Am I hallucinating? Did someone slip LSD into my iced tea? I thought I just saw a news report that said Secretary of State Rice said, “…we must cut the Gordian knot of fossil fuels, carbon emissions and economic activity. This current system is no longer sustainable.” Nations must fight climate change like terrorism, Rice… Continue reading Nations must fight climate change like terrorism, Rice says – CNN.com

for or against network neutrality?
I see a lot on line these days urging people to support “network neutrality“. Maybe I don’t understand the arguments well enough, but I’ve read what the Save the Internet people have written, and I think I’m still against net neutrality. Personally, I think differentiated services would be a good thing. I think it’s perfectly… Continue reading for or against network neutrality?
it’s all about the grammar it’s got in its pocketses
What’s the world coming to? I’m definitely used to my family and friends mixing up “its” and “it’s” just as so many other Americans so. But I was just reading this article from Reuters, the highly respected news organization. The article is about the 82-year-old boxing ring at Madison Square Garden, and the author writes:… Continue reading it’s all about the grammar it’s got in its pocketses
Ahoy, matey! Yogic shalom in the Small Country!
I went to yoga class this evening, for the first time in several years. It was good; my flexibility sucks. One benefit of our annual Broomfield Parks and Rec membership is we can just drop in on any yoga, spinning, or pilates class for free anytime we want. I wonder how I’ll feel in the… Continue reading Ahoy, matey!

the wonders of the Mac and Bluetooth (and final thoughts on the Mighty Mouse)
Here’s another example of why I’m happy to have moved to the Macintosh platform for all my home computing. Beth and I have Motorola RAZR phones we bought a few years back. I think it was after AT&T switched to Cingular, but before they switched back to AT&T (but that’s another story). Anyhow, this is… Continue reading the wonders of the Mac and Bluetooth (and final thoughts on the Mighty Mouse)
we’re back from Fort Lauderdale
Beth and I turned our 3-day Labor Day weekend into a 5-day vacation, and went to Fort Lauderdale for our 5-year wedding anniversary. We did a bunch of diving and a bunch of eating, as well as a little shopping and one walk on the beach. We dived with Pro Dive, which is one of… Continue reading we’re back from Fort Lauderdale
