When I was in high-school I read lots of Robert A. Heinlein. The stories were very “good guy versus bad guys”, with the help of a lady who was much smarter that the good guy and knew the real score. Great stuff and a collection of his was updated in 1980 to include new material [...]
Just Stupid
Same old, same old domestic spying case
“Court dismisses suit challenging domestic spying“. That was pretty obvious. The journalists and ACLU could not demonstrate that they were targeted. Today such lawsuits can’t prevail. Right now breaking the law is the rule. (But it’s okay, they are only targetting “bad guys” right?)
Dealing with pond algae
So Lily and I are at my mother-in-law’s house with the kids. It’s hot and the kids are watching cartoons. I’m hanging out with Lily’s nephew talking about the BlackBerry Pearl when I hear yelling from downstairs. Lily is on the phone getting upset with someone named “Jessica”. Jessica called and is insisting on speaking [...]
Back from a 5 day vacation this week
Every year Lily’s company nominates about 100 employees or so and sends them to a company paid vacation/off site meeting. These nominations are to reward them for outstanding achievements. The employees get to bring their significant others and this year Lily was selected to go. This is the second time Lily and I went and [...]
Just how stupid can companies (scratch that, people) be?
I should make a new category called “Just Really Really Really Stupid”. I Saw this on Digg, it’s apparently old. Google is your XP key friend. I’m not saying Google is bad, I’m saying that the company hosting this information is amazingly too stupid for words. “The Company (who’s name shall not be said here [...]
National Security Letter abuse
Remember it’s only an abuse of government power when other countries do it.
Webserver issue solved
I will not turn off “define(‘ENABLE_CACHE’, true);” again. I will not turn off “define(‘ENABLE_CACHE’, true);” again. I will not turn off “define(‘ENABLE_CACHE’, true);” again. Now I will repeat that 1000 times on the black board and never do that again.
Cartoon scare in Boston
Saw this image off of CNN’s web site for the two who pleaded not guilty for the Boston scare.
“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, please look at the defendants and try to tell me they are not…
Wow did I miss that one
Senator George Allen conceded to Jim Webb. The Democrats do get the Senate. The self-destruct that I was sure was going to happen did not happen at all.
I was watching Lou Dobbs and they had mentioned that the incumbent Democrats all got re-elected in the senate and the house. They did not lose ground at all, they just gained seats. Either the electorate are really unhappy or the Democrats 50-state strategy really worked. Probably a little of both (and some luck…
Vote early, vote often!
Voting is important and if you don’t vote but can, don’t complain. Today is election day and Lily and I voted before going to work this morning. Except for state comptroller it was a straight vote down the democratic ticket for me. Alan Hevesi really ticked me off with his attitude, enough that I voted [...]
