Thanksgiving went well. Erica’s and my parents were both in town, so we had a lot of people to cram into our apartment, but we managed. Brined and roasted a turkey, which turned out quite well. Made wild rice and apricot dressing, which also turned out well. The cranberry sauce with […]
Tom Tomorrow’s comments on the Eli Lilly provisions in the Homeland Security bill do a pretty good job of summing up the situation.
Bottom line; doesn’t this seem just a little sleazy?
If you were a cool kid you’d ask santa for urban action figures.
Judging from these portfolios you’d think everyone in Scandinavia knows Flash and does design work for a living. Hm, maybe they do…
Anyways, I like this one.
A tool called Net Snippets allows you to copy web pages, or merely clippings from them, and add comments, keyword, remarks, etc. and then file then like bookmarks. This is what bookmarks should have been from the beginning!
Seriously, we have massive amounts of hard disk space, its not like we can’t quickly spider a […]
Doug Bandow at the Cato Institute presents a very rational and reasonable article on why Bush’s agresiveness towards Iraq should be opposed. [via Tom Tomorrow and Joe Conason]
So I have a Compaq iPaq which I never use. The biggest problem for me is that its just not very portable. So I really like the looks of this new Zaurus and this two-piece combo. In the mean time, I really wish I could afford a Danger HipTop.
No matter what the […]
It looks like an appeals court has overturned the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court’s opinion theat the Patriot Act violated the 4th amendment.

Even worse, the dialog added to the film was terrible. The whole theater cracked-up on lines like “Oh, I will be!”. […]
So I just reinstalled Gentoo and finally got Straw to build. I’m impressed so far. Does an excellent job of finding feeds from URLs (RSS autodetection), clean UI, easy to get working and configure. I can think of two things I still need though… Drag’n drop subscription from the browser (drag a […]
Looks like the Reublicans managed to squeek past the Democrats again. I’m afraid the next two years are going to be very painful to watch. Hopefully the Republicans won’t become the rubber-stamp brigade, but I’m not getting my hopes up. I just hope they don’t start going on about “revolutions” and “mandates” […]
Normaly I’m a pretty big gadget freak. Normally I disagree with Glenn Reynolds (aka InstaPundit). But this article is right on. Also note a similar Salon article.
I have now ordered pizza online a total of three times. Every time I do I feel like a complete geek. Yet, there is something strangely intriguing about the act itself. Normally when I purchase things (from Amazon for example) they appear at my doorstop a few days later. There is […]
