    Thoughts about 9/11


    Img_0751

    I was looking at a new studio space in the same place I already have a studio in Hoboken, when I looked out one of the window and saw the lights beaming up from the WTC site.  It caused me to think about things again.

    It's that time of year where we're (me, really) forced to face, not just the deaths that occurred that day, but what brought us to that point. Now that Bin Laden is dead, we can even relax a bit about it. The mad man who's anger drove him to warp his beliefs, and those of others, is gone, but now we can look at what truly made him sacrifice thousands at his alter of ego. If his goal was so noble, so divine, why did we find him 10 years later, living in a nice compound with his wives and aides, watching TV and eating good food, and not sacrificing himself in some act of terror? Why did he have to conscript disaffected, easily lead people to do his evil bidding?

    One thing that has always struck me was why go after the WTC buildings? Sure, they're tall, but you couldn't believe you could push them over, any engineer would have said as much. And the way the buildings did implode was almost exaclty how it would have fallen if you melted the internal structure. Was there another reason they would choose it? I keep thinking about the Robert Redford film 'Three Days Of The Condor' where the CIA was based in NYC there. Could these men have seen this movie and thought it was real? Or even possible?

    I'm a Macintosh Trainer. I've done a lot of jobs, but this is a career-path have found and I love it. I work for G-Wiz Consulting and I've been there since I left Apple in May of 2009. I was a Creative at Apple, training customers and some staff. I'd been with Apple for almost 5 years. Right now, I train clients, analyze their needs for computers and networks. And I install and setup systems and networks for clients. I also design Bento databases and do some web design (Dreamweaver and Joomla).

    By training, I'm a sculptor. I work currently in steel and marble. But I've also worked in other medias like clay, bronze and found objects. I also do some water color painting and photography.
