Well, as I get over a cold/flu that killed me for four days, it bided my time while listening to the Red Sox NOT wipe the Angels off the map last night in 12 innings by trying to get some of what I plan to take as a 17 day western odyssey on my motorcycle next May. [...]
Well, to take Dan Akroyd’s line from his comment Jane Curtin on SNL in the 70’s… Bill O’Reilly’s got it wrong, so, so miserably wrong. While this was highlighted (see below) by Boing Boing, I still can’t believe, and listen closely, that he’s so damned ignorant. Not only does he not understand technology, his grasp [...]
Yes, this was a great skit… wasn’t there for the original broadcast… but found it here on NBC. I think they both nailed it, and congrats to SNL to opening their 34th (oy I feel old) season with something remotely funny.
Now folks who know me understand I have a GREAT distaste for Wall Street. I’ve been at several mismanaged companies, all with leaders from various top schools that churn out, IMHO, unqualified MBA’s (UPenn, Harvard, Yale… etc.) Reading this, after this years long line of failing bank and finance news, just has me shaking my [...]
Continue reading about how many times can I say “I was right”…
I got a little “bored” and tired of hunting spaces, so I took a
previously established list on the ‘Net as well as some help from the
DC-Cycles list and compiled a Google Map (constantly updated) of all
the motorcycle reserved spaces in the and it’s surroundings (still
trying to get VA, Prince Georges County, more Montgomery County, and
all [...]
So, Bruce Schneier, coiner of that term, and publicity whore at times (ask me about my experience at a Gartner event he speaking at), has caught fire among the vernacular of travelers who are now subjected to the absolute goofiness of the TSA and other security procedures supposedly put into place after 9/11.
I’ve always been a believer [...]
Well, it’s been a relatively busy week, both at work and just stuff in general. Gaby and I did chat and we’re in agreement with the car being sold. I need to clean it and list it.
I’ve also taken some test rides of the replacement vehicle, a enduro-type motorcycle. I’ve tried the BMW R1200 GS, R1200GS Adventure, [...]
Well, Gaby an I had been hemming an hawing for a while about the merits of having two cars. The increased maintenance, insurance, and we have a full garage with a motorcycle, a scooter, three bicycles, and we’re “illegally” parking the spare car that isn’t in our driveway in the visitor spot in the development. We [...]
While I wrote a MetBlog post this morning detailing a noise ordinance being passed to limit protests in D.C., I see this from one of of the organizations I support, the EFF, noting Archive.org’s run in with the U.S. Government over National Security Letters (NSL). I find this a little scary, and close to home [...]
Well, I think I may have fractured my fifth metatarsal in my left foot skiing the other day. Now, it wasn’t from impact per se.. but I had new boots and pushed myself a bit. Now I’m walking around with sharp pain in the outside of my left foot depending on how aI bend and twist the [...]
