Bush, Bullshit, Grammar, Ads, Used Computers, Sina, and Gorillaz

First, we have Matt Deatherage’s blog post about Bush’s service record. Originally CBS was accused of forging the documents. Only, well, they weren’t forged. I don’t want to steal Matt’s blogging efforts, so go here to read it. I am never above a shot at Bush either so here’s a quick (old) joke before I […]

UC Berkeley Makes War On Religious Zealots

This article is so beautiful I want to cry. As a card-carrying, lifetime member of the University of California Berkeley Alumni Association, I may have never been so proud of my school. UC Berkeley has decided that you actually have to meet certain criteria to enter our hallowed institution and some schools seem to object. […]

Chronicles of Narnia: Lion Witch Wardrobe

Symantec Lets Users Down. Collusion With Sony? Another reason to own a Mac.

I’m sure you’ve all heard about Sony’s rootkit CD protection scheme that silently loaded itself onto every PC on which one of its CDs was played and how it recently backfired quite literally. It’s been all over the news, and is, I might add, another reason you shouldn’t be using a Windows based PC. However, […]

Your Printouts Identify You

My picture for use on your dartboard

Earlier this year the NHL Florida Panthers Hockey Club contacted me and other inaugural season ticket holders about using our photos for promotional purposes. This is the Panthers 12th season and there aren’t that many season ticket holders left from the 1992-1993 season. Indeed, I am one of the oldest remaining season ticket holders of […]
