demand debate


I know I have been relatively silent of late, but if you get the chance, definitely visit the DemandDebate webpage. What is this interestingly-named site concerned with? Well, as taken from their front page:

Educating and empowering students and parents to eliminate bias in environmental education.

If there is one …

well that is just too convenient

Lately, I admit that the Drudge Report has been pretty much my primary source of news. Sure, I check out the Clinton News Network occasionally, as well as Fox and the BBC, but, more often than not, I go back to Drudge to see what all is going on …

a thousand it’s and a thousand keyboards

One of the great beauties to arise out of the advent of the modern internet is the ease with which information can be shared and transmitted among people from massively different backgrounds, locations, and expertises. Just about anyone can learn aabout just about anything he could ever want to, if …

a shot in the eye

If you were ever wondering, when you happen to leave your contact lens case at the office (like I did yesterday), a pair of shot glasses work just as well in a pinch. Well, maybe not just as well, considering you cannot exactly carry them around with you easily, but …

a question for the masses

Why is Hillary Clinton so fixated on the fact that she is a woman? I mean, yes, she is female (at least in some sense of the word) – that is certainly unavoidable. But she keeps using it as leverage, again and again… almost as a plank in her drive …

up, up, and away

One of the few things I have always been looking forward to when I get older is the ability to purchase and use a powered wheelchair and not get any funny looks. Hell, I would even settle with a Segway (saw a reasonably old guy toodling around a farmer’s market …

coupon upgrades

About this time next year, I figure I will be looking for a new computer. My old Sony is about five years behind the curve at the moment, and I have upgraded it as far as it can go, what with a new video card, more memory, a USB 2.0 …

I hiked/drove all over sokal

So what did you do this weekend?

round about

So what is the deal with the pictures from earlier this morning? Well, first, a little background on how I got where those pictures were taken.
I woke up yesterday morning, and came to the conclusion that I simply did not want to be stuck in my apartment staring …

exploratory pictures

There is not a lot to be said for Kalifornistan, but some of its photo opportunities are nice. Explanations later today. And, yes, I like black-and-white and sepia. Deal with it.

how wars are lost

Assuming the existance of a time machine, go back and ask every major military thinker, from Sun Tzu to Hannibal to Napoleon to Von Clausewitz to Grant to Caesar to Yamamoto to Mahan to Fuller to God alone knows how many others there are, what make up some of the …

ashop commerce – a review

One of the many ways to make money with your weblog is to develop a product line that people are interested in, and sell it to them. Unfortunately, most web hosters do not provide simple, easy-to-use methods by which weblog administrators can set up their own shopping carts and purcashing …

a beginning

Who knows, this might turn into something. Update: Added/changed a few things.

With bullets repeatedly slamming into the other side of the crate he was hiding behind, Jonah realized he was not having the best of days.
“Ni ta ma de! Tianxia suoyoude ren. Dou gaisi! Would you go

breaking atmo

Go. Watch this video.
NOW.
Now that is out of the way, I have to admit, for being an amateur spliced-together film, that is just all manner of shiny. And do not even get me started on how awesome it is that Firefly and Serenity made it into …

time for a little perspective

Something to think about while the Democrats hold their 24-hour publicity stunt this evening:

Borrowed from Military Motivator.

send in the gnomes

You know, as a child, I was never particularly enomoured with the whole garden-gnome thing. To me, they looked far too much like lawn defensive equipment, not lawn decorations, what with the whole pointy hat and everything.
That said, I have to admit that a solar-powered garden gnome is all …

talk about a misnomer

“Right now, I could kill George Bush,” she said. “No, I don’t mean that. How could you nonviolently kill somebody? I would love to be able to do that.” As she made her point, she chuckled and some members of the audience laughed.

Pop quiz time. Who spoke those words? …

no bias here

So the liberals are constantly decrying how there is never any bias in any newsbroadcast anywhere… Any time anyone tries to level a charge of bias against a media source (other than Fox News, of course), that person is immediately shot down, trampled upon, and ground into the dust, despite …

sparkly!

No, not “shiny”, “sparkly” – there is a reason. As with all of the gun shows I have attended in the past, I, unfortunately, walked out without purchasing a single firearm. Though, I have to admit, the “gun” shows here in Kalifornistan are remarkably different from the gun shows I …
