Meeting the Admiral

Everyday Bill Adama Cubee autographed

I had the chance to meet actor and activist Edward James Olmos at the Dallas Comic Con 2010 and he was awesomely kind enough to sign one of the Bill Adama cubees I designed.

Mr. Olmos was very warm and approachable, and an all-around gentleman. It was my pleasure and honor to meet him and to hear him speak. His passion for social change and equality is admirable, inspirational, and contagious. He makes me want to be a better citizen of this world.

Recipe: Cucumber & Dill Sandwich

Sunday, September 19, 2010

If you’re looking for a light, cool and refreshing sandwich, try this standby from our family kitchen, a cucumber sandwich spruced up with a few fresh herbs, a light spread of cream cheese and a dash of salt.

What you’ll need…

  • Cucumber
  • Bread (of your choice)
  • Fresh Dill
  • Fresh Chives (chopped)
  • Whipped Cream Cheese (the reduced-fat variety)
Fix it up…

Spread a light layer of cream cheese on one side of the bread, sprinkle chopped chives lightly across, layer with cucumbers and a few pinches of fresh dill, then salt lightly to bring out the flavors.

About Me
Yes, I'll admit it. I love Battlestar Galactica, Dune, Star Trek, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Macs, iPods, NASA, Wii, Xbox ... and about a dozen other things that qualify me for geek status. Oh, and then there's my love for all things Longhorn and the NFL...

The GalactiCubees

I've created a series of BSG-themed Cubees -- a paper art form that requires no glue or tape to assemble.

You can check out my GalactiCubees (and other BSG-related fanart) at my deviantART page.

Just A Thought

The candidate of choice for discerning BSG fans and voters! Actually, I've been musing lately about what would happen if people were to write-in Laura Roslin as their presidential candidate. Can't you just imagine the press coverage if a fictional character garnered a significant portion of the vote from real candidates?
BSG Quotes
Roslin: I love you.
Adama: About time.
