A blog from a science nut, computer geek, sometimes philosopher, and a human. Based out of Denver, with a love of Antarctica, I seem to wander the world so who knows where I'll be in 6 months.
My brother, who’ve I’ve only be back living with for 2 years now while we’ve both been in DC, is picking up to work in Burundi. He isn’t leaving till April 28th, but I guess it’s his turn to pack it up and go see the world. It sounds like it’s going to be just … Read more
Bloody christ they don’t make this easy to figure out. I’ve been trying to figure out how to approve a moderated post using the mailman email command-line interface after I just moved all my websites to a new hoster. I’ve used mailman before for work, but I realized I hate it! Way to techy, not … Read more
Bobby’s house is flapping in the wind. As one of the residents of New Orleans whose house was flooded by 3 breeches surrounding the Lower 9th Ward during Hurricane Katrina, she came back and paid 131,000 dollars for a house that’s a shell of completion. Her shell sits on 10 foot concrete stilts next to … Read more

For anyone who doesn’t have enough reading for the day, I’ve had a new feature running in the side bar of my blog which might contribute to it. Cough…You say, MORE stuff to read? Oh, well yea, just the stuff that I pick up from friends, colleagues, and my random sources which are distinctly influencing … Read more
One of my roommates forwarded me a letter from Congressmen Reyes to President Bush, which is exactly what I’m advocating people start explaining. He’s on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence which gives him first hand knowledge of people and the information they develop. By far I think one of the most telling paragraphs … Read more
I wasn’t imagining that I would have had a problem with Colorado’s newest senator on this issue, but lo and behold he actually voted NOT to strike the provisions providing immunity. Just to be clear as it’s a double negative, this means he voted to keep Telephone Companies (Telco) immunity in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance … Read more
It’s been a while, nearly a month an a half since I’ve chimed in on life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I’ve been provoked by the fact that I’m sitting in an urgent care waiting room contemplating how mood, pain, sanity, and learning to be happy in all situations co-exist. On the one hand … Read more
To me and the 18,000,000 other people who likely share Dec 19th with them. Let’s hope that this next year is a good year for all 18 million of us. Special thanks to my mother for the greatest birthday present ever!
