Well it snowed again this week. Does this count as “climate change”? As I mentioned before, I was going to try and get some pictures up of the snow, so here’s a quick photo from out our front window of the second snowfall of the week and the winter.
The lake is off to the right of the house in the picture, obscured by the snow! Love the winter. Glad I’ve got four wheel drive!

I just saw a report last night (I think on CNN) about some riots from the far-left activists (protesting the recent vote to ban gay marriage) and the commentator brought up a great point that I agree with. Allow me to explain.
We just had several important issues determined by a democratic ballot. This country elected Barack Obama, the congress gained several democratic seats, and the people of California voted to ban gay marriage.
I feel that this is what makes this country the greatest country in the world. Every other year we elect officials, every four years, we elect a president. It is peaceful and has worked for over two centuries.
And this is why I congratulate President-elect Obama on his win. Do I agree with his positions? No. But he won, and he’s our next president, elected fair and square.
Sure, we elect some people over the years who aren’t the best leaders. Sure, not everyone can be happy with the results of the elections. But we accept the results and move on.
And this is what Republicans did on earlier this year. When McCain conceded and Obama became President-elect Obama, Republicans accepted this and began looking at why this happened and what we can do for the next election, like we did in 1994, to reclaim the congress and White House. We won a huge victory in that election (two years after Clinton was elected).
What is sad is the reaction from the other side. The people of California spoke and said they wanted a constitutional ban on gay marriage. Instead of accepting the voice of the people and the democratic results, the far left has decided to riot and attack.
And this next bit is what got me thinking:
Recent news has shown mobs of the far-left harassing an elderly woman holding a cross, mobs blocking traffic, more traffic, and much more. While they are a small minority, these are the people who have become the driving force in the new Democratic party.
Why is it that the left loves to brag about how tolerant they are and how inclusive they are and then when they don’t get what they want, they riot, harass, and literally act like little crying babies?
I’m actually sad for them. They don’t even seem to realize their hypocrisy. They don’t even seem to realize that they are not the inclusive, tolerant, group they so loudly claim.

This chilly weather brought some early snow and Zoe went wild in the snow! It was just a dusting, but it was enough to get her very hyper, and she started to dig down into the fresh snow.
If this is a sign of things to come, it looks like it’s going to be a cold, snowy winter! Must be ‘global warming.’ *grin*

Just a quick update today. I’ve been swamped with video production work. Most of it is animation, motion graphics, and visual effects work.
In fact, I’ve now got a second film under my belt on IMDB. And the cool part is that for the this most recent film, ’77, I’m listed right next to Richard Yuricich, a visual effects consultant who worked on 2001 and Mission Impossible, and I’m listed just a little under John Knoll. His works include visual effects supervisor for The Abyss, Star Wars, The Hunt for Red October, Pirates of the Caribbean, and much more.
It was an honor to work on the same film as these giants.
Add this to the new floor we installed, new dog, and a few other surprises, things are pretty darn cool. More soon!

Well gang, another report out that this has been a RECORD year for hurricane INACTIVITY. This year has seen the lowest activity in 30 years!
(Source)
It is still amazing to this day that people still believe in the environmentalists. The stats don’t lie. There is no man-made global warming. The only warming trend was a short one caused by the sun activity. Since the solar activity has subsided, the planet’s temperature has been cooling ever since.
And as a result, water temperatures cool, reducing hurricane activity.
