One art form I enjoy almost above all others is that of the live theater. I find particular joy in watching those talented thespians bring to life the words of playwrights past and present. A good piece of theater can bring you to the edge of your seat, make you laugh so hard you cry, give you goosebumps and also great joy. Even more than that, however, it can open your eyes to something you might not have thought about […]

Whether you’re a “gamer” or not, you have no doubt heard of the “Call of Duty” gaming franchise. These are those games that have more release hype and anticipation than even the biggest summer blockbuster. What you may not know, however, is that recently a former Panamanian dictator sued the company that makes this game for using his likeness and “defiling” his character. Now, this dictator has retired so I understand that living on a fixed income can be difficult. […]

Nathan Norton is a tech-guy extraordinaire. One of the quietest among MPA employees (we’re a pretty boisterous bunch over here), I wanted to get to know him a bit better. So, I asked him to star in this month’s Q&A, and he graciously agreed. 1) How long have you been with MPA? I have been employed with MPA since March of 2013, so a little over a year now. 2) What is your role here? Information Technology and Tech Support. Just about […]

It’s nearly impossible to find an image on the theme of “event horizon” on Google that isn’t somehow related to the incredibly scary 90’s movie. I wanted such a pic to represent the unattainable goal of knowing everything there is to know about programming. The more I learn, the more I learn how much more there is to learn. Kind of like life in general, I suppose. Philosophical opining aside, we do have a tidy little goal before us now. Up […]
