After having been introduced to Terry Brooks, I started at the beginning with The Sword of Shannara, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Then I moved on to book two in Terry Brooks’ first trilogy, The Elfstones of Shannara.

Sid Meier’s Civilization: PC Gaming Nostalgia at its Finest (Still addictive after all these years!)
Created in 1991 by Sid Meier and Bruce Shelley for MicroProse, Sid Meier’s Civilization is a game that changed the game. The objective is simple, “Build an empire to stand the test of time,” but achieving the objective in this turn-based strategy game isn’t so simple.

Rotospective: A Journey through American Pop, Lessons in History, Family and American music
American Pop is an amazing journey through the family tree of four generations of a Russian Jewish immigrant family of musicians and songwriters as told through the american music scene. Family matters, heirlooms, relationships and music. In my opinion, this is the best movie following a family tree throughout generations that has ever been attempted. That is follows popular American music is an added bonus, but at it’s heart this film is about family.
Declassify >John F. Kennedy’s Role in Space Exploration Cannot and Must Not be Understated
November 22, 2013 is 50 years to the day that then President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Fifty years is a long time ago, but for the man who lived for just a short 46 years, he did a lot for his country and the world.
There has been and will continue to be a lot of remembrances of the 35th President of the United States of America, but I for one am grateful for the path he started us on, in a speech before a Joint Session of Congress on May 25th, 1961 and reiterated in a speech on the campus of Rice University as well.
