Wes Clark’s letter about Iran is on DailyKos with commentary from bloggers. Definitely worth a read. This is the sort of leadership the United States needs right now. In other news, Mark Day is video podcasting his entertaining yet poignant monologues. Feed his RSS/URL string into your podcatcher (I use iTunes and Democracy Player) and […]
I love having our home filled with happy friendly people. We had another fabulous La Belle Compagnie meeting/workshop/gathering at our place and continued making progress on preparations for the spring reenactor show season. We’ll be going to Military Through the Ages (March 17-18, Jamestown, VA), and to Marching Through Time again (April 14-15, Marietta Manor […]
Wow, it’s been years since I was in Upstate New York during a snowstorm, but that is being changed right now. Mom has her RoadRunner broadband connection now (an amazing Wave Comm contractor came out in the middle of the blizzard and hooked up her connection, even had to climb the pole outside, though we […]
Erci was experimenting with Delicious Library on her MacBook laptop. Previously I felt that the built-in camera on MacBooks and iMacs was a silly and frivolous toy useful for very little. I have to revise that opinion now, because it turns out you can hold DVD, Book, and CD UPC bar-codes in front of the […]
The Virginia Political Blogosphere is all abuzz about the Democratic Party of Virginia and concerned citizens recording our legislature in session to record the votes and the shifty/sly political maneuvering of the Republicans in power right now. It would all be very funny except that this is our elected government trying to hide it’s business, […]
I gakked this meme from chargirlgenius (Thanks Char!) and like it, and for once it fits. I have had a crushing couple of days at work. Came back to oncall duty during two sub-system meltdowns, a protracted scheduled maintenance, and project installs galore. My poor phone battery keeps getting worn out with all the pages […]
Yikes! I nearly missed this one despite the best efforts of friends like Bruce and James (thanks guys). If you live in Prince William County, Occoquan District and are registered to vote, you are eligible to vote in a special election to fill the seat vacated by Corey Stewart (who is now a Chairman) as […]
Today was my first full day back at work, and it was grueling. My heros are co-workers Peter and Uwe who brilliantly covered the most critical projects while I was out and even managed to make progress on them. I was really tired after a day of work and another follow-up with the doctor. Turns […]
I am a gadget freak. I love technology, gadgets, audio and video toys. I am typically the first guy on the block with a new device. I’ve had PVRs since before there were Tivos. I had LaserVision and and flying-rease head VCRs when people were just getting VHS decks. I still have one of the […]
People have been pinging me about 2008 Presidential Contenders, and while I still think it is too early (we have a 2007 election here in Virginia to get through first), I have already spent a little time on this topic. Everything I said about Wesley Clark in October is still true today. I firmly believe […]
