imitation and flattery

So Google supposedly has launched its own smartphone, the Nexus One, and it is, of course, running Google’s Android operating system.
Wait a second… Android… Nexus… That seems vaguely familiar.
Oh right. Whoops.…

every man has his price

JayG seems to have found a remarkably lucrative business model for his weblog: say a few honest things about a company’s products, and that company sends him well over $500 in random products (for further “testing”, I would imagine).
Well, hell, you cannot beat that. Unfortunately, it is probably not …

the hands go ’round and ’round

I guess you could say that I have always been something of an engineer, whether I had the documentation to support that claim or not. As a child, I was fascinated with anything that had gears, motors, and electronics, which naturally resulted in me eventually being fascinated with watches. Unfortunately, …

random observation

Why is it that Ron Paul stickers are almost invariably found on the crappiest of cars?…

who would have guessed?

After having spent the better part of five years in Atlanta, and nearly 90% of that without a car of my own, I can personally bear witness to the interesting and colorful cross-section of Atlanta residents who regularly ride MARTA – the mass-transit subway system running under and over the …

*Sigh*

Doug, what are you thinking?
For those that can’t see the video, Doug Jackson is proposing new restaurant carry legislation with a totally stupid provision. You can carry anywhere that serves alcohol, but not places that just serve beer. A violation would mean fines, 48hrs in jail, and loss …

just a little quibble

Yes, yes I am, thankyouverymuch.…

god’s way of remaining anonymous

It is just as well that I keep up with as many weblogs as I do, otherwise I would have missed an interesting coincidence.
On the one hand, Bob S. points out how the EPA is desperately trying to extend its control over all bodies of water, regardless of …

five minutes of fame

So Caleb Giddings engaged Dennis Henigan on Fox News this morning, and I would say that he did a fairly decent job of it – while Dennis seemingly could neither remain on-topic nor answer the host’s questions without rambling on about context-lacking statistics. Yes, Dennis, some people do get permits …

every day should be

On this date, 220 years ago, the Bill of Rights came into effect. As with September 17, every American should take a moment today to read through the document that was adopted all those years in the past, and politicians should be required to.…

Hey I know that guy!

And yes, he really does wear that …

$10,000,000 well-invested

Now that I have finally seen the movie, and now that WizardPC figured it out, I can say, “Yes, yes I did.”



Oh, and as for its serial number? Well, that is going to have to wait for another day, as is the explanation for this post’s title …

*sigh*

Speaking of willful, gratuitous, and pointless destruction of perfectly good products, this is just plain stupid from just about every direction. But, then again, the broad-brush stereotypes that hoplophobes paint all firearm owners with have to have a basis somewhere……

pay no attention to the man behind the curtain

Those computers you grew up watching? Yeah, not so much. (Big surprise, eh?)…

playing in the big leagues

While it is likely to make him even more insufferable, it looks like Caleb will be appearing on Fox and Friends tomorrow morning at 0620, putting forward his side of the argument concerning the Herald Times Online’s flagrant and inexcusable violation of thousands of Indiana residents’ privacy.
Caleb’s …

if it looks like a cult, and talks like a cult…

Remember – when someone has the unmitigated gall to ask inconvenient questions about material that completely undermines your argument and a significant portion of the data it was based upon, it is far easier to use armed force to squelch the questioner rather than simply deal with him civilly and …

a sighting

Better Half and I went to the mall this weekend… bad idea. In addition to the crowds, the people, the traffic, the crowds, the jam-ups in the mall and stores, the mass of people, the crowds, and everything else one would expect in a temple to commercialism at this time …

Guns and Gear Expo

So I went.
I’ve seen reports of people who weren’t happy that it wasn’t a typical gun show. I’m guessing they didn’t know it wasn’t supposed to be.
I had a blast, so to speak. My only regret was that I didn’t bring enough money to actually buy anything except …

where the pieces lie

I think Mark LaRue is my hero:

(In a boxing announcer voice) …

Alright people, LaRue has had enough requests from folks that will willingly break the levers off their A.R.M.S. mounts if LaRue will replace it with a LaRue product.

So, a challenge is made.

We challenge A.R.M.S.

the government is “helping”

Remember back when the American politicians said the unemployment situation was going to get bad if they did nothing, then they did something – anything – and the unemployment situation got even worse?
Remember when that trend of unemployment increasing faster than if the government had done nothing?
Remember …
