How bizarre is it that the only places I am reading about Congressman Kucinich introducing 35 articles of impeachment to congress last night are on blogs like BoingBoing and LiberalRage? I thought perhaps I’d simply missed this important news on the many news sites I scan daily… So I rechecked NY Times, CNN, LA Times, […]
Reminder if you live in Virginia, go vote tomorrow! Here is my non-partisan, unbiased page (there is only one of those – normally I rant and/or rave a lot): https://blog.scottnolan.org/virginia-congressional-primary-june-10th/ The 8th, 10th, and 11th congressional districts all have bipartisan primary elections. In Virginia, you are not registered with any party, so any registered voter […]
Original, beautiful, riveting. You want to see this work of art on the big screen. Many thanks to shalmestere for tipping us off to the existence of the film. We made a night of it with Curry n Kabob (Indian) food, Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, and then two hours of sitting in air-conditioned theatre […]
Both cats are sleeping, I am trying to cool down from a grueling hot bike ride up Bull Run Mountain and back down. If you are outside for long, be sure to drink plenty of water and wear sunblock.
Thank you Shalmestere, for pointing out “The Fall” which looks like it will be fantastic. I need to drag Erci out for a change of pace anyway. http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/thefall/ Official Movie Site It is playing in Reston!
Katchmark came out and gave an estimate to fix the roof leak. At least it is going to get fixed in the next week or two, but it is not cheap. Broken pool baskets replaced too, yippea! Pool Boys (the company) rocks.
Many thanks to John Gruber and his friend Nat for posting a suggestion on how to fix the nasty bug that crashes OS X when using Time Machine to a Time Capsule to back up your Mac. I used Airport Utility to enable File Sharing under the Disks menu. Then Disk Utility to “repair” the […]
Nice gentleman from A&E repair came out and fixed the dishwasher this morning. It turns out that the Fisher&Paykel DishDrawers do not use a water level sensor, but they measure drag on the impeller to know if enough water is in the drawer to start the wash cycle. Our impeller was busted, spun too easily, […]
Worldgate area in Herndon, VA just got hammered with driving rain and 40-50 knot winds. Visibility is severely restricted (as seen from the 7th floor windows at work) and it looks like traffic on the toll road (VA-267) is stopped for lack of visibility. Get your flashlights and unplug your computers – power is fluctuating […]
I am trying to think of ways to heal the rift between Clinton supporters and Obama supporters, because the most important thing is to defeat John McCain in November. I started this election (years ago) liking first General Wesley Clark, then Senator John Edwards once Clark endorsed Hillary Clinton. When John Edwards dropped out (just […]
