Forgot about "Ready Player One". Amazing. I'd move it into my 2nd place. If you happened to grow up in the 80's you should read it. Even better on audio.

Seems to me I picked up Variable Star not long after it first came out in hardback. After being so long not having heard Heinlein's voice, that was so very refreshing! Sure, in a lot of ways, it was a redux of some of RAH's…

The Naked God (Really all of the NIghts Dawn Trilogy by Pter F. Hamilton) The Dark Beyond the Stars <---- kickass Revelation Space/Redemption Ark by Alastair Reynolds. Snow Crash was pretty good too.

"Got any dragons you want killed?" Glory Road is GREAT fun and certainly deserves mention.

Profile Information

About Me: I'm pretty much a homebody, and like "my space". I love working in mixed media collage and different mediums . . . and recently I sold my first art piece! I have several tattoos and I've always thought of them as sort of the "poor man's art collection", plus I can take them with me wherever I go!

Most of my time lately seems to be spent online, or in my studio. I have a husband and a 2yr old granddaughter that keep me happy, and busy. I do like spending time with my son, his fiance and her family too.

I guess I've always been a nonconformist, . . . or in 60's terminology, a hippie. I live my life in jeans and tennis shoes, and see no reason to change now :) I really enjoy talking with young people, listening to their views of the world we live in, and what they think the future holds.

I was raised catholic and attended catholic elementary school, but I don't ever remember believing in god. Even as a child I could see that the stories we were told by the nuns were more fairy tale than actual reality.

I recall my parents being unhappy with me when I raised my sons with no religious beliefs, but they eventually got over it. Mostly, I guess I'm sort of laid back and have a bizarre sense of humor, or so I'm told. I know I'm getting old, but I'm not ready for the "raisin ranch" just yet!

School/College/University: high school graduate

Profession: artist, formerly a business owner

Age Group: 51-60

City and State (For Member Searching): Columbus,OH

Country (For Member Searching): USA

I've been busy this summer, that's for sure . . .

Many years ago I raised & kept parrots as pets, I even bred them for awhile. So now that I have the time again, I've gotten back into it. I recently purchased 4 baby lovebirds from a breeder in my area and they need hand fed every 4 hours. When they reach about 6 months of age I'll set up breeding boxes and see what happens. Even if they don't have babies I enjoy their company so much. They're small in stature but big in personality! Also, they come in various colors which makes them so pretty. These little clowns love cuddling and playing on me, so they're out of their cages most of the day.

I've been babysitting my granddaughter 3 days a week too. She'll turn 2 in October and is so smart & funny. We watch "Sponge Bob & Dora the Explorer" a lot and I get all the hugs and kisses that I want :)

Now that the college football season has begun, my son & I spend Saturdays together watching the Ohio State games. Go Buckeyes! Being a college town, game day is pretty insane around here. The rest of my time is spent online or reading. I've always been a huge sci-fi fan and there's so many books I haven't read yet. It's a good thing I read fast!

Life's been treating me good lately and I love every minute of it. I posted a few photos of the babies, take a look.

Thanks for the friend invite
I was re-reading the discussion you started in the SF group on the top 3 favorites and came acrossed this comment of yours,
"I can't write but I do value having a great imagination, nothing is better than losing myself in another universe for a few hours."
On Xmas I saw Avatar and it will take you to that other universe of which you write and immerse you in it for 2 1/2 hours. My wife is a professional artist and she was in a trance for 2 1/2 hours . There is so much in the film that one can't possibly absorb it all in a single viewing - I know I didn't. Make sure the theater is showing the 3D version - preferable in IMAX

I never did update my page with the Switzerland photos. I really must. I'll let you know when they are up - some of them are stunning if I do say so myself....

I've not been around much either. I sort of lurked and didn't post much. Sorry to hear you've had a hectic time from the sounds of it!

I gave up on windows and moved onto mac. :D Best decision I think I ever made.

I thought they made harddrives to crazy sizes these days - what is your hard drive full of???
Don't answer that ';-)

Well the thign about a new harddrive installation is whther or not you intend to run the operating system off of it.

If the second hard drive is just going to serve as a data dump where you can stick all the files and folders you don't want clogging up hard drive 1, then formatting it should be as simple as finding the hard drive once installed and saying "format this form me please" (I think right-click on the drive.)

Whatever you do DON'T format the drive with all your files on - otherwise they are gone for good and if you don't have the install discs then you'll be well and truly buggered.

So Step 1) Check which hard drive is which. (Hint: one will say 99% full the other will be empty - again under preferences right click on the drive icon.)

but assuming you've found the right drive right-click select format and go through the instructions and prompts and windows *should* format the thing and sweep it clear. Ready for you to drag and drop everything you've got on the other one to clear some room.

Essentially you'll be treating it as a portable USB drive, with the one major exception that if you try to suspend it from a dongle around your neck you'll probably give yourself spinal damage! ;-)

Re: work yup still unemployed but I had an interview on..letmesee...Thursday 9th. So *fingers crossed*

I started a new Dennet (Darwin's Dangerous idea) and started on some Pinker (The Language Instinct)
