Spike and Fluffy off the Menu in Hawaii?
Tuesday, February 22nd, 2005First and foremost I find it quite distasteful that anyone would eat Spike or Fluffy to begin with. But then I really dislike squirrel, too. But that doesn’t mean that such a proposal doesn’t have serious ramifications to everyone no matter your dining preferences. As sick as my western mind thinks this cultural difference is… [...]
WordPress Update
Monday, February 21st, 2005I’ve upgraded to the new 1.5 version of WordPress. But I couldn’t hold out long enough to get my theme ported over so you’re all stuck with the default ‘Kubrick’ theme for awhile, maybe a week or two. Unlike the earlier WP templates, though, this isn’t such a bad default theme. That is as long [...]
The Rifle
Monday, February 21st, 2005Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons. The possession of a good rifle, as well as the skill to use it well, truly makes a man the monarch of all he surveys. — Jeff Cooper, The Art of the Rifle
Tungsten bullets cause cancer in wounds
Friday, February 18th, 2005There have been those who have tried to get lead banned as a back door to gun control. In some places and some hunting sports lead shot cannot be used but bismoth. So it is important to realize that sometimes the replacement is worse than the original when it comes to such things.
Fixing the System?
Friday, February 18th, 2005I am all for tort reform and ‘fixing the system’ but there are other issues that I feel are more weighty and that is States rights under a weak Federal Umbrella. That is why I’m dubious of President Bush’s reform law since the main thing it appears to accomplish is taking judicial power away from [...]
Circuit City
Wednesday, February 16th, 2005Though I’m sure it’s coincidental it is curious to see the recent 3 news stories concerning Circuit City: 1.) Investment firm offers to pay $3.25 billion for Circuit City, 2) Closing 19 Stores and , 3) 8 Die in Plane Crash.
Rovers Live – Is ‘The Village’ Far Behind?
Monday, February 14th, 2005I cannot read this article on a robotic ball without thinking of the rovers that retrieved escapees from ‘the village’ in the 1967-68 TV show ‘The Prisoner’.
Broadband ‘Redlining’
Friday, February 11th, 2005I’ve been around the industry for a few years yet I’ve never heard the term ‘redlining’ used in this way. That aside the notion that it is inherently wrong to deploy the newest broadband technologies in neighborhoods that can afford to buy the services is beyond absurd. I cannot help but read this article and [...]
Waist Sizing
Friday, February 11th, 2005The Big Brown Truck brought me some new toys today, leather and reloading tools for the .45 Colt. But my happiness was a bit dimmed when I wrapped the new belt around my waist. Hm.. just a bit short. Back to the website I go to check that the ‘medium’ was really what I needed [...]
