Powerpedia Lives

by

While coming up with names (and uses) for my wiki, I came up with a name that I actually like and think is appropriate for this blog. For ages I just called it Scott.ac. Kind of dull, even though it is descriptive of the domain name. Well Jayson and I were riding the subway home the other day and he was telling me the name of his wiki, Wikilicious. Cool but not 100% original. I was trying to come up with something catchy but distinctive to me. Then Powerpedia came to me. .com was taken so I am sticking with .net. Power(z) because that is the online persona I have taken. See my new wiki for the story (link redacted).

So I have a cool & descriptive name, I might as well use it for things like this blog as well as for the wiki.

Stay tuned for some cosmetic changes to the site also, and most importantly read. I can be interesting sometimes!

Vader Mask

by

Not sure if I should admit this, but I have had this since December. Got it as a joke since Kai and I always through back and forth stupid movie sayings. I leave the mast on my windowsill or desk at work. Important to note that I never wore it. At least 2 others at work have (that I know about), but I won’t put it on. I do use it to play nonsensical Vader sounds when people piss me off though!

The West Side

by

If you haven’t figured it out yet, I live in Manhattan. To everyone else in the universe that means New York City. I have lived in NYC most of my life, but only last year moved to Manhattan. I live on the east site (exact location: classified). Last week while walking with Jay & Gretchen I found this interesting almost imaginary place called the West Side. I never imagined there being life past 6th ave. I went back again today to return something from a store. I am still amazed at the West side. More specifically I am amazed how I (and most of my friends) never goto a place that is less than 3 miles from where I live. I spend most of my time on the East side. I barely goto Queens anymore, and when I do I grumble that it is far. Yet I used to commute every day for years.

Just something I thought about when I was on the subway returning to the good old East side. I never thought of myself as one of those snobby people who thought NYC was the center of the universe, but maybe deep down I am? Probably not, but outsiders may think so!
