All About Money, Not Justice

Author: , March 27th, 2012

Justice? How can we have justice via trial-by-media and without all of the facts? In the USA, we are supposed to be “innocent until proven guilty”. The family displays just more pathetic posturing and appears to be looking to make money from the shooting already: “Monday, an attorney for Martin’s mother confirmed that she filed […]

Author: , March 19th, 2012

Our new iPad was delivered right on schedule this past Friday. The screen is so crisp and beautiful it is astonishing. A side-by-side comparison between the iPad2 and the new iPad shows a vast difference in image quality. Rendering speed is very fast, and all actions and applications seem more responsive.

The Fast Lane

Author: , December 11th, 2011

Change Is In The Air

Author: , November 20th, 2011

For decades I have dreamed of real, lasting, non-violent positive change, only to watch our country and the world at large appear to come apart at the seams these past years.

Comcast Woes

Author: , November 14th, 2011

At 12:30pm today my Comcast cable internet connection decided to die. Or, more accurately, the Comcast servers decided my service was no longer valid because they lost the serial number to my modem. So, instead of running my business as usual, all TCP traffic is blocked! A long call to tech support failed to resolve […]

Scary AWS Moment

Author: , November 7th, 2011
