The US Consitution dodged a bullet today… and socialism took it in the gut. In a landmark 5-4 ruling the US Supreme Court recalibrated the anti-gun wingnuts. The high court repeated to us the 2nd Amendment – using small words we ALL could understand – which secures the citizen’s right to own firearms for personal [...]
Girl (18 years old) goes to Hawaii on school trip. Girl drinks. Girl drinks too much. Girls falls off balcony. Parents sue the chaperone. Parents win. Chaperone must pay parents nearly $700,000! Whiskey tango foxtrot?! Lawyers are the devil.
Most days I curse my swimming pool. It’s a pain… something is always breaking… it constantly needs chemicals and cleaning. Opening it is a hassle and closing it is a hassle. But on days like today – when it’s 94F and wicked humid – my little private pool is a wonderful reminder that I live [...]
Wow, I justed watched Rambo and I was pleasantly surprised at the plethora of issues and principles put forth. I’ll have to post more about on this soon, but suffice it to say that third-world plight, pacifism and the use of deadly force, militant fascism, and “who would Jesus punch” were all addressed in some [...]
I have discovered Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and I think I may be in love. Is that healthy? While processing our Cape Cod pictures taken on our new Canon G9 I decided to give Lightroom a spin… and it’s having two diametric effects on me. I am gigglingly delighted with the results… both the resultant photos [...]
The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers will play each other for the NBA championship for the first time in 21 years. This is a classic rivalry that has been credited with reviving a slumping NBA in the 1980′s and propelling it (with the later help of Michael Jordan) into the marketing monster and global [...]
I recently learned that cellphones were not made to go in the washer. It’s bad for their internal operation, and it’s bad for the LCD screen… but it’s probably MOST bad for the battery, which starts to chemically expand and bind itself into the battery well.
There’s something about being on Cape Cod, feeling the salty breeze, sipping Boston-brewed ale, enjoying fried whole clams and award-winning chowder, while watching the Boston Celtics win a playoff game.
As thoughts of Memorial Day weekend vacation fills my mind… I think to the inevitable getaway taboo that occurs without fail – I will get online somewhere. When I do, I like to carry my trusty thumbdrive packed with goodies from PortableApps.com. That site is a treasure trove of single folder (and often, single executable [...]
Jon Lester, a 24-year-old lefty playing for my boys (the Red Sox) just pitched the first no-hitter of the 2008 Major League season tonight against the Kansas City Royals (who last gave up a no-hitter to Nolan Ryan). Lester had survived cancer to pitch the World Series clincher for Boston last fall. I’ve been cheering [...]
