For Sale: 1953 Jeep Carcass

So.....maybe the jeep thing didn't really work out. I was pretty into the whole idea, and I think I could have handled the mechanics of the whole process, but in the end, I didn't want to throw 10 to 30 thousand dollars into what would literally be an experiment.  The electrical ... [More]

Geting Old Sucks

So, I was born on November 8, 1970. My birthday was just short of a month ago, it was a good day, folks came out, we had adventures, I aged, we all went home.  Yaaaaayyyy!! I'm sitting on the couch tonight, watching "Shattner's Raw Nerve ", he's doing a show wi... [More]

Electric Jeep November Update

OK, so I'll be honest, the Jeep isn't racing down the street in all it's electric glory yet.  It's still in the garage, in almost the same shape it has been for the last few months.  I have cleaned up the frame a bit, and more importantly, I have found the shop I'm go... [More]

The Road House

So last night, my hot librarian girlfriend was out at an author dinner, the boy was with his dad for the weekend, the house was cleaned, and I had the night to myself.  There was shit on the tv, and I for one was determined not to waste my evening away watching House Hunters or some such bull...

Dynamic Data - Entity Framework Payoff

I recently threw together a quick project for an internal customer who needed a spreadsheet turned into a web accessable database with a user base of about 5 people.  We had decided to use EF and Dynamic Data since this was really not a huge app, and there was no sense in turning it into a mo...

Keep the Internet Free!

I work at a client that has a very restricted proxy server.  No fewer than 20 times a day, I click on a link, any link, and get the "You Are Evil and We Are Tracking You!" page that tells me I am not allowed to access the content on the other side of the link. Alot of this blocke... [More]

Dick Armey: Making Some Sense

Link to an article on keeping the government out of the business or regulating the internet. Reading between the lines, you can see he is clearly in it for the side of the financial institutions, worried about their added costs and responsibilities, but in the end, if it keeps the internet fr...

Sheriff Tom Dart is the Man!

It's not very often that you hear about a guy like Tom Dart, and I'm always in awe when I do.  This guy is truly a bad mother fucker, a guy who sticks his neck out for what's right, risks his own well being when he knows it's the right thing to do. I hope you have heard o... [More]

Normal

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.   - Ellen ... [More]

Is Anyone Else Concerned About NorthCom?

You don't have to live in a cave to have missed the news about the official arming of NorthCom, because it has really been a back burner of a story.  Don't know why though, because this is like a HUGE deal.  In America, we have no standing army of combat ready troops, prepared to... [More]
