More fallout from the Sony/Columbia/Epic/BMG XCP rootkit exlpoit is detailed on Wired (first time I’ve read Wired in a while). Yikes, the after-effects of such a stupid corporate blunder, compounded by so many people running their MS Windows systems effectively wide open (no security to speak of), are turning out to be huge. Hopefully there […]
Erci went ahead and ordered a Prius, she has details at In my Field of Paper Flowers. She chose red, which we expect to be a bit darker than the one in this picture:
So it is nearly a week since the election and I am still thrilled to have taken an active role in it. The hours of work, the challenge of doing things I never thought I’d like doing, and the pain in the wallet of political contributions are all worth it! In exchange you get to […]
I continue to wrack up a debt to my good friend Anthony who added more graphical elements and design suggestions for me. My niece, Christina, is now publishing poetry and blogging via blogger – she’s doing it anonymously for the moment. It has been a really nice visit with my Mom, her beau Ralph, and […]
Barry Ritholtz has a very interesting write up on why financial markets like coalition governments so much over at The Big Picture, it makes an interesting read if you are into relationships between capitol markets and politics.
Decided to revise the blogger template for a prettier design taken from Point of Focus. I am curious what various readers think of it. I know – the comments stopped working (update: they work on new posts, but not old ones), I have to figure out why. My good friend Anthony helped me out by […]
It has been a fabulous experience working so hard on the Bruce Roemmelt campaign for the past 6 months. My only regret is that I did not discover Bruce’s candidacy earlier and work that much more. We got close, very close for a first time challenger running against a 13 year incumbent in a district […]
Last night Erci took me to see Cavalia which is playing for one more week next to Pentagon City Mall. It is a magical combination of horses (a lot of stallions), horsemanship, dressage, trapeze, gymnastics, tumbling, art, fantasy, and hauntingly beautiful music. It is perhaps not quite as impressive as many of the Cirque du […]
Words cannot adequately display how disgusted I am with Virginia Delegates Bob Marshall and Dick Black. I just saw a commercial on Newschannel8 paid for by the Delegate Black campaign where he took credit for road improvements that he voted against. This is exactly the same pattern the Delegate Marshall campaign has taken; taking credit […]
There is an interesting new story about Sony’s new DRM online, and it illustrates another of the many deceptions the big media companies use to skew perception. Just like piracy had nothing to do with the RIAA’s fear of digital audio tape (they were really afraid musicians would be able to create their own masters […]
