the snowball effect

If I had not started openly carrying my firearm, I never would have had the opportunity to discuss the legalities of doing so with a Canadian subject.

If I had not engaged in that conversation, I never would have had the material for a recent comment.

If …

namechanger

GunPal is now GPal.

Same great people. Same VeriSign certification. Same awesomeness when compared to the anti-rights idiocy of PayPal.

And, now, a much more approachable name. That works.

reasonable restrictions

A thought occurred to me this morning while shaving – one primarily precipitated by yet another round of UBU52 loudly claiming she is not a bigot, despite her words indicating quite the opposite in the past.

The thought was a fairly simple one: anti-rights nuts like to go on …

black hole of privacy

Facebook sucks.

Facebook frakking sucks.

Facebook sucks ten different ways.

Facebook sucks another six ways.

Facebook sucks, in pictures.

The good news? There may be an alternative in the future, complete with open source code, GPG encryption, distributed software you can host for yourself, social …

revolution… in… spaaaaace…

And speaking of The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, movie manuscripts, and all the rest, it woulid seem as though the entire book is now available online. Given the quality and re-readability of the story, I would strongly recommend that you eventually pick up a hardcopy of …

Dear VMWare:

It’s really frustrating that I have to “log in” to download your latest free download.

It’s more frustrating that the email I have from you guys with my login information doesn’t work.

More still: My account that worked two months ago now say “Sorry, that email address isnt in our …

missing out on the fun

As you have probably already determined, I am not currently in Charlotte with all of the cool kids, nor will I be joining them this weekend – we are moving on Wednesday, so all of the wrapping-up in the house is happening in the next few days, and we need …

Okay, now I’m furious

DA: Murder Investigations Suffered Under Serpas

Davidson County’s district attorney general now admits that he’s had big concerns about how Metro police investigate murders.

His big concern was policies put in place by former Chief Ronal Serpas.

This development follows a months-long NewsChannel 5 investigation into The Truth About Crime.

judging from a position of bigoted ignorance

Unfortunately, Robb already beat me to the word-exchange entertainment available on this topic, so I think I will approach this federal court ruling concerning open carry from another direction. The judge passing down the summary judgement (a certain Lynn Adelman, for those interested) stated the following blockquotes as nearly-absolute …

well that could change things a little

For those unfamiliar with the name, Rosewill makes damned near every computer-related accessory, peripheral, and gadget you can probably think of, while still maintaining a relatively respectable quality level (at least from our dealings with their products).

However, a battery charger that can recharge alkaline AAA/AA and Ni-MH batteries… …

without a doubt

Call me a ditto-head if you like (simply because I understand that calling someone something does not make them the something in question), but this is the God-blessed truth:

I don’t think it’s any of the federal government’s business who a bank lends money to. If they want to

how cute

This all-too-amusing advertisement showed up on Engadget for me, though I would not be surprised if it started popping up in other places as well:

We [heart] Apple.

We love Flash and HTML 5.

We love our 3 million developers.

We love authoring code only once.

We love all platforms

monkey see, monkey do

Unless you have been living under a rock these past few years, you would be aware of the intentionally-offensive, unquestionably childish term that supposedy “liberals”/progressives have been using to describe Tea Party members and attendees – a term with a pre-existing defintion describing a particularly crude, but not necessarily sexual, …

break glass for emergency pants

Yes, I, along with pretty much everyone else on the gunblogosphere, went out and bought some emergency tactical pants today. Thanks to Jay G for pointing out the deal – and given that even average Carpenter Jeans from Dickies run about $25 these days, it is a relatively good …

darksuckers on parade

If you ever had any questions concerning the increasingly-crowded market of tactical / high-end / performance / etc. flashlights, this guide probably has you covered, with topics ranging from power sources, to switch types, to circuitry, to coatings, to everything inbetween. The information seems accurate, insofar as I looked …

if the plane works, i ain’t jumpin’

Every once in a while, my diminishing faith in the human species as a whole gets bolstered a little, by honest people doing the right thing:

For her 54th birthday, the grandmother of three decided to send herself airmail – by jumping out of a plane from 13,000 feet.

the box

The Box: Well, gos-se, that was a colossal waste of everyone’s time, made all the more atrocious by the otherwise promising underlying story – a story that was ultimately adulterated into that moronic big-screen presentation. …

Now it can be told

Chief Ronal Serpas was inflating the number of solved crimes reported to the FBI, TBI, Metro Council, and you.

It seems that, despite his constant assertions to the contrary, if you focus on traffic violations more than patrols actual crimes go unsolved.…

reality proves their lies

Remember, fair readers – there is absolutely no reason for you to carry a firearm out in public, and there is absolutely nothing you can do if a criminal already has a gun out and pointed at you.

No reason, and nothing you can do, whatsoever:
