The personal weblog of Marc Zeedar.
Author: Homer H. Hickam Jr. (book) and Lewis Colick
Director: Joe Johnston
This is one of those predictable but well-done films. A boy struggles to escape the drudgery of a coal-mining town by entering a science fair competition with his rocketry experiments. You know exactly what’s going to happen but the performances are so perfect (especially Chris Cooper as the father) that you fall for it away. Excellent.

I'm Marc Zeedar, writer and dreamer. I'm interested in writing, technology, programming, soccer, philosophy, engineering -- pretty much anything creative.
In college I was given an assignment to write a mini-biography. Rather than do the traditional, I wrote mine as a chronological list of the influential books in my life, explaining what they meant to me (both at the time and later). This turned out even better than I expected -- the saying "you are what you eat" really ought to be "you are what you read." So I decided to do that with my blog: it's a journal of what I'm reading, seeing, thinking, with the occasional unusual event thrown in. Feel free to add comments!
