu so that we'll have the house to ourselves. Gi-gi-dy!

7:37 pm - Boycott Google
|
Google launched a site in China. Not because they had to. Google.com was accessible from China, but there were some problems. News article: http://www.technewsworld.com/story/38573.html
It appears that Google agreed to China's demands and will be filtering their search results on topics ranging from sex to politics and anything pertaining to free speech and democracy. I heard a lot about how the Google owners contributed huge dollars to the Dems in '04 and continue to do so today. I have no problem with Google having a liberal leaning. Others belive it goes a bit farther of course. http://www.aim.org/publications/briefings/2003/nov19.html Nevertheless, Google's backing of the Dems sets them into the 'stereotype' that they should be all about free-speech, human rights, love, peace, and all that hippy stuff. Right? (I'm being sarcastic now folks)
Anyways, Google is supposed to be about providing access to all the information available on the internet and the fact that they willingly fliter their own results worries me. What if it was the US gov. that started to pressure Google? Would they cave in? What if they just wanted to screw with someone? They are a private company afterall and do whatever the heck they want.
So I did a little research and found this. http://www.google-watch.org/bigbro.html I understand you must take everything on the internet with a grain of salt.
This makes me even more worried now though. If Google is becoming such a powerhouse, how (or why) did they give into China's demands. Google's response: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2006/01/google-in-china.html
OK. So this does makes sense to me. The businessman in me says that I'd do the same thing. Still the human being in me says something smells here. They make internet filters for a reason. Heard of NetNanny? Why did Google get into the biz of filtering when there's plenty of other menas and other companies that can do so. China could filter at a higher level since all traffic coming into the country could easily be monitored by the government. In fact, China had been frequently pulling the plug on Google.com (blocking it) because of its results. So I dug a little deeper. Could this be why? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9129233
Ah, now it's clear. Money. Despite what the Google Execs say about loving free speech and values and missions statements to provide information, it all really comes down to money and they want to remain the big dog. Going back to the google-watch article, I new Google was big, but not so dominate. In the interests of keeping the monopoly at bay I'm calling for a boycott of Google. Sure Yahoo did the same thing, but they're the little guy here. Google, as the biggest and baddest, should lead the charge for freedom of information in places like China. Plus I don't want them to have that much power (unless I'm the CEO of Google of course) I think this op-ed says just about everything that needs to be said http://www.computerworld.com/governmenttopics/government/story/0,10801,108050,00.html

11:12 pm - Missing home
|
I went home over the weekend, but almost every moment was spent gaming. Not a bad thing in of itself, but sort of difficult since I hadn't seen wife and child for a week. It started on Friday night when I got home and Katie had a wheez and wasn't wanting to eat. Went to Urgent Care and got some meds, but it tasted really bad and small fry really hated it.
So we gamed and I think it went well. The BIG EPIC conclusion of the Angels. I think the ending was good except the ending battle. It was really late Sunday and I just threw the towel in b/c I needed to get back to Des Moines. I feel like I cheated my players a bit so perhaps I'll 'rerun' the last battle at Gen Con. Nevertheless, 4 of my players emailed me to say that they really thought the end idea was really cool and really deep and thought provoking and to say thanks for the past 3 years. Coolness. Glad to have some appreciation. It's bittersweet as so many things recently have been. Goodbyes to the past and hellos to the future.
Throughout it all Katie didn't really want to eat. She wasn't fussy just really sleepy. Rosy took her to Dr. on Monday and she has an ear infection. Hopefully the new meds help. I'm worried for Rosy since she has to deal with this alone and for Katie since Daddy can't be there to kiss and make better. Oh, and the dog has been acting out with peeing on the floor and eating diapers (YUCK!).
We sold the house Sat. for almost all asking price and now I just need to re-double efforts to find a home in Des Monines area. Actually, I'm re-doubling efforts b/c I want the family here with me. I miss going home.

9:14 pm - Bittersweet
|
So today was my last day at RAF. It was a bittersweet day. I realized that of all the projects I was working on, I got zero finished before I left. Sure two just need final sign offs to make them complete by RAF standards, but for my standards there was all the project documentation and creation of the project summaries I didn't get a chance to do and I know no one else will do them. What I really feel bad about is that I handed off a couple things to a co-worker that's also a good friend. He's the last one left from the glory days of the Development team and the only one that even know the programming language(VB.Net & ASP.Net) and would even have a clue as to the object models. I said I would get the items finished before I left, but circumstances didn't allow it in one situation (which I don't feel that bad about) and in the other I majorly screwed up estimating how complex the changes would be. I tried to bang out the solution, but left one part unfinished. It really sucks when you believe your invincible and then realize that you are flawed. Guess God wants me to be more humble, but it so hard!!
In the end, I was sad to leave behind 2 guys that have become great friends over the years and the co-workers who I loved. I think those that remain will do very good work. In particular, the other Project Manager I think will be a great Project Manager someday as soon as she's able to really have a project of her own. Currently, the BIG project which she was brought in to manage is being managed by upper Management more than by her. When they give her a shot, she'll really fly though I have no doubt.
The sweetness comes from just being able to break away. The direction the company has taken recently I just don't know where I fit in. It feels really good to know that the CTO, Executive of Projects, my boss and my boss's counterpart in St. Louis all said that if I wanted/needed a job in the future that I'd be welcome back. I got asked to reconsider once, but my decision is made and no turning back now. Still, I could see myself working for RAF again.
Someone asked me that when I resigned and in these last days if I took pleasure in throwing this new and higher wage job at them. I said "no". Yes, there is a level of satisfaction in having proof that I was overworked and underpaid. There are those thoughts and hopes that maybe my former employer will realize that technology people, good technology people, are hard to find and they must do more to keep them around than a "atta-boy" at the end of a project where they put in the extra mile (or thousand hours). But really I don't expect it to change. Of course there are certain things I cannot say to management, but to those I can be honest with I said that I will miss the people and what the company was. I will not miss what it has become. Perhaps it will change in the future, but the problems that exist are not the problems the execs see. The problems are in communication and respect to those in the trenches. The problem is motivation and reward. If there is a bonus at the end of this BIG project, it will be a BIG surprise because its never been spoken about. If 100 hours in a week is needed, you're just expected to do it and not complain. That I call dis-respect. The consultant companies know the bonus they're shooting for (nice $$$ by the way), but we (or they now) have nothing but hope to draw on and even the well of faith can run dry after you drink from it the number of times we have in the past.
Don't get me wrong, management did many great things for me. My boss directed me towards project management and I wouldn't be here today without her help. She mentored me, allowed me to make mistakes and recover, and to grow. But this past year was very different in that there became a wall between management and myself. My words never seemed to go anywhere or be heard (except for one notable exception, but even that I think was more just to humor me). At the end, I learned that either A) my words were heard and action was being taken or B) I had the exact same thoughts as the CTO on what to do. But this might be even worse because I never Heard anything in return until it was to late. This comes back to communication and respect. Respect for my position, my education, and my ideas. Respect for my ability to be more than just a workhorse and to accepted as a someone with a future, a career, and a voice.
So let's wrap this up: I'm not bitter, I love my (former) co-workers, I love my old workplace, I had a great time, I have great memories, I'm thankful for everything, and I'd go back in a heartbeat but not to the same job. If they offered me a position with a Voice I'd come back, but unfortunately in the new International company you have to have a VP in your title to be heard and I pretty sure they don't look at me that way. To them I'm a great worker, not a great future.

