Star Wars Rebel Alliance Facebook cover

Facebook Cover featuring scenes from  Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

Another creation based on the game Star Wars Commander, sampled from the loading screen on Facebook.

This one features  Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia,, the heroes of the rebel alliance. This one isn't branded distinctly to the game, and I took time to carefully remove Darth Vader.

It also has a distinct vibe from The Empire Strikes Back with the battle on the icy planet of Hoth.

Star Wars Commander Facebook Cover Photo

Star Wars Commander, for those who favor the Imperial Empire.

I grew up on Star Wars, seeing it at the drive-in movies in 1977.

Lately, I've been playing Star Wars Commander on Facebook and really enjoying it. It's a Clash of Clans style castle building game complete with Guild wars.

Also, you have to join the Empire or the Rebel Alliance, so there is a good versus evil vibe as well.

This cover is the first of two I've created from screen captures of the loading screen. Featuring Darth Vader, you're probably liking this one if you're part of the Imperial Empire.

Celebrate Thomas Edison's birthday with this Facebook quote cover

Thomas Edison Facebook Cover

One of my personal heroes is Thomas Edison, the inventor from New Jersey with over 1000 patents in his name. He founded General Electric as well as a utility company, Metropolitan Edison, for whom I used to work.

The lightbulb was just the most famous of his inventions, but today our lives would be radically different if not for Thomas Edison. His work with electricity, batteries, lightbulbs, film projectors, the phonograph and even basic switches that would later become early computers, Edison's ability to constantly innovate and create was remarkable.

If each of us tried just a little harder to stretch our capabilities, imagine our world.

Thomas Edison was born February 11, 1847, and today would be his 170th birthday.

April Showers Bring May Flowers

You've heard the saying "April showers bring May flowers."  I'm not sure about you, but I am ready for the inviting colors and scents of Spring. We've endured a hard winter with nothing to see but white snow and brown landscaping. This picture shows the true beauty warm temperatures can bring. Although we may still have chilly nights, the cold is finally breaking and flower buds are starting to rise towards the morning sun. Enjoy spring my friends!

Pi Day is Here 3/14

Few days bring out the geeks like March 14, Pi Day. However, the beauty of mathematics is that it's everywhere, all around us.

Here's a terrific visualization created by connecting thousands of points around the circle,  shifting the color based on mathematical calculation.

Now you can celebrate on your Facebook page.

Pi Day (3.14) is a favorite among nerds… At least until May the 4th.
