Managing Nerds
Its a great thing Micheal Lopp is still blogging after he finished his book. Otherwise we would miss out on great stuff like this. Your nerd has built an annoyingly efficient relevancy engine in his head. It’s the end of the day and you and your nerd are hanging out on the couch. The TV…

YAMSR
I recently switch to using a Mac for my main computer. I decided I didn’t want to move to vista and while I love ubuntu I don’t really want to use an os which still requires me to edit files in /etc to hook to a secure wifi access point. I do have a gutsy…

Testing Faith
At 40+ I consider myself an “old” programmer although it feels better to just think of myself as “old-school”. Its an interesting ride because I go back and forth between feeling like I have seen all the things come around 100 times and thinking there is so much new stuff I will never be able…

It would be even nicer if they hired some decent artists. There are some really smart and talented people behind Croquet but so far thier screenshots actually make…

The Big Picture on Iraq
Truth be told, I’m basically a sucker alot of the time. I mean I’m often easily swayed by a small piece of evidence that has nothing much at all to do with the big picture. This comes up all the time during the Iraq Conflict. I hear a story that makes it sound like things…

Seeing Daylight
While in most cases you have to be super rich or a terrorist to benefit from Bush’s policies, there has been one new law that went into effect which in my opinion is good for people in neither of these special groups. Hurray Bush for moving up Day light savings time. While its not really…
“You know what truth is? It’s some crazy thing my neighbor believes. If I want to make friends with him, I ask him what he believes. He tells me, and I say, “Yeah, yeah – ain’t it the truth?”
