Every since 1984 when I first saw the movie Buckaroo Banzai I have been obsessed with the very simple ideas of following your interest as far as it can go, and being cool while being nice. I love making friends with interest that go beyond my own. This has allowed me to grow by simply spending time with my friends, finding out what they enjoy doing and trying out it myself. Because of this I have experienced many exciting things and surrounded myself with a diverse group of IT professionals, web designers, project managers, artist, armorers, medical professionals, teachers, film makers, writers, actors, scientiest, lawyers, game designers, armed services types, and others too diverse to list easily. Its really nice to know that on almost any given day I can go on an adventure doing what they love to do, and in turn I can share with them the various interest I have. The goal of it all is be the best generalist I can be.

I guess then it will be no surprise that my wife is into special effects make up, directing, production management, project management, playing the didgeridoo, screen writing, and music amoung other interest. I am thrilled to be allowed to explore her interest and I hope she has enjoyed exploring some of mine. I am very proud of her accomplishments.

It all just sort of hit me once again in these past couple of days how amazingly cool she is. Right now she's putting the finishing touches on her Masters thesis, which is a marketable feature length movie script while she is managing two high risk high profile million dollar IT projects, while persuing a career, and still has time to record backup vocals for The Malamondos. If that isn't living the Dr. Banzai way I don't know what is.
