Besides, Obama is just trying to clean up the mess left by 8 years of Republican mismanagement.

Newest Customer Service Failure
April 22, 2009 – 2:21 pm
Since November 19th, 2007, my ‘Worst Customer Service Award’ has been held by a company called goingTODAY.com. You can read how they came to hold that title here: GoingTODAY.com? GONE today! Well, today I have nominated a new company for that singular honor. The company is [...]
How bad will it get?
April 2, 2009 – 2:53 pm
Due to gross malfeasance, fiscal irresponsibility and cronyism, the Republican party, under the management and leadership of George ‘W’ Bush and Dick(head) Cheney have brought our once strong country to the brink of disaster. It is possible that we will weather this economic storm and not starve to death. I wonder if the same can [...]

A god this malevolent doesn’t even deserve my respect let alone my worship!
Why TV Lost the War
March 4, 2009 – 5:49 am
Something I found on boingboing this morning. Thoughtful discussion on how the convergence of TV and the computer didn’t really result in a new appliance. The apparent winner of the war is the computer which has been refined to supplant traditional TV distribution.
Although the advent of some of the devices that stream NetFlix does [...]
It’s About Time!
February 19, 2009 – 11:53 am
Finally, a design requirement that makes sense!
I hope that Motorola will live up to this agreement. I have always found it ludicrous that the USB connector on the RAZR would not accept a standard USB cable connected to my computer. It always said something like ‘Unauthorized charger’ or some such nonsense.
Single charger coming for mobile [...]
Slow down or even STOP foreclosure by the bank!
February 18, 2009 – 9:04 am
I found this article on the local Seattle PI web site and I think that it’s important enough to reproduce here.
Wily legal maneuver is holding off foreclosures
Homeowners demand to see original papers

ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla. — Kathy Lovelace lost her job and was about to lose her house, too. But then she made [...]
YouTube Pulls Atheist Video
February 6, 2009 – 11:41 am
A YouTube video that was pulled for “inappropriate content”. That’s right, there is no questioning the legitimacy of organized religion in America. As you all remember, Bush effectively negated your rights. It was all in your best interests (as defined by the radical republican christian right), so don’t worry too much [...]
RIAA vs. Tenenbaum, Fears of Manipulation
January 22, 2009 – 6:09 am
The RIAA has appealed to the court system to disallow the Web Cast streaming of the proceedings in the forthcoming case against Joel Tenenbaum. Their argument? They are afraid the results would be edited out of context and make them look bad.
Really?
How can they possibly look an worse? Considering that they have waged a [...]
Let The Healing Begin
January 21, 2009 – 5:55 am
Below I have pasted an article from my favorite non-American news source, The Guardian. I read them frequently when I feel as if I can’t trust the ’standard’ news outlets. Their agenda is quite different than say, Fox News or MSNBC.
Obama inauguration: Let the remaking of America begin today

This is the full text of President Obama’s inauguration speech: Tuesday, 20 January 2009
My fellow citizens: I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, [...]

I would like to wish everyone a happy and healthy 2009. May all your dreams come true.
Blackguards of Blackwater – Back in the News
December 8, 2008 – 6:03 am
Remember those 17 Iraqi civilians murdered by member of the ‘elite’ security force, Blackwater? On September 16th, 2007, a firefight (if the strafing of civilians with automatic weapons can be considered a firefight!) in Nisour Square left 17 civilians dead, 14 of whom the FBI has determined were unjustifiable.
Well, the 5 Blackwater murderers [...]
WaMu cuts 9200 jobs nationwide, 3400 in Seattle alone
December 2, 2008 – 5:57 am
As the ripples of the economic debacle continue to spread we will be seeing more cases like WaMu. Washington Mutual collapsed in September and was acquired by JPMorgan for $1.9 billion. It was this nation’s largest bank failure in history.
Hopefully it will be the last such failure, but my guess is that [...]
Hillary may not qualify for cabinet post
November 30, 2008 – 6:57 am
Yikes! There is apparently an oft forgotten little clause in the U.S. Constitution (Article One, Section Six) that prohibits senators from taking a civil office if that legislator has ever voted to increase the pay for that job. Could this preclude Hillary from accepting the post of Secretary of State?
There is also some [...]
VW Unveils New 69.9 mpg Hybrid
November 28, 2008 – 10:39 am
In spite of the promises by Detroit and the lavish spreads in Popular Mechanics, the flying car I was promised in the July 1957 is really no closer to a reality now than it was then. Sure, there are some one off solutions, but honestly, who can afford to drive or fly something [...]
