Well, I’m a “hacker” in the loosest terms, as I will do what it will take to get stuff to work, if it promises to be worthwhile. Wether this be spending untold hours at a command line trying to get crap to compile or writing some creative code to get around an issue that should [...]
Well, it’s been about a month since I chimed back in, but a number of things have been going on which have kept me uber busy. Work… of course… while not necessarily ”never a dull moment”, which there are a plenty… the past month and a half has just been hectic… lots of stuff to write and [...]
first off, I want to personally apologize to two people… 1) my wife… and 2) Melissa…
This is the first time in my life, I was personally called a “douchebag” to my face. Not quite sure if it was “in jest” or it was actually an intent on causing harm. I apologize to my wife, Gaby, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
Okay, so I shamefully paraphrased BTTF… but today seemed as good as any to use it.
SO… let’s set the scene, shall we.
I get home early, namely since I had to run some errands, and work was kind of dry today (both work, willingness to do so, and lack thereof the previous two). After unloading the [...]
Continue reading about “Marty, where we’re going, we don’t need keys…”
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, I stole this line from Don Crowdis… but, I’ve been embroiled in a 3.5 week Odyssey at work… hopefully it’ll wind down. During that time I’ve managed to neglect some things (no, not personal hygiene), but hopefully I can get some of them back on track. I did fix a database issue with SoundtrackNet [...]
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 [...]
