Missile Defense: Whatever
August 28th, 2001 · Comments
Missile DefenseThis program seems, even on the surface, to be a load of crap. Now, I’m no mamby-pamby pacifist type when it comes to our nation’s defence, but given the total lack of budget defecit and a decrease in future tax revenues, missile defense seems like a waste of time and money. First, I’ll [...]

August 22nd, 2001 · Comments
I understand the city will be broke when the mayor’s term (read “Eichmann-esque reign of terror”) is up..
I also understand that a vigilante mob is now forming, and besides the mayor,
Al Sharpton, Bob Barr and Puff Diddy are also on “the list”

Detroit was great!
August 21st, 2001 · Comments
Detroit was great! Ypsilanti, which is a suburb of Ann Arbor in actuality, is a great little town. I’m not saying I’d want to be there from November through March, but it’s still a great place. Check out the photos for more of a feel.
I would say that Detroit is one of the [...]

The 20th Anniversary of the PC
I still remember my Uncle Zack was the first person I knew with a “real” IBM PC. It was an XT. I used to program very basic BASIC programs on it and impress my parents. You know, stuff like write my name on the screen forever and [...]

Grow A Tail
August 12th, 2001 · Comments
Nobody believes me, or at nobody wants to believe me, when I say that the stuff our children (by that, I mean children of the Gen-X-ers) do to “shock” us will be so much more extreme than what currently passes as non-conformist. I’m not saying one way or another if this is good or [...]

Okay, now my next question
August 9th, 2001 · Comments
Okay, now my next question would be: How do I get my own blog entry for shameless grandstanding? I currently have my own livejournal that stays reasonably active, but I’d much happier if I could run it off of this mad little platform.

Hey, is there any way to restructure the page to view in a given format?This reminds me a bit of a board I’m on called Akhbar-al-yom. But they send along tons of frivolous emails about how this one girl can’t get laid, so sometimes it’s a bit much.Trav

Work was mellow
August 7th, 2001 · Comments
Work was mellow. I put of much of what should have been done today in favor of leaving early and dialing into conference calls while killing Ashetonio Bandares via a networked game of complete and total violence. Truly fun. Now I will have to buckle down for tomorrow’s payment.
Making travel arrangements by the [...]

The Future of Atlanta Erodes
August 7th, 2001 · Comments
The Future of Atlanta Erodes FurtherRecent gerrymandering by Sherry Dorsey and the likes has resulted in the drawing of some seemingly very arbitrary and divisive political lines. She showed up at the hearings with her posse, who shouted down her opponents, calling one guy a “faggot.” She managed to preserve her political base, but I’m [...]
