You went to school in the 'Burgh? Whereabouts? I attended a college there as well, though some years later than you would have.

Graduated from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh in 1991. Lived on East Carson for the first year of school and rented a house on city steps off Arlington Ave for the last year and a half I lived there. I like Pittsburgh. They have their own way of speakin. I lived on the Sah'side while I was there and worked in S'Liberty for a while and had to travel through the tubes. I could never find enough gum bands though.......

btw I think I may have actually bought the book at the Century III mall if that's still there. Wow, I can't believe I just remembered that.

So far as I know, Century III mall is still there. It's not as prominent though. A mall opened up in Robinson Township some time ago and that's all the rage at the moment.

I'm actually from Beaver County, to the north of the city. I graduated from Sawyer School (on Liberty Avenue) in 2000 with an associate's degree in business and a handful of the classic Microsoft certs. (I was insane, I commuted every day instead of moving into the dumpy apartments that passed for dorms.) Currently I'm attending New Horizons training center in Greentree (near the Parkway Center Mall, on the Parkway West) to get my MCSA + Security. (And probably my MCSE too but one step at a time.)

I knew some people who went to the Art Institute, but that was years ago. Are you from this area originally?

Originally from near Buffalo NY and still live in that area. Just lived in Pittsburgh while I was going to school. I liked it though 3 years was enough. I'm a country boy and being in a city that long did start to wear on me.

Audio Books: The God Delusion, Darkly Dreaming Dexter, and The Greatest Story Ever Sold.
Books: The 9/11 Commission Report Omissions and Distortions.

yes sir

Genghis Khan and the Making of the New World - the positive take

Finding Atlantis - concerning the life and story of Olof Rudbeck

Magnus - Sigmund Brouwer - Christian author, short, simple and sweet fiction novel about Old time wars and a fabled kingdom called Magnus.

Clive Cussler - take your pick, his fiction writing is top notch, and steadily releasing new novels.

Crappy Book:
Eragon - terrible writing, slow moving at times, and jumps all over with his "dragon abilities". Another "child wonder of the fantasy world" novel, without the flair and interesting read of Harry Potter.

The God Delusion was interesting read, but as a devout Christian i found some of his.. ideas and thoughts very loosely grounded, but that goes both ways i guess.
