I tried really hard. With all the other stuff going on I didn’t want to throw my two cents into the ring about it. There are so many other things to talk about. Bush screwing up again, Gas prices, Iran, the elections, the list goes on and on. The news seems to be flooded with [...]

On my way to work every day I pass by three gas stations. Over the last few weeks I’ve watched the prices on them climb higher and higher just like the rest of you. Occasionally I stop at one of them, always the cheapest of the three that week, and fill my tank. The most [...]

Remember back to when you were a kid and your parents would give you some new form of responsibility. Inevitably every kid ends up screwing things up and when that happens the “If you can’t take care of it then you can’t have it” line gets pulled out of the parental archive. I’m sure most [...]

The big news this week has been about what we are going to do about illegal aliens who have made their way in to the US. Should they be given amnesty? Should they be deported? Should they be allowed to work and pay taxes? Honestly, I’ve been beaten over the head with this so much [...]

So, it seems that one of the last bastions of independent computer manufacturing went to the wayside this week as Dell bought up Alienware. I was somewhat concerned by this, simply because what are all the elitist gamers going to do when their machine goes down and they have to call India for support? It’s [...]

So a friend of mine and I got into a debate which actually became the impetus for me to write this week’s piece. It all started as we observed that the US is obviously on its way to a collapse under its own weight. People don’t seem to care as much as they should, politicians [...]

One of the most vivid memories I have from growing up is arguing with my sister. Sure, I’m in my thirties now and my relationship with my sister isn’t quite as adversarial, however I do remember some real knock down drag out fights between the two of us. Most if it was the normal sibling [...]

“We’ve gone astray from first principles. We’ve lost sight of the rule that individual freedom and ingenuity are at the very core of everything that we’ve accomplished. Government’s first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.” – Ronald Reagan I’m not a huge fan of Reagan. I certainly won’t go around touting [...]

Hi all. Welcome back after my somewhat long hiatus. I was trying to stay as far away from my computer as possible over the holidays, and it seemed to have worked. Hope everyone is having a great new year and I’m looking forward to all the stuff there is to rant about in the upcoming [...]
