The Violence in Burma
At the risk of confusing Miss Teen South Carolina, I am going to continue to refer to Burma by that name as opposed to favored junta brand Myanmar. All jokes aside, the violence being perpetrated against unarmed civilians is horrifying, it is as bad as anything happening in Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Cuba, and a thousand other [...]
When Local Backups Are Not Enough
Here’s one reason why online backups make a lot of sense, thiefs steal your computers and portable backup devices. The popular backup hard disks that many of us have (me included) only protect you from one kind of event, computer failure.
Speaking with Argentine broadcaster Todo Noticias, Coppola appealed to the bandits [...]
Your Very Own Missle Silo
Now this could be really cool… I bet the guy up in Portola Valley with tank farm would be a potential buyer.
Apple Sued for iPhone Price Cut
I think someone should sue Apple not for the price cut but for maliciously disabling iPhones that don’t belong to them. At any rate, this lawsuit over the price cut seems pretty thin.
Among her many claims are that Apple unfairly deprived her of the chance to sell her early-bought iPhone at [...]
The Follies of King County
“It’s not that we didn’t take him seriously,” Deputy Rodney C. Chinnick said. “We don’t take every missing person report on adults. … If we did, we’d be doing nothing but going after missing person reports.”
This should make you feel safe and secure if you are in King County in Washington state. I heard an [...]

The government in Harare confirmed President Robert Mugabe and his Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad discussed the formation of such a coalition on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New [...]
The War – Part 4
Tonight I watched the 4th part of The War. Quite honestly I almost could not because after watching the images and hearing the interviews in part 3 about the Anzio Operation I really didn’t think I could watch any more of the series.
I almost turned it off again tonight, which covered the D-Day invasion, [...]
Blog Bling
Check out my new widget in the far right sidebar. I used the free NewsGator widget maker to build it from my existing feed. A couple of things worth mentioning, first being that I can build a widget from multiple feeds, which quite honestly I think it more useful than having a blogroll. I think [...]
Mobile Web Kinda Sucks Now
Scott Karp details a list of reasons why the mobile web sucks. For the most part I am inclined to agree with him… however, my iPhone experience over the last couple of weeks has brought me back from the edge of completely abandoning the mobile web. Following Scott’s list, here’s why it’s not so bad [...]
