I heed not that my earthly lot
Hath little of Earth in it,
That years of love have been forgot
In the hatred of a minute:
I mourn not that the desolate
Are happier, sweet, than I,
But that you sorrow for my fate
Who am a passer-by.
- Edgar Allan Poe

heick.family
One of my “major” projects was creating a “simple” family tree. Simple went a long way with words.
This was more of an exercise on both Learning Bootstrap and making sure all POST requests occur with JSON ala vanilla javascript.
Suffice to say it went very well. heick.family will now be my yearly $30 pain to my last-namesake on top of normal server costs.
(and no, greek has nothing to do with the family, as far as i’ve been able to find so far)

Being an avid Tekkie this snippet of The Offspring came across my random viewing plate and I felt the need to highlight it.

After getting my hands on a 1996 Sweet Home High School yearbook (courtesy of EBay seller quasimodo) I was able to get some names and start my journey to finding a 1996 Band Trip Video for the Disney Magic Music Days.
If memory serves me correctly the original Guidance Counselor that filmed this trip was John Daken:
I’ve also got the Wind Ensemble and Concert Band, a plethora of names of people to track down and figure out if they have a some copy of the original video.
So, my first goal is to get all these names into a Google Spreadsheet and scan social media and old address books and track everyone down.
Bon voyage à moi!
The Hunt for a 20 Year Old Video [6 Years Ago…]
Editors note: I wrote this back on 7 February 2015
The 1995-1996 school year I was a freshman at Sweet Home High School[a] and had participated in a trip to Walt Disney World to participate in a Band Performance with my peers (Disney Magic Music Days). This entire event, from the loading of the busses to the trip from Buffalo, New York to our destination and back had been recorded on an 8-hour EP video tape.
I had originally possessed this specific video tape as a teenager. Over the course of time, however, I had lost this amazing heirloom as I’m sure a lot of other have. I’m sure that there is a copy of this somewhere that I can acquire so I can digitize it and be able to enjoy it though the future times.
This iswas my tiny blog on my progress in locating this by working back 20 years in my brain.
