Another Halloween is rolling around and we’ll be sitting out in front giving out candy. I would really love to watch some scary movies but no one wants to so I’m bummed. I’m sure there will be some great movies on TV so I’m going to try and sneak some in tonight.

Speaking of TV – anyone remember her? I do…vividly.

Thanks for letting me share.

Again, was at the Maker site and saw this video on a High Speed Robot Hand. The announcer leaves much to be desired but watch the 3min video and check out the slow-motion stuff. The phone catch at 2:45 seconds is most impressive.

Saw this while surfing online. It’s from the Makers blog. Way cool.

Guy is pretty funny because he forgets to charge his iPod during the test.

Sitting at my desk at work eating my lunch wishing I could read my book.

I could have brought it from home but I know better. I can’t read during my lunch hour.

“What!? You can’t read at work?!”

Yes I can but not without falling asleep.

See, I’ve gotten used to winding down from a busy day by getting into bed, picking up my book and read till I get sleepy.

So guess what happens when I try to read anywhere other than from my bed?

Zzzzzzzzzzzz.

I’ve been a big fan of Vince Flynn for some time now and tonight, I finally get to start reading my book Pursuit of Honor.

I know it sounds funny but to me nothing beats sitting down, away from the computer, iPhone or TV and just let a writer entertain you with a good book.

I got turned on to these types of political thrillers when my buddy Al introduced me to Tom Clancy so many years back. I kind of got lost in the political mess in his books and another friend told me of this up and coming writer, Vince Flynn.

I started to read his books way back and it seems this guy likes to put out a book every year. So I wait, buy it, then read it. He’s got a very interesting clandestine operative named Mitch Rapp. This guy doesn’t mess around when it comes to taking our terrorists for the US Counter Terrorist Unit. Guess that’s why I didn’t get hooked on the Kiefer Sutherland 24 show – I was already reading it.

Tonight I get to start reading and I hope this is a good one. He’s got his own website and other books but the one I would reccomend is Transfer of Power. Go find it at your local used bookstore.
