I Add Another Landmark To My Universe...
Aug. 12th, 2011 08:03 pmI am now "FPilotRatherMnr" on TWITTER.
I haven't tweeted anything yet nor have I contacted any of my LJ buddies who tweet. Something tells me I probably won't use it very much. For now.

Someplace in the Tropics and/or the Southern Hemisphere...even though it's fairly pleasant here (and mostly snow-free) at the moment, I know it could change in an instant.

Some say it's about 9/11/2001, but I think it's much more than that.

Who Is Stephen Bierce?
Jul. 28th, 2010 01:05 amHaving a Harvey Pekar moment...no better time for it.
Google Image has retooled the interface, which means that you get to see more content and don't have to click through a lot of pages to do it. That's nice. You lose some detail and control tho'. Not sure if I like that so much.
So I decide to look up myself tonight. I have a habit that automatically narrows the focus: I set the name "Ambrose" as well as two alternate spellings of that in the EXCLUDE box, so my most famous relative isn't caught in the sweep. Nor do I wish, necessarily, to receive responses related to the author of Band of Brothers.
One of the first things that came up was a photo of a tombstone in a cemetary in Danby, a suburb of Ithaca, NY. One "Stephen Beers". He was born just before the American Revolution and lived till the 1840s. I do not know if he would have been a relation of mine geneology-wise...but the facts are that the family migration started in Massachusetts, crossed the lower Hudson Valley, and swept through upstate New York to the Ohio Valley, where eventually Lucius and Ambrose came along in our history. There are some missing links between my family line and the one that started it all in Massachusetts...and I want to find them someday.
But that begs the question, who is he to me?--And who am I to him? Should I take it as a good sign or a bad one that he lived to be seventy-five years of age in "interesting times"? And will, a century and a half from now, there be somebody as curious about me and my life, as I am about this man in the past?
Is there somebody in your past centuries...forgotten but for that time you look yourself up in a search engine?

Found my actual precedent-setting entry, from January of 2006:
At the level of BETTER THAN DESPERATION SUCCESS--
I'd have a nice house in the hills of Florida near Gainesville or Clermont (northwest of Orlando). I'd have a nicer car, a nicer computer, a nicer bed to sleep in, nicer clothes to wear. I'm not sure if I'd stay single or get into a long term relationship with someone if I were more successful...that's a bridge I'd have to cross when I come to it.
At the level of IF I WERE A MEGARICH MAN--
I'd be a publisher and producer of science-fiction books, anime shows, movies, games software and the like. I'd be a manufacturer of toys and scale model kits. I'd be involved in Virgin Galactic. I'd have at least two houses on every inhabited continent. I'd sponsor museums and libraries. I'd work hard, but it would be as if playing with the ultimate toys. I would not be stressed, I would just be having fun.
How does this sound to you?

(I remember answering a question like this before. I just wonder where and to whom.)
I'd probably have half a dozen places around the world to live. I'd write books and produce movies and get involved with loads of special projects.
