offshore real estate

Did you know you can buy your own island? And not "you" in the "when you win the lottery" kind of way, but "you" as in the "if you had $55k laying around" kind of way.

Granted, I cannot say as though I know anyone who has that …

sometimes i hate being agreed with

Why do I think Police-State-Formerly-Known-as-America is effectively an unavoidable fate for our country? Barron breaks out the reasoning and most-recent examples, with this being my primary point of contention (though, as usual, I did a bad job expressing it):

The government is murdering it’s own civilians and it seems

mike barkley, petty authoritarian for congress

Compare:

JOINT RESOLUTION

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States repealing the right to keep and bear arms.

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled (two-thirds of each House concurring therein), That the following article is

clarification on the collapse

File this under "Reasons Not to Write Weblog Posts When You are So Angry You Can Hardly See Straight".

Last week, I penned the following quote:

I guess our country had a good run, but welcome to the police state. When an apparently law-abiding citizen and veteran can be

the future today

So it is 2011 and we do not yet have flying cars. This makes most people like me sad.

However, we might soon have flying motorbikes:

If there was any way at all I would ever strap into something like that, I would be …

If any of my readers are still waffling about the Flipside 2x Wallet I reviewed last month, I still like mine, and the folks at Flipside are offering $5 off any purchase until midnight EST this coming Wednesday – just enter “DAD” as your discount code at the checkout.  …

Super 8:  One part Goonies, one part ET, one part Close Encounters of the Third Kind, one part Cloverfield, and one part Aliens… and a hell of a ride to boot, with big screen heartily recommended.  …

the idea is catching on

Regular readers will be familiar with my belief that pretty pictures can make otherwise-complicated concepts easier to understand, and, thankfully, a lot of people are getting the chance to see why. However, I am always open to suggestions or new interpretations, and while I do not always have …

DNS Bleg

I’ve been using the free EveryDNS service for years. DynDNS recently bought them and now they want a “migration fee” for each of my domains, even though previous communications indicated the service would remain free.

So what do you use? …

coincidental coincidence

I had always wondered what the larger, aft-most cup holder in the Mustang center console/armrest area was for.

the killing of jose guerena

I have held off on posting on the shooting (and apparent murder) of Jose Guerena for a variety of reasons, not the least of which are my abject fury over how the situation was handled, and my hope that some kind of mitigating information would eventually surface.

Well, my fury …

swing, and a miss

Since 2005, the Mustang line has thankfully been resurrected from the depths of stupid-assed lunchbox-esque styles by a design team that understands that Americans want a classic-looking but modern-powered pony car in their garages and driveways. There was some not-insignificant redesign in 2010, but most people would argue that the …

and i really should not have to follow-up on it

Coincidentally, my post yesterday was not specifically written in response to Breda’s situation with her picture being used without her permission, but those two posts do dovetail together perfectly, and give me one more comment to make about the concept as a whole:

the gift of comfort

IMAG0164IMAG0164Yesterday, as Better Half and I were headed to bed, the following conversation about our heat pump installation transpired:

Better Half: You’re getting an HVAC for your birthday. [singing] Happy birthday to you… [/singing]

Me: Can we put candles on it? That would be awesome.

Better Half: [singing] It comes

This is a joke, right?

Has to be. The Onion must have hacked a legitimate news site.

That’s the only way I can accept that a wrong house no-knock SWAT raid by….The Department of Education is remotely possible.

There is no reason, plausible or implausible, to send in door-kicking puppy killers because you’re behind …

this is how people die

I loved air shows as a kid, and it did not hurt that my father was invariably stationed not far from a nearby Naval Air Station or Air Force Base… Just the thrill of seeing those aircraft up close and personal was enough for me, but the highlights were definitely …

i really should not have to write this post

But here we are. 

To my fellow webloggers, forum residents, tweeters, and other internet denizens:  if you repost an image or picture that was originally found on / generated by another website, it is generally considered poor form to do so without linking back to the original post/page on …
