Fell asleep during a meeting this afternoon. A big thank-you to Pepper for not dumping a bucket of water on my head to wake me.

A slightly belated but still very happy birthday to the late Peter O'Toole is in order. He would have been eighty-two, on August 2nd.

I think that means I'm watching Lawrence of Arabia tonight.

The wrist is mending. I can't wait to go back to work. I hate just sitting around with nothing to do.

Head injuries, though. They take those really seriously.

Moving into a new place is always an interesting experience. You find so many things while packing up your bags, things you held onto for nostalgic reasons. Some of them have no memory attached to them at all. Curious that we cannot seem to throw them away, even then.

I have a napkin in my duffel bag, I found it while I was unpacking. It's from a bar in Kabul, a place I liked to frequent with a friend of mine. Do you remember the place, Shepard? It's such a silly thing to hold onto, yet I find myself unable to put it in the trash where it belongs. We human beings are such silly things sometimes.

So should I be worried about my team or is it normal for people to give names to their laptops, phones and other electronic items? Because it's rather amusing to listen to them.

I am seriously suprised this is a thing right now.
Split California into six states

I can't believe people are still going on about how California is too big and should be split up into smaller states. Doing that would not solve the problems listed and just seems silly in the end. We have much larger issues to deal with and I could never see this going through Congress.

Hello! I thought I'd introduce myself on the network since I'm new to Orange County. I am a transplanted Chicagoan--I came to California for college and ended up staying.

My name is Hank McCoy (I do have a couple of Ph.Ds, but there's no need to call me "Doctor" unless you want to) and I'm in biochemical research, currently. I enjoy cultural events in addition to science--I have a great love of music, musical theatre, and drama.

I'm beginning to see a trend in my dreams, and that trend appears to be Tony Stark Almost Dying. I suppose it's a good thing that I'm not human in them, otherwise I'd likely have suffered several heart attacks. I don't know how Pepper does it, really.

So it turns out that my dreams take place in the 80s. I'm talking about the early 80s man. The big hair, the crazy clothes, the music (okay a bunch of music from the 80s is still good stuff). Seems I'm the same age there as I am here, and I own an arcade, just like I have in Vegas. Same name too, "Flynn's". Only this one's crammed with purely 80s stuff.

Seems I'd just gotten fired from the most prestigious tech company around and it's called, (drumroll please): ENCOM. Except my family didn't start it or own it. Some d-bag half bit fellow programmer stole a bunch of games I was creating on the side at my terminal at work, then presents them to ENCOM as HIS creations, and he gets promoted while I get a boot to the ass.

And of course it gets weirder. Me, Lora my ex-girlfriend (from college here and apparently the dreams) and her new boyfriend Alan all decide to break into ENCOM so I can hack the system directly and prove that this Dillinger guy stole my work so I can get my job back. Or reputation. Or both. All seems cool until apparently the computer starts talking to me - like HAL 3000 only with a British accent. It gets pissed off when I enter some halt and catch fire type code and zaps me with something and suddenly I'm somewhere else. A world that's dark with a lot of glowy lines and guards in funky clothes calling everyone "program". I had a feeling I was trapped inside a computer and now I know I was.

I get corralled with a bunch of other programs and trained for "The Games". Whatever that is. Apparently some of these programs have very puntastic names, like RAM. Oh and I meet Alan's program TRON that we were trying to use on the other side of the screen to find my missing data. TRON looks EXACTLY like Alan. I wonder if my CLU program hadn't been destroyed if he'd looked like me if I met him. It. Ugh. I need an aspirin.

Man, I am gettin' too damn old for this dream shit. There ain't enough old people on this network to complain about stuff with. I'm sittin' here in my office with the biggest cup of coffee I could find, daydreaming about the retirement I could have had.

I did not sign up for this crap. And who the hell am I to go playin' god with someone else's life like that?--

I see you on my network, stirrin' up trouble and wearing ladypants. When the hell did you start wearing ladypants? The Loki _I_ met had a pair of balls or two. Probably more balls than half the people on my helicarrier, anyway.

You dream about this Avengers crap? Are you gonna start squashing us like ants under a boot? I'm just tryin' to be prepared for the next disaster over here.

I got dragged in to work at some ungodly hour because people were complaining of seeing a giant flaming bird in the sky. Naturally, the people working the phones at that hour assumed they were all on drugs, and so I was woken up from a dead sleep to come in and investigate.

We swept all their houses and ran every test imaginable on the people that were hauled in, but nothing. No LSD, no K, no MDMA, no mushrooms of any kind. Just a giant bird in the sky.

I still think they were on something, but if they were, I haven't run into it yet.

Don't do drugs, people of California. Or you'll have to deal with a very displeased Detective Chauvelin.

On my way to go pick up my parents from the airport. I'm rather glad they decided to delay their trip, as they missed out on the genderswap dilemma and the freak snow storm. That'd be rather hard to explain in the long run, particularly to scientists.

