[UPDATED AND REVISED 03/08/13 1423 MST] I completed Tomb Raider last night; while I did use walkthroughs for a few segments (without shame, I might add), I mostly did it on my own. Total playing time was a bit over 20 hours. Even though — as I note below — there are some aspects to […]
OK, so I was (and am still) dismayed by the outcome of the elections, and all that has happened during the two months since has done little to alleviate my concern. Given that plenty of other blogs continue to fight the political fight, I am taking a hiatus from that fight myself. Except, of course, […]
[Final version — flights are done and I’m on the ground in Florida] “All the most important mistakes are made on the first day.” – The Art of Systems Architecting (Maier & Rechtin) Project Orca was the Romney campaign’s technological effort to track in near-real-time actual voting in precincts all over the United States, with […]
No, no, no — just on a cruise. Or, more specifically, on the National Review 2012 Post-Election Cruise. Sandra and I went on the NR Cruise last year and had an absolutely wonderful time. This year, I suspect things will be a bit more pained, if determined. Maybe we’ll work to form a shadow cabinet, […]
Among the election post-mortems I’m reading this morning, I see a frequent refrain about how Mitt Romney wasn’t a strong or ideal candidate. My immediate question is: compared to whom?

Romney did not win big. He did not win at all. The GOP did not gain control of the Senate and may have lost ground. I was clearly wrong on what the American people wanted. At least 49% of them, in states that added up to an electoral college victory. I was worried after I […]
[Thanks to the links from Instapundit (Glenn Reynolds), Chaos Manor (Jerry Pournelle), and John C. Wright’s Journal (John C. Wright — what, you were expecting Karl Rove?). In fact, if you follow the link below to my 2008 post, you’ll see that I first read the poem over at Jerry Pournelle’s blog, Chaos Manor.] I posted this poem […]
I’m part of the Romney campaign’s “Project Orca“. As such, I am now a certified poll watcher and will be at my local polling location for 12 hours tomorrow, logging everyone who comes in to vote (I have a printout of all registered voters for my polling location) and then transmitting that information back to […]
Back before Joss drank the kool-aid. It’s 1:47 am MST. I’m in a hotel room in Ogden, Utah, with plans to drive back to Colorado in the morning with my sweet wife. I woke up a while ago and can’t get back to sleep, so here I am posting. Back in the 70s and 80s […]