9:51 pm - Where's the justice.
|
So there was nothing on TV tonight (yes, I actually wasn't working for once) because of the Golden Globe awards. Good Lord! I hate them almost as much as I hate the SAG Awards and Oscars. So I was flipping through channels and stopped at Animal Planet. I usually don't make it to those channels as I usually skip up to Cartoon Network. Animal Plant was doing the Animal Rescue shows and they had a dog that was burned and another with an eye popped out of the socket. Poor little things. I couldn't watch and had to switch it. I came back throughout the night. Currently there's a severaly neglected and beaten horse. My God! How can anyone treat animals this way. Unfed, uncared for. I believe in cruel and unusal punishment and I believe it should be used on the people that do things like this.
There's a difference in my mind between animals and humans. Actually animals fall into the same category as children and babies because both are can't usually communicate when in pain and tell you where it hurts or what is wrong. I cannot stand to see animals in pain or in these conditions they show on TV. How can people starve these animals? What did these animals possibly do to deserve this treatment? How can anyone do this to a living creature and not feel that they are a monster!?!
One guy just said that "most of the cruelty isn't intentional. It's just a matter of education." Ok, I know I'm a smart person, but I'm not smarter then the general population and I can figure out how to take basic care of an animal. I can figure out how to give water and food and I can figure out when an animal is covered in scabs, blood, feces, and worms that something is WRONG and the animal needs a VET! When you care of an animal, just like when you care for a person, you have a responsibility to give the best care you possibly can even if that means you have to give the animal up. So I don't buy what this guy said.
I came upstairs after watching this stuff and had to hug my own puppy. We got her from the Humane Society and we're not sure how old she is, but we've had her for 2+ years. She's probably around 6 or 7 years old now. So I took her to the Vet today because she's been scratching to where she was drawing blood. See people! Blood equals Vet visit. Ok, so some people can afford that type of care. I'm fortunate to be able to do so. Still, food and water and some basic attention & care isn't that hard. If you have an animal make sure you can care for it. My puppy has ear problems, allergies, a sensitive stomach, and she snapped a tendon in her back leg this summer. We've taken care of all of these things including the very expensive operation to repair her leg. (She's now walking on all four again. Excellent recovery!) I'm no saint, I just love my puppy. She's a member of my family as much as my wife or daughter or myself. Even when we found out the cost of the operation, we never considered doing anything else. We saved the money and paid the bill and my puppy jumping to meet me at the door makes it worth every penny.
So back to this horse that I mentioned earlier. It died. It had an infection from lack of care that was too great. The worst part is that the "owner" had the animal cruelty charges dropped because of lack of evidence. What?!?!?!??! You saw the horse didn't you! How is there a lack of evidence here! Where is the justice for these animals. It's not like they can fight back or leave and go find help. When I'm filthy rich, I'm going to form my own animal justice ninja taks force that will take justice into their own hands when these things happen.

I can't believe the Colts just lost!!! Mike (from Boston) while probably not happy because his Pats lost yesterday has got to have a grin about right now. Indy came so close too! After the Bus fumbled on the goal line and the return barely, and I mean BARELY, got stopped from going all the way, how did the Colts not get a TD? And then Vanderjagt missed the field goal to tie very badly. I am so amped right now after they near comeback and then loss that I seem to be shaking. Ok, so I'm in my cold basement, barefoot and maybe I'm just cold.
So this leaves Da Bears! Now the Bears play the Panthers (Carolina). After yesterday's games I said the Bears were in trouble b/c I thought only 3 of 4 teams that had first round byes would advance. But Indy lost so that leaves the door open for my Bears. Still not sure how they'll do against the Seahawks. I'd like to to see Rex Grossman a bit more in action, but the running game and D have been the Bears MO all year long. Now anyone that knows me knows that I love Chicago and the Bears are my fav. team so maybe this is destiny for Da Bears! Super Bowl XL champs!
