I don’t trust anyone over 25… Never have.
This book is pretty great, some of the tech seems a bit squishy but overall the book is a fun read. I am going to pass the book onto Carter when I am done. He is ahead of me on books read for the year… Damn It.

Here is the first pic of Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee in Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. I am looking forward to the movie, but I can imagine it will be hard to come up with something anywhere close to the book. The picture does capture some of the bleakness of the situation though.
I believe they are wrapping up principle photography in Oregon right now. Using the grey, overcast Oregon coast for the final scenes in the movie. I think some of it was shot around Astoria. That location has some real film history – Kindergarten Cop and Goonies. Hmmmm.
Found on IO9

I think this is a pretty good photo. I took it on the last turn of a game of Risk Carter and I were playing this weekend. Carter just crushed me, right from the beginning. On the last turn I had two troops on two different planets. Yuck
I boosted the colors a little, but the DOF is all real.

Someone emailed this to me today. While I hate spammed out joke mails, this is pretty funny.

The Petersons love a couple of prime time tv shows. The Office and Heroes. Someone on the interweb hooked us up with both. Check it!

I went to the Emerald City Comic-Con this weekend. We had a busy weekend – Claire’s Birthday Pony Party on Saturday and Mothers day on Sunday. Somehow I was able to escape for a couple hours on both Saturday and Sunday and wander the Con.
I realized that if you can identify comic book writers and artists by sight you are probably a nerd. I got autographed books from Rick Remender and Robert Kirkman. I also picked up a page of original art from the Powers comic by Michael Avon Oeming. I think I will put that up in the office. There are a few pics on Flickr. Click through to check ‘em.

Claire wanted to have a horse party this year. You only turn 6 once, so Vickie called around and got 2 ponies to come and give rides to the kids. It was pretty fun. Much Success.

If you weren’t one of the people who drove Iron Man to that crazy number you should go check it out. We had a impromptu "Bring Your Son To Work Day" on Friday – Meaning Carter skipped school, and I ditched a couple of meetings and we went to a movie. Both of us thought it was the best Comic Book based movie we had seen. Better than Batman Begins, Spiderman or X-Men. Certainly better than Fantastic Four or the Hulk. The movie is getting a 94% positive on RottenTomatoes. That is a crazy good number for any movie, but a superhero flick? Crazy Go Nuts. Best reviewed movie of the year so far.
If you do go make sure you stay till the Very End. There is a cameo that I was pretty sure would be there. Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury. I have been reading the Ultimates for a few years and The Ultimates version of Nick Fury is based on Jackson. He signed away his likeness. He makes a reference to starting up an Avengers Program… That would be crazy. I can’t imagine enough money or stars ready to do a Avengers movie, but they threw it out there.
Ultimate Nick Fury 
Someone took this in the theater and posted it on flickr.
