My dog is Passive-Aggressive
Monday, November 29th, 2010Sophie certainly has the brawn in the family and though she’s as loyal as a dog can be considering the language barrier and all – she’s not a schemer. If Sophie wants something she simply takes it, damn the torpedoes. Ginger is another story. This girl is a schemer sometimes too smart for her own [...]
Passenger Hauled Off Plane For Too Many Bathroom Breaks
Wednesday, November 24th, 2010I have flown with food poisoning and know what a nightmare that can be. I cannot imagine how much worse it would have been (the whole trip having already been my worse airline experience ever) if my frequent trips to puke had gotten me pulled off the plane for suspicious behavior. It would have served [...]
Jawbone ICON
Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010So my Jabra BT8040 is aging and has most certainly earned it’s keep. But the bud is starting to loosen and cause problems so tonight I grabbed a Jawbone ICON “The Hero” on the way home. The choice was hard and my choice was almost a Jabra BT530 which is essentially the update from the [...]
Not news to many…
Monday, November 22nd, 2010Algore has actually admitted that U.S. corn ethanol was not a good policy… not only because the energy required in the process but also because it had driven food costs way up. So what ever the “next big thing” is that Al is pushing, keep this in mind.
Saudi King Abdullah Seeks Medical Treatment in US
Monday, November 22nd, 2010Yup, our health care system is SOOOO bad that the Saudi King Abdullah comes here for medical treatment.. obviously money is no object so he must be here for what reason? Maybe because for all it’s detractors it’s still the best system on the planet….
GoogleTV Repercussions for non-GoogleTV users.
Wednesday, November 10th, 2010So CBS and a few others have made the stupid decision to block their stuff from users of Google TV. Thing is, Google TV is basically a Linux appliance running the Chrome browser and Flash player. Not exactly a lot of differentiation from my primary Mandriva desktop which CBS blocks me from watching their shows [...]
TSA
Wednesday, November 10th, 2010I objected to the formation of the TSA “back in the day” since federalizing the same airline security personnel that allowed hijackers on airplanes isn’t the answer to anything at all. But we “had” to protect the airlines, right? But now that TSA is groping people to intentionally foster submission of the flying masses maybe [...]
Haynes USS Enterprise Workshop Manual
Sunday, November 7th, 2010I’m very excited by the new Haynes Enterprise Owner’s Workshop Manual as now I can stop winging it! Not to mention stop getting soaked by those exorbitant diagnostic rates at the local Starship Zone parts store.
True Grit
Sunday, November 7th, 2010I’m seldom keen on remakes of the Duke’s masters but I have to admit after viewing the trailer I’m enticed.
