So, my web space is going to change. Significantly. I’m leaving the custom-code solution for a blogging package. Too much to maintain, and I don’t feel like adding the features I want. And my blog is ugly. So what software should I use on my site? WordPress? MovableType? […]
There is a great article in Wired today concerning The Pirate Bay:
The pirates have since moved the Bay’s hosting back to Sweden, where they’ve built technological bulwarks against another takedown, law-hardening the Bay’s network architecture with a system of redundant servers that spans three nations. Shutting down the site in any single country will only […]
Tonight has now been officially labeled: The Kaleidoscope Night.
If you think about looking through a kaleidoscope, you see distinct colors, but they have all be mashed together. It started simply enough. My friend and coworker Nakiesha is leaving DC and moving to ATL. She was the first person that I met at […]
Visual Basic for Applications hurts my head as programmer. WTF! Seriously, the API and pragmatics of the language are horrible. Why not, Java for Applications. I could do that. Even C or C++. But crappy Visual Basic? Jeebus. It’s going to be a long week. Stupid […]
What a shitty day. First, some non-work related things at work are pissing me off. Grrr. Then, I bike down to Whole Foods on my old Trek 930 mountain bike (note, not my new bike), and it gets swiped. It was locked with a brand new bad ass mother fucking lock. […]

… This is not the fifth day of the war. This is the 58th year of the effort by those who want to destroy Israel. As Ahmadinejad, the head of Iran, says, he wants to defeat the Americans and eliminate Israel from the face of the earth. So we […]
The Tour started yesterday with the Prolouge time trial. Today is just a regular road race. They are going about 27 mph. I took my new bike. I was on a nice bike path, a gradual uphill for the first 15 miles, mostly shaded. Then I turned around and went […]
Here’s a game to have some fun while boozing this holiday weekend. It’s called Cell Phone Roulette. Enjoy.
The Rules:
Three words, diseases, phrases, or celebrity names are chosen, each of which must be used in your call. The more obscure the terms, the more skill it takes to weave them into a somewhat lucid […]
I recently started reading one of Andrew Sullivan’s blogs. One of his posts today was spot on (an excerpt is below). I wish more people in our own country and those across the world would realize this.
The more vulnerable that Europeans feel, the more liable they are to shift blame across the Atlantic. […]
