Over the years, my parents raised me with a healthy respect for and suspicion of polls, statistics, and other such number-crunching exercises. They can be remarkably powerful when applied properly, but all it takes is an erroneous process, or a dishonest operator, and the same set of numbers can yield … [...] Since my father was in the military, we tended to move around a fair bit during his time in service, and only a little less after he retired. The longest we ever spent in one place was about seven years (after his retirement, though), and the shortest was either two … [...] Heard at dinner tonight:
The really funny part? Person 2 was a female. It is good to know that some girls out there still have appreciation for the simple things … [...] Well, they always say that one of the surefire ways to make weblog fail is to not post on a daily basis. [...] You know, I really might be nitpicking and overthinking this entire situtation, but I have been watching a few episodes of Battlestar Galactica (the new series) recently, and reached an odd conclusion. [...] As I am sure you all are aware at this point, I recently came into possession of my very own M1A SOCOM II. I have been wanting a rifle for a while now, and this rifle in specific for not much shorter, so it is kind of nice to … [...] … because I will definitely need some stuff to read when I get back. Need to catch up on the happenings of the world, and all that. [...] I still remember September 11, 2001. [...] Hey, look, a post! Someone catch it before it runs off! [...] … but give me a ping anywise and let me know what you are up to. [...] Just when my weblog is experiencing another upswing of readership (thanks to the kind linkage at Snowflakes in Hell this time around), I go and disappear on you all again. This time it is going to be for a few weeks, and while I may be able to post something … [...] I do a fair bit of driving in and around San Diego, and while it is quite often a challenge to do so without being run over by some crazed lunatic on the road (more often than not, with Mexico tags), I do tend to notice stupid little things at … [...] At about 1220 yesterday afternoon, someone referred here by the Technorati Reactions page for Ride Fast and Shoot Straight became my 15,000th visitor. In fact, I am fairly certain it was Ride Fast himself. Well, I think that warrants a “Congratulations” for me, a “Shiny” for him, and a “Spread … [...] Ok, my “studio” sucks (considering it is little more than my bookshelves covered with a white sheet, it is no wonder), my lighting is atrocious (various fluorescent and incandescent lights, casting shades I would hesitate to call “white”), and I am not Oleg Volk (much to my detriment). That said, … [...] I have no love for the ACLU. Given that I love America, enjoy our rights and freedoms, and have no joy over a nanny state, that should go without saying. I would expound upon this lack of love more often, but another site does a damned good job of that … [...] My armory just got a little bigger. [...] Nepalese aerospace engineers recently stumbled across a yet-unknown advance in aircraft technology. It turns out that goat entrails make damned good substitutes for electrical wiring in a 757. [...] In case you all have not noticed, I have been doing some spring cleaning to the blogroll to the right. However, despite that cleaning, a few of the links seem to have been getting jiggy with each other, and I now have more links than I started with. Explanations follow.… [...] Yeah, so have I. And unsurprisingly predictably enough for me, I have something to show you: [...] |
