Welcome to my little corner of the Internet.
For anyone still wondering how the U.S. got into the economic mess it is now entangled in, this entry is for you. Here is a hint, as put by Alan Pisarski in this Washington Post article. “You keep doing what you’re doing, and you just keep assuming that growth is going to go on forever. And then at some point …
With talk of a bailout of GM (General Motors) looming, I figured I had to make some kind of comment. In the past, I have commented several times in this blog about the poor management decisions of GM and other automakers. I noted that just about any person off the street would have seen the trends coming that have put …
Yes my friends, the time has come to be vigilant for low flying pigs. Why you ask? Well listen closely… very closely.. cause I’m only going to say this once. Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer said something that I actually agree with. Gasp! Ekk! Did I really just say that? Now, in case you haven’t been following along, it is really no …
That is the question I have to ask of all the media hype over this new trojan horse type attack on OSX the last couple days. http://wiredblogs.tripod.com/cultofmac/index.blog?entry_id=1415489 (link removed – article no longer available) I wrote a response to this article as follows: From article: “One more thing: there was talk a while back that Apple’s move to Intel chips …
Just a quick update. Trixie spent a couple weeks in the shop getting all dried out, carpets cleaned, and enzyme treatments applied. I also changed all the fluids (transmission, differential, oil and filter, coolant, etc.) All seems fine now. Yay! It is great to have Trixie back, and we’re looking forward to more adventures. This summer, she might get to …
First, we hear that GM is having problems and cutting back. Now, about a month later, we hear the same or worse news from Ford. Huge cuts and changes affecting tens to hundreds of thousands of employees. I feel very bad for these folks. While in my field, IS/IT, jobs can be had just about anywhere, the same is not …
Well Christmas and the Holiday season were going nicely this year… busy but I got some actual time off and I was really enjoying that. I’m certainly behind in my posting and editing the Intelligent Design article I had planned. But, 2005 went out in a bit of a wild way here in the Bay area. We got rain… lots …
There has been a lot of debate recently on ‘science’ vs. Intelligent Design. I’ve been following all this quite a bit as both an ‘amateur scientist’ and ‘amateur theologian’. I wrote this essay for a class, so I thought I would throw it up here. I’m also preparing a more in-depth technical analysis that is still on the editorial table… …
AP writer Liz Austin reports on Thursday that Sony is being sued by the Texas Attorney General and a California-based digital rights group over their latest botch of an attempt at DRM (Digital Rights Management). I’m laughing by butt off on this one, but it is not because I’m some music stealing kid going, “Score another win for the pirates …
Thought I’d do a quick post to fill in a few details I missed on part one. We really had a lot of fun in the Vancouver area. The suspension bridge and forest hiking was at the Capilano Suspension Bridge. It was a cool place, but a bit pricey. I suppose I would recommend it to first time visitors, however …
