Senate Bill 968 (PIPA) and House Bill 3261 (SOPA)

The web is in an uproar over Senate Bill 968 (PIPA) and House Bill 3261 (SOPA), and why shouldn’t they? The language is stern and allows for wide-ranging punishments for infringing websites (see http://americancensorship.org/infographic.html for the slightly sensationalized infographic, or https://www.google.com/landing/takeaction/sopa-pipa/ for a more wordy, but less sensational version). The problem is that we don’t know what WILL [...]

Trump, Obama and “Birthers”

OK, I’m only going to say this once, so don’t worry. This won’t be a big thing. BUT, I watched an “interview” that Chris Matthews had with Pat Buchanan and just couldn’t quite believe I was hearing this right. So, Chris Matthews says in the clip: I am looking around for birthers. And I consider [...]

The web, security and me

This is going to be fairly short, but it’s too long and important to be relegated to a status update. Social media has come a long way in the last couple of years, mostly due to the smart phones that have become so popular, even I bought one (and am writing this post with it). [...]

Global Warm(cool)ing – The Cash Cow of the 21st Century

First off, this blog post has been in the works for a while, so some of the “news” could be a little old, but that doesn’t mean that it’s outdated, it’s just taken me a while to write this post is all I’m not one of those people that really trusts most scientists. I mean, [...]

Explain this one…

Why is rush hour rush hour? Wait, that probably didn’t make sense, so let me explain it this way… My experience during rush hour is that most people drive UNDER the speed limit (sometimes as much as 10 MPH under in a 40 MPH zone… *grumbles*). But overall, it doesn’t seem like people are in [...]

Shipping Annoyances

Well, this rant truly is quick and more a complaint. This time it’s about FedEx vs UPS. Which do I prefer? Brown of course… The reason is simple. If I order something from say… Amazon. It will generally be shipped from California (Los Angeles area to be exact) and I live in Tucson, Arizona. So, [...]

Ranting time again!

Yep, it’s that time again and this time it’s about my favorite topic… Driving! First off, lets start with the basics. I consider myself to be a fairly good driver. Agressive, yes. But good anyway. I’ve never caused any accidents, have avoided numerous people who have tried to hit me (having a small car like [...]

I don’t get it…

EDIT: Just to be clear, I am in the same group of Christians I describe below. I really try to be good, but there are those times I fail and am NOT good. I’m no better than most Christians, but that still doesn’t make it right… AMAZING! Two blogs in one day. Well, two in [...]

I guess people think I have “Dumb” written on my forehead…

Why do I say that? Well, I’ve been searching for a new car to buy. No, not a brand new car, I don’t want to mess with the depreciation. But a good used car. What I REALLY want is a Honda Accord Coupe V6 with a 6-speed manual. However, those pretty much don’t exist used [...]

News and the Journalism Industry

Over the last year or so I’ve been trying to keep up with world events and how they are progressing as time goes on. But what I’ve found is that no matter WHAT organization you choose to read the news from, there’s some sort of a slant to it. This of course doesn’t come as [...]
