Minus the Silencer: The Best SciFi on Television
http://minusthesilencer.blogspot.com/2008/02/best-scifi-on-television.html
Friday, February 29, 2008. The Best SciFi on Television. Having spent my formative years during a time when Star Trek had multiple shows running, my view of scifi was significantly influenced by it. For me, the future was supposed to be filled with humans and aliens working side by side while computers would take care of all the mundane paperwork. In fact, I can't recall seeing a single sheet of paper in any of the post Star Trek: TNG shows. On a leap of faith, I asked for season one. Follow me on Twitter.

Minus the Silencer: June 2007
http://minusthesilencer.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 29, 2007. Looking at a map of the T. Our first stop in Boston was the Samuel Adams. The morning started off at Boston Common. A public park of 44 acres set aside by the original Puritan founders. Our tour started from this central location and followed what's called the Freedom Trail. Our next stop was the Langham hotel. Early evening saw us wandering the Harvard. It was quite a bit smaller but their penguin exhibit was worth the visit alone. A native of the area. Established by a man na...

Minus the Silencer: A trip to New York with the Brazilians
http://minusthesilencer.blogspot.com/2008/01/trip-to-new-york-with-brazilians.html
Friday, January 25, 2008. A trip to New York with the Brazilians. Early last week I received an urgent message from my Brazilian buddy Tony imploring me to come to New York for the weekend to hang out with him and his brother Beto who had been working there for the previous six months and wanted to spend his remaining weekend there partying. At first I protested but by Wednesday I'd gone ahead and purchased a ticket for myself on the very convenient Chinatown bus. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Minus the Silencer: April 2007
http://minusthesilencer.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 23, 2007. Making the switch to Moonkin. When I used to play Warcraft 3 a few years ago, my favorite character class to use against the enemy was the Druid. Their ability to shift into different forms gave them what I felt was a tremendous advantage. So naturally when I picked up World of Warcraft a few months ago, my first character was a Night Elf Druid. Fortunately they'd gained the ability to shift into other forms besides Bear. Gradually, I changed out all my gear as well and went for t...

Minus the Silencer: Democracy
http://minusthesilencer.blogspot.com/2007/08/democracy.html
Saturday, August 11, 2007. Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, Democracy. Spans the years from 1969 to 1974 and tells the tale of two Germanies, East and West, locked together in idealogical battle for the soul of their country. Willy Brandt. The East Germans were of course apprehensive of this move but fortunately for them their spy service, the Stasi. Answering to two masters, Günter began to feel increasingly torn as his relationship with the Chancellor grew. He wanted to satisfy his Stasi b...

Minus the Silencer: August 2008
http://minusthesilencer.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 15, 2008. I immediately jumped at the opportunity. The Anfiteatro Flavio and Capri. These highlights in addition to the wonderful Neopolitan shellfish-based dishes that seemed to be offered at every restaurant in the area made for an amazing time. With flavors we liked, then we'd stop and get some ice cream. What with its creamy texture and amazing flavor, Italian gelato is far superior to anything that can be found Stateside.

Minus the Silencer: San Diego, New York and back to DC
http://minusthesilencer.blogspot.com/2008/03/san-diego-new-york-and-back-to-dc.html
Thursday, March 27, 2008. San Diego, New York and back to DC. The time spent in my hometown was both enjoyable and relaxing. Hanging out with my friends Greg, Jeff and Nicole was a blast and I spent my evenings at watering holes both new and old. My main reason for returning was to attend an Eagle Scout ceremony but that was canceled. I did however attend the locally famous Troop 748 Pancake Breakfast. Fellow scouts that I hadn't seen in years. Service from JFK to Jamaica Station, I then boarded a LIRR.