I'm still trying to get used to the fact that America is so obsessed with celebrities. I went to LA over the weekend and my goodness! There were those weird buses that tour the city looking for celebs and people selling maps to their houses. I even saw a bunch of paparazzi camping out at a restaurant waiting for a star to emerge. Is this really how this place works? It's kind of insane and it makes me feel so much better about being a simple nobody. I don't think I would want that kind of publicity.

It appears my parents are coming to visit next month. The last time they traveled out was when I graduated from MIT, they've certainly never been as far as California. I suspect I'll have to come up with various ways to keep them entertained, too. If anyone has any suggestions I would certainly be forever grateful.

It's come to my attention that I've been a part of this network for nearly a year now, and I still know so few of you here. I'd very much like to change that.

And so, for anyone who would be interested, I will be hosting a cocktail party for the members of the network. It will likely be held the first week of May, if enough people decide they would like to come.

Please reply if you plan on attending, and note any dietary restrictions, so that I may start planning the menu.

Those who RSVP to this post will receive a formal invitation in the mail, with the exact date and time, and the location of the party.

I look forward to seeing you all there.

Sirius and I will be leaving Saturday for England. We finally decided a few weeks back where we were going to go on our vacation, which is my school vacation and we found tickets that weren't horrendously expensive. The full moon is tomorrow, so we won't have to worry about that. I'm looking forward to this trip quite a lot. It'll be nice to spend time with Sirius with no interruptions.

Seeing as neither of us have been to England before, except in our dreams, what should we see for sure while we're there? I know there's quite a lot of people here who are from England.

All those aftershocks and then another earthquake this afternoon. It should be alarming now that when my windows start rattling I barely glance up. I hope that if any of you were among the displaced homes in Fullerton you're doing all right. Fortunately, California isn't really much a stranger to these things.

My father keeps wanting me to push up the release date of my product, but I had that date set for a reason. I want as much time as possible to work out all the bugs.

It's my first solo project, and the last thing I want to do is have to recall it because of something not working the way it should.

Still, it's nearly done, and I know it will be ready by the release date that I set for it.

I just wish he would trust me, sometimes.

I have finally found something that has made me feel my age.

For a while now, I've denied the fact that I'm starting to go grey, and my vanity has driven me to the salons to cover it up.

Now and again of course, I touch it up a little at home, as one does.

Abigail caught me the other day and has apparently decided I've committed a crime against humanity. She thinks I ought to let it go naturally.

I suppose it could look distinguished, but my pride has taken a great blow because of this.

I'm noticing a somewhat upsetting trend the last few days around here. That is, people forgetting their birthdays. And I'm sad to say I'm one of them. In the midst of work and the whole volcano incident, it was the furthest from my mind until I got a card in the mail from my parents this afternoon.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one, at any rate.

I'm very much heeding the advice and staying indoors. While this place is generally odd at the worst of times, the inclusion of a natural disaster doesn't particular put me at ease. At the very least, I'll be able to focus on a few personal projects I've got underway.

I'm sure everyone's read this enough in the past few hours, but, please, do be safe. When people tell you to stay indoors, it's generally wise to listen. And by all means (and I say this on behalf of Tony, who I'm certain will agree), to all Stark Employees, nothing you're working on is more important than your immediate safety. Please do not try to go to work until this has cleared over.

Pretty sure that sounds like a plot for a just about any Valentine's Day chick flick.

Anyhow, Kevin Flynn is officially off the market and a married man! Who woulda thought... ;)

With all the work I do with artificial intelligence and robotics, I suppose I have a unique point of view when it comes to the creatures that science fiction seems to produce. But the similarity I've found between most of these books and movies boils down to one question: Can robots feel?

Technology is progressing by leaps and bounds, and yet that question still remains, as it has for decades. I've found myself pondering it, as we draw closer to Valentine's Day, which celebrates love in most all its forms.

Can a robot learn to love? Could we someday progress so far that something mechanical could learn to feel human emotions, as we feel them. Or will they always be subpar, in that respect.

December is such a non-stop month. I feel like it's just party after party, and not even very good ones (my apologies). After the third one, you realize you just see the same people in a different venue and no one's got anything to talk about anymore. Thankfully once January rolls around, there aren't going to be any for a while.

So, as it is, I'm going to blame the excessive consumption of eggnog this last week or so for the bizarre dreams I've had.

Has anyone else here dreamed of being not exactly human? Say, being a piece of technology, of sorts?

Hello, my name is David Weyland. I suppose I'm rather behind in joining this network, as I've been doing most of my social networking through our own site, but I was told it was a good place to introduce myself.

I work for my father, Peter Weyland, at Weyland Industries, and I'm very excited to be a part of the new and, might I say without sounding too full of myself, revolutionary technologies that will soon be made available to the general public.

It's always good to come back home. As much fun as traveling can be, nothing quite beats a familiar setting, though I admit that while I've lived here some time, I'm new to this board.

My name is Edwin Jarvis. I've just returned from a business trip abroad and thought I'd come have a look here. Apparently it's a very good way of keeping up with the goings-on of Orange County. Those of you who work at Stark Industries likely already know me, but for the rest of you, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
