What it says in the Title, various rambling, musings and such of one Magnus von Thornwood, Baron Regina and his alter ego (or is the other way around, I get confused about it sometimes), basic boring blog stuff, really are you still reading this? Good for you.
So here I am working on the newest and best computer I have yet to purchase (having found out that the "keyboard" on the iPad bites rocks for those of us old enough to have been trained to keep our fingers resting on the home row, do that on the iPad and well, you get a nice long line of gibberish) when I realize most of the awesome things in my life are second hand (which since Victoria is a refurbish, she counts too.

So being of the Tribe of Science Fiction, I think we need to start a new set of laws for cybernetics. The go something like this...
We of the Tribe of Science Fiction, the Prophets of the Future, having given ample warnings which you heed not, shall be reminded once again of the Most Holy Words:
One. Thou shall not make a machine mind that is capable of controlling every other computer on the planet.
Two. If you do violate the First Law, then thou shall surely not then give it the Unho
So, being that I love Traveller and signed up for a pre-order of T5, I waited for my disc to come, which it did, lucky me!

So here I am back and finally online for what I hope is a good long time.

So, here what's up in Magnusland these days, I found out (well I pretty much guessed) that I have crappy credit and in order to secure (now that's a laugh, but mo

So, here is my first blog and in the Tradition of the Weird, I felt I had to make note of this occasion.
I got hit by the weirdest of burglars today...well last night...actually I don't know. One of the creepy parts of burgs.
I as you might know recently moved. Cool, so far. Well, since I am now closer to my RL work, today I decide to come home and sleep in my own bed with my beloved cat. Oh I am so clever....
