How long has it been since I’ve posted to this blog? I figure I had best put something up lest you all drop me from your rss readers. Posting will resume at a more regular pace in a short while. I’ve been under duress getting my business affairs in order, struggling just […]

This was
too funny
to not post, even though I’ve been silent on so much major news lately.
The posting, on a Web site that frequently carried militants’ statements, included a photo of what that statement said was an American soldier, wearing desert fatigues and seated on a concrete floor with his hands tied behind his […]

Wired has a fun piece purporting to be a memo from Linus Torvalds to his boss Bill Gates in the year 2008.
Myself, I thought I was making some pretty outrageous demands. I was stunned when you agreed to accept the General Public License mandating that everything you added at the level of the new operating […]

Brilliant exposition of Fight Club (hat tip: WoC)
In the film Fight Club, the real name of the protagonist (Ed Norton’s character) is never revealed. Many believe the reason behind this anonymity is to give “Jack” more of an everyman quality. Do not be deceived. “Jack” is really Calvin from the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. […]

Heh.
DARK night gave way, that Jan the first,
To hopes that now the sun would burst
On where Saddam had once been king%u2014
Tsar, caesar, lord%u2014of everything,

And poison gas and listening bugs,
Had ground the poor Iraqis down,
In field and dune and marsh and town.
