My busy day did not do well for my blogging, nor for any photography. I took four pictures today, and this was the best that I got. It isn’t much, but it will have to do. Flowers in light and shadow. Click on the small picture to get a bigger one at 1024 pixels wide… Continue reading this entry

Tupac in the classroom

Michelle Malkin: The presumption that children — and particularly inner-city children — can only be stimulated by the contemporary and familiar smacks of lazy elitism and latent racism. These educators, and I use that term as loosely as gangster rappers wear their pants, are clearly more interested in appearing cool than in inculcating a refined… Continue reading this entry

Spiteful Iraqis?

I gotts your hearts and minds right heah: “Just as we mourn for the victims of Saddam’s regime, we also grieve for the Americans and Iraqis who were killed or injured during the liberation or by terrorists determined to hold us back,” the letter reads. “We will honor those who have sacrificed for our freedom… Continue reading this entry

Playgrounds without children can be the loneliest scenes to take in. A playground with no children. Click on the small picture to get a bigger one at 1024 pixels wide (55+KB)

A phenom I don’t want

Zombyboy examines Michael Moore (emphasis added): What disturbs me isn’t that Moore exists, and It isn’t that Moore says what he says. What disturbs me most is that so many people take him seriously and that so many people will walk out of the theatre believing the spin and the half-truths.

Never again

Jeff Quinton has news about a highjacking attempt of a Munich to Istanbul flight. No doubt The President was the target of this. Well, who else would they target? UPDATE: Bush was gone from Turkey at that point.

Great tunes

Imagine The Corrs boobless and without the Irish flair, and you get the only punk-revival band that gets the 12-hour-album-loop treatment on the OFJ Media Player: Yellowcard. I suppose the “self-annointed music cognoscenti” (long story here) would scathe at my choice of listening material; at least I’m having fun, and I do some badass web… Continue reading this entry

Do you have Mattmail?

Matt Mullenweg has a few e-mail goodies that no one has… yet: So the long and short of it is, I’m loading all the email I receive into a database using a fun combination of Procmail, Spam Assassin, and a sprinkling of command line PHP. I’m very excited about this, more excited than I’ve been… Continue reading this entry

I’m spending the night at my friend’s house. There isn’t much scenery where he lives, however, his dog is one handsome beast. My friend’s dog, looking all stately in the late afternoon sun. Click on the small picture to get a bigger one at 1024 pixels wide (100+KB) Woof.

A new Iraq

Kathy Kinsley greets Iraq a happy birthday; it has been quite a long gestation and the work is far from over but in an excellent stroke of forced-timing against Murqawi and his band of bandits, we handed over sovereignty back to the Iraqis two days before the “deadline.” Well, there you go. UPDATE: Jeff Quinton… Continue reading this entry
