Some screenshots from playing playing the PC game Planetbase.  It is a pretty cool game and reminds me of the old game from the 90s called Outpost.

In this video I discuss how the economy works in the game. How to get the resources you need to expand your base.

I decided to try playing Star Wars: The Old Republic again.  I created a new character and I'm leveling him up.

This is about the only way I can concentrate.  I have to leave everything that is powered by a battery and can beep or make other noises that distract me.  When I'm out here I can focus and I'm truly happy.

The Millennial Project:  Colonizing The Galaxy in Eight Easy Steps, this books influenced me as a child is so many ways.  I think it was the combination of space exploration and hippie utopianism.  When I think about the future it is always framed in the perceptive built by this book.  The color pages located in the middle of the book are amazing!  I think that the saddest thing is how it has been forgotten by history.  There are used copies available on amazon though.

I'm not going to lie, The Mist was a movie I didn't appreciate until 5 years after it came out.  But what I found most interesting after another viewing was how many Walking Dead actors were in it.  There were three, Jeffery DeMunn (Dale), Laurie Holden (Andrea), and Melissa Suzanne McBride (Carol).  All are memorable characters from The Walking Dead.  The Thing I find most amazing is how Laurie Holden looks younger in 2012-2013 than she did in 2007, also she is likeable in The Mist.  After three season of The Walking Dead I though it was the actress I disliked not the character, boy was I wrong!

Wool just arrived today! I’ve heard nothing but good things. Once I finish the Under The Dome Audio book and Rocketship Galileo then this is next.  All I can say about Rocketship Galileo is WOW the 40s were naive about space travel.

I have a little less than 14 hours left in the 40+ hour audio book and I’m anxious to see what happens to the town of Chester’s Mill.  Hopefully it the ending a little more friendly to Barbie than it was to David Drayton in the film version of The Mist.

I also like the idea of having a game tied to a tv show. If it’s done right it could be pretty cool and most important it’s something different!

I originally didn't plan on buying the audiobook but there was a free exarpt on the audible app and after listen to the first 20 mins I had to buy it.  So far I'm about 1 1/2 hours in and it's still pretty good.  And at 34 hours it had better be!
