Longevity

Friday, October 6th, 2006

We just noted the beginning of Rob's 4th year in service, and if you look at the list of archives, I'm starting my 5th, but my good friend Dave is starting his 7th. That, my friends, is a long haul on the intarwebs. That makes him probably around 276 in ...

After Action Report

Saturday, September 9th, 2006

So, what have we learned after all this? Many people won't bother with facts that refute their pre-conceived notions It's easier to cast aspersions than actually engage a person The mere suggestion that other races can be racist will, in turn, brand you a racist We, as a nation, are not mature enough to ...

My old blogging friend, Chad has gone off his rocker and got hisself hitched. Like me, he managed to marry above himself. I think all smart guys do.

Blogging Article Out

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

The blogging article we discussed earlier is online today. As I predicted, I ended up on the cutting room floor, but in the context of the article, it's just as well, I reckon. I can't think of a way to say this without it sounding like sour grapes, but I ...

Right vs. Left

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

The "battle" between left and right, in my mind, has always been one between individualism and collectivism. Where we should be is generally in the middle, I think. (Quelle surprise, non?) Too much in one way or another leads to bad things, what with human nature being the way it is. At ...

Montana Debate Site

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

I'm probably the last to point this out, but Colby Natale and Jeff from Speedkill have started Big Sky Banter, a site for a more formalized (and civil) debate of today's issues. I wish them the best of luck in their new venture. I doubt that I'll be able to ...

Mike, over at The Last Best Place, turned up an interview with Pierre Rehov, a French filmmaker, who discusses some of the "root causes" of terrorism and the pathology of suicide bombers. (Hint: Starts with I and ends with slam.)

Nerd Forgets Camera for Blogger Bash, Film At 11

Sunday, August 6th, 2006

My nerd cred dropped about 1000 points last night, as I went to a blogger bash sans camera. Oh, I eventually remembered it, just before we pulled into the parking lot, but by then, it was too late to go back. Fortunately, J. Random Blogger, otherwise known as Randy, had forgotten his, ...

If you're of the vaya al infierno fidel mindset, and are anxious to hear the official word of fidel's death, you can keep up on the latest doings at Babalu Blog. You can find a profile of Val here. (Thanks to Dean Esmay). I have to confess, one of my goals ...

A (condensed and edited) Conversation from Nuestra Casa

Thursday, August 3rd, 2006

My SU will likely have a different perspective on this, but she will be wrong. SU: So, the blogger bash is this weekend, huh? C: Yup. SU: Who'll be there? C: Most of the folks in the comments, and probably a few we don't expect. SU: Like who? C: ...

Pre-Bash Bash (Sort Of)

Thursday, August 3rd, 2006

Tonight, I had to good fortune to sit down with my nemesis, Matt Singer of Left in the West and have a couple of beers. For those of you who, at around 5:00, felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, that's ...
