I Told You To Forget It, Uncle Owen

I received an e-mail today from a friend, horribly banished into the netherworld of London, Ontario, that said:

Uncle Owen lives in Washington state!!

I checked it out....toooooo cool! I have always wanted to know more about the actor behind Uncle Owen. I recall watching him in some other film and it did take me a little while during that viewing to realize who it was. He is a good actor.

A few minutes before the Phil Brown e-mail, I got this:

More Imperial hasbeens--er, "officers," with websites:

"This battlestation is now the ultimate power in the universe, I suggest we use it."
http://home.comcast.net/~webchief/

"There are so many, uncharted settlements."
http://www.michaelsheard.com/

I suppose I would do the same thing. If I were a character from the Star Wars universe, I would use that to make sure people knew who I was. But, then again, it seems sad that the only way one can distinguish one's self amongst the millions of actors in Hollywood (aren't they all actors down there?) is to make sure you capitalize on the single role that people would know?

Hmmm.

podcasting

What else do I do? I talk out loud, record it, and post it on line. I chatter about all kinds of things. Some of the things are nerdy, some professional, and some of them are very much NSFW. Why? Because do them for myself and my non-work life. You can be the judge.
