A line from a great comedy and apropos to boot since I came up with the idea of our resident highwire rodent. Hi there, my name is Alec and I'm the lead designer / developer / cheerleader at meetings pitching bizarre ideas for MyMoon content.
Earlier this year I was turned loose on the MyMoon project and ever since that faithful day when I bet my whole career at LPI on a prototype design lacking the usual NASA starfield, I've been trying to do things a little differently (okay, a lot).
So I'll be here posting from time to time about this and that until they decide to turn off my mic. You'll probably find me posting quite a bit about art, music, and the random musings of a pop culture addled web developer who has found himself looking up to the sky a lot more….and apparently talking about himself in the third person. Here's to hoping it's no more of the latter!
Cheers!

I know what it is. But I'll never tell. Unless that's being too un-dude.

Someone out there has to know what movie the title of my post is from. Or am I just an insufferable nerd-deluxe?
