About Me

I'm a Software Engineer by trade but like to consider myself an all around geek.  This blog is a place where you'll find my thoughts on a number of different things I'm passionate about.  More often than not though that list tends to include: Technology, Social Media and the Web in general, Geek Culture (TV/Movies/SciFi), Space Exploration, Music/A Cappella.

(Any opinions, etc. expressed here are purely my own.)

America isn't Easy.

DateSaturday, July 4, 2009 at 8:00AM

No where have I ever found a more eloquent or better delivered description of how the experiment of America is supposed to work than Aaron Sorkin (West Wing) and Michael Douglas' President Andrew Shepherd from the movie "The American President."  If you have never seen the whole movie I implore you to watch it in its entirety (I'm sure it's on Netflix) but at the very least especially today please watch the speech below and consider the powerful words as you celebrate today in your own way.

And just for fun Bill Pulman's speech from the movie "Independence Day".
