  • Techie Details

    If you are like me and are glued (simultaneously) to CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, MSNBC, Fox News, then you’ll love some of these sites. Every technical details. Worst part though is the next time, a reporter says, we are watching that tank, you’ll grimace and say that ain’t no tank, that dope, doesn’t he know thats…

  • Project for the New American Century (PNAC)

    Welcome to the Project for the New American Century. To me a frightening name for a project. Apparently, this is where the intellectual “muscle” and theory is for the Bush administration. Interesting if a little terrifying to read. They have it all figured out though. Good someone does.

  • Malloy is a god

    Free-Return: Why Free-Return?. Bill Malloy is an amazing guy. Just started a blog for him. I’m sure he’ll say some interesting and irreverent things. Here’s his inaugural post. I’ve only known him for a year or so, but it seems like a lifetime of stories already.

  • Military Driver License in Washington

    The internet is an amazing place. I somehow got a hit from someone in the US Air Force who is shipping out soon. His Washington license is expired and he asked me of all folks what to do. Nice to be a geek and help someone who is really in the nation’s service. BTW, if…

  • America to European Comparison

    American vs. European Compairson If you ignore the tone of the piece and just look at the statistics, they sure are interesting. Birthrate differences, productivity, spending difference between the USA and the EU are pretty striking. Here’s a Harpers Index view of the article where he makes four points:

  • Spaming blog comments

    How depressing. Can you believe that someone has written a program to do this. I’m getting consistent spam comments now. Too bad. Another thing spoiled by spam.
