The real inconveneient truth.. it’s the sun, stupid

Google Office

Thursday, February 8th, 2007

For some time I’ve been using various Google services especially the calendar and documents for some light project management duties. As my father retired I had even considered setting him up with Google for his domain rather than hooking him into either desktop apps or my company’s own groupware but something about using Google’s office […]

Star Trek Inspirational Posters

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

As a long time fan of Despair’s Demotivators to find a set of Star Trek Inspirational Posters along the same line is pure genius.

.243″ Pistol for Deer?

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

Sometime in the last several years Indiana has made the .243 diameter bullet acceptable and reference to maximum case length seems to have disappeared as well. At the same time the rules proposed for this year to allow pistol cartridge rifles for deer still reflects the old numbers I’m familiar with, minumum .357 diameter and […]

Let it snow… let it snow… let it snow

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

Besides the amusement of listening to the radio weather incrementally increasing the forecasted amount of snow today I have to believe I made a wise choice to work at home when the 2pm traffic report on WIBC starts with “there are too many to list them all so here are the worst ones” and then […]

Boston

Finally a more appropriate response to the Turner advertising gimmick in Boston: View From The Porch: MISSING: One spine. If found, please return to city of Boston.

Bright lights reported over Midwest skies

Monday, February 5th, 2007

The International Space Station had to be moved out of the debris path created by the Chinese anti-satellite weapons test but no one knows what is burning up like meteors over the midwest. I guess its more news worthy playing it off as “unknown”.

Colts Tame Bears

Sunday, February 4th, 2007

To say I’m not a sports fan is something of an understatement. But when your team makes it this far even I watched most of the Super Bowl where everyone knows by now the Colts Tamed Bears 29-17. I even remembered a little of what Coach Johnson tried so hard to teach me […]

Minn. Farmer Charged After Chasing Thief

Friday, February 2nd, 2007

A 74 year old farmer catches a guy stealing gas, chases him down and holds him at gun point for the police. Guess who’s up on felony charges? The thief? No.. the farmer. The story goes on to attempt to elicit sympathy for the thief, his significant other and child in the fleeing vehicle because […]

Punxsutawney Phil Predicts Early Spring

Friday, February 2nd, 2007

Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow which according to lore means an early spring rather than 6 more weeks of winter. It’s Feb 2nd… the difference between 4 and 6 weeks of more winter isn’t much. Though just to be on the safe side I’ll start prepping the motorcycle for the […]

‘Wave of hatred’

Friday, February 2nd, 2007

As attacks on Jews in Britain hits a record high I find it curious that Mohammad Naseem, chairman of Birmingham’s Central Mosque should refer to Britain as a “police state”. I think Her Naseem is only mad because the law in Britain prevents them from implementing Sharia sooner so they can kill all the […]

A new project from David Horowitz Terrorism Awareness Project. If nothing else check out the Islamic Mein Kampf video. And don’t forget Front Page Magazine.

Venezuela: “Socialism is democracy!”

Thursday, February 1st, 2007

There seems something vaguely familiar about how things are working out for Chavez getting the powers he’s being granted…
Oh yea, Adolf Hitler in the 1930’s.

Pelosi Wants Cart Blanc Military Chaffauring

Thursday, February 1st, 2007

If you find the duplicity of the left amusing then I suggest you hang onto your funny bone and read Speaker pursues military flights at the Washington Times. If the duplicity of the left causes increased blood pressure I’d advise you to not read it.
I really need an “Irony” category.
