2012 – Enter the Dragon
12.24.2011
… and we shall look back on these days as a Renaissance.
I can feel the moon pulling me to go out beyond the break-wall as we stand at the brink of the next great adventure in human capabilities.
I hope that this year will be remembered as a time of celebration rather than that of defeat. I hope that we have the resolve to create more than we destroy and to live rather than simply fear to die.
I have faith that we can accomplish this, each of us together.

This piece features one of my favorite antagonists in fiction, Raven, from Neal Stephenson's novel "Snow Crash".
"Raven: an Aleut harpoon master whose motorcycle's sidecar packs a nuke wired to go off should he ever be killed. Raven has never forgiven the U.S. for the way they handled the Japanese invasion of the Aleutian Islands or for the nuclear testing on Amchitka." - wiki
