Anniversary blog

Posted on by John T. Harpster


Summary

This is an anniversary blog. Its been ten years since I started this site. I started this site after my Bricksville.net site, which was twelve years ago. This blog includes events like my projects and stuff. Before this it included my Lego projects like the X-77 and X-78.

Anyway, I’ll be tweaking the links and the grammar sometimes with dad but I haven’t done it yet. I know it sometimes gets confusing since I added separate pages for films, space, themes and the Lego page. Sometimes sites I link to die out. I don’t like social media things on my blog.

Throughout the years since I started this blog, there have been a lot of events such as:

  • The Red Sox won the world series over the Cardinals in four games

  • reelection of George W. Bush in 2004

  • New England Patriots winning the Super Bowl over the Philadelphia Eagles

  • return of the Space Shuttle program

  • Dexter television series

  • Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Sandy

  • election of Obama in 2008

  • SOPA and PIPA

  • Middle East conflicts like Israel and Palestine

  • Arab Spring

  • earthquake and tsunami in Japan

  • missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

  • The Boeing 777 had a few safety issues like BA Flight 38 and Asiana Airlines Flight 214

  • Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 shot in eastern Ukraine during the Pro-Russian movement

  • Korean Air Lines Flight 007 was shot down near the Sakhalin Islands in 1983 killing all 269 onboard.

In the last ten years, I’ve been playing Orbiter Space Flight Simulator which I got from the Orbiter website. If you’d like to see the Orbiter software, here’s a link. It is freeware and it was developed by Martin Schweiger. Another space simulator program was released as a Steam version game called Kerbal Space Program. This software came out a year ago but I’ve never played it.

When I was 14 I read Manga little bit. I also read Cyborg 009 (until I donate it to Goodwill). I also used to watch anime shows during those childhood years, shows like Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z and Cowboy Bebop.

Right now, I am focused on getting the image module enabled on the site this weekend so I can have image galleries for my art and photos. In the meantime, I am going to upload the files using File-zilla since my mom hasn’t set up the galleries yet.
