I Hate Pit Bulls…
.. but this story makes me think better of Jack Russells.
RSS Killed the Web Browsing Star
One of the outlets/time-killers for office works the world over is browsing the web, and I’m certainly no exception. There are times when you just need a break, and hitting the various news and geek news sites often does the trick for me. There is, though, a technology that has become increasing popular over the …
A Run to Remember
I ran in my first marathon yesterday, though it was only a relay — a 5K leg at that — but I ran! 🙂 Our team’s goal was to finish, and that’s what we did, with no one walking, so we feel pretty good about that. By other’s standards, we didn’t do too well. Luckily, …
Funny “Dance” Video
I got to talking to my brother- and father-in-law over the weekend about a video about Steve Ballmer on YouTube that I found pretty funny, if not somewhat embarrassing. To really appreciate it, though, you have to sit through a couple of others, or at least be somewhat familiar with them. Here‘s the “original” Steve …
Truly a cost of living increase

Still a big goose egg on the embryonic stem cell side, which is why we need to funnel billions …
Vista…Nail…Coffin?

Mohler’s Concession
In a recent Time article, Al Mohler concedes “that science may one day prove homosexuals are born gay” and he very well could be right. This was greeted by the homosexual community with a fair amount of glee, until they read where he states that, even if this scenario should come to pass, it in …
Funny Bumper Stickers
Over at The Corner, they have a pretty funny thread about bumper stickers going. Here are some highlights: Great Bumper Sticker [Jonah Goldberg] Yesterday the fair Jessica and I were stuck behind a pickup truck with many liberal bumper stickers. My favorite was (quoting from memory) “Let’s have a time limit on poverty, not just …
“I Oppose It…I Hate It…However I Believe in a Woman’s Right to Choose”
In a recent interview with Sean Hannity, GOP presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani said this of abortion, “I oppose it…I hate it…However I believe in a woman’s right to choose.” Why the tension? Why does he hate it? Why does he oppose it? If it’s because it kills an innocent human being (which it does), then …
