Stephen Green (a fellow Coloradan) over at VodkaPundit has been putting together his own video questions for tonight’s GOP/YouTube debate. They’re being posted over at PajamasMedia. My favorite so far: Would love to have seen some of these actually used in the debate. ..bruce..
Having lived in and around Washington DC for several years, I’m not a big fan of speed bumps, but…this is great: Hat tip to American Digest (one of the best-written blogs on the web). ..bruce..
CNet in the UK picked Vista as one of its ‘Top Ten Terrible Tech Products‘ — and the products on this list stretch back many years: Any operating system that provokes a campaign for its predecessor’s reintroduction deserves to be classed as terrible technology. Any operating system that quietly has a downgrade-to- previous-edition option introduced […]
I could spend a lot of time talking about all the things wrong with the BCS football system — the death of traditional bowls, the constant changes and tweaks to the ranking algorithm, and the usually arbitrary and frequently unfair (if not insane) bowl matchups — but let’s let a professional sportswriter take it on: […]
Freighters with sails — or, in this case, one very large sail that flies like a kite: A kite the size of a football field will provide most of the power for a German heavy freight ship set to launch in December. The Beluga shipping company that owns the 460-foot Beluga said it expects the […]

A significant portion of the traffic to this website comes from people searching for computer wallpaper (particularly involving winter, sunsets, and winter sunsets). To that end, I’ve created a separate page (see the page bar above) where I’m posting all the wallpaper versions of certain photographs I’ve shot. I’ve also started posting new wallpaper over […]
…why are you reading blogs? In the meantime, there’s snow on the ground, and we have grandchildren coming to Grandma’s house for Thanksgiving dinner (no river or woods involved, though). I’m doing most of the dinner, and it’s probably my most traditional one in recent years: homemade cornbread stuffing for the turkey, and I even […]
DC: the house of cards starts to crumble
I lived in Washington DC — yes, right in the District itself — for just under six years (1989-2005). To say that DC is bipolar and disfunctional doesn’t begin to capture the true weirdness of how the city runs (or fails to). This is a city with one of the highest per-student spending rates in […]
