This MySpace video is especially for all you folks out there who don’t bother voting. Wow – there are other videos on that site too, but I like the Dog’s Apathy one the best. Thanks to drmontoya of RaisingKaine for this link!
Wow. Keith Olbermann says how we feel so well that I think this is the best 10 minutes of video I have seen in 6+ years! An absolute must-see. Update: Jeffrey Feldman has a transcript and analysis online now, so if you don’t have broadband, at least read the stranscript.
I just realized it has been way too long since I last updated my journal/web log. Sorry about that, it has been because life has been full and fun and keeping me away from the computers. The two weeks after we came back from Mike and Joan’s wedding in Las Vegas have been crazy-insanely busy […]
Penn and Teller had a fabulous show on Showtime a few years back where they tackled various urban myths or controversial subjects and put the facts up on their shows. Sort of like Mythbusters, but less focused on gadgets and free to use profanity and nudity because it aired on Showtime instead of open Cable. […]
Yesterday was a lot of fun. We started with the SGI-USA Fortune District discussion meeting at Maria’s house where we talked about compassion and embracing our neighbors, and we heard an experience from Maria. Jeff announced that the 2006 Annual Study Guide is available online, by order, and at the community center bookstore. Then many […]

RenaRF has a great story about Fear, Real Fear vs. Manufactured Fear […]
Thanks to Bruce for posting this where it could be lifted. Cute little flash story about how to make the best of bad stuff dumped on you: http://upchucky.net/~upchucky/flash-fun/farmer-donkey.swf Reminds me of the rejoined we young airmen used to the over used military phrase “Shit rolls downhill” (which was meant to imply that we junior people […]
Before you start that spam-bot, before you hire someone to put your advert-flyer under my windshield wiper, before you send misleading links to your gambling/porn/drug business to my web log, before you send me an instant message; please try to think this through. Just think for a second what you would do if you were […]
Thank goodness for Mike Bombich and CarbonCopyCloner (CCC) for Mac OSX. I use CCC and an external, firewire drive to routinely backup my machines and I am very grateful for that habit today. We had a 20 second power hit at work and my G5’s main drive crashed… hard. Unable to repair disk using Disk […]
