I thought I’d listen to NPR on my way in to work today so I’d get caught up on the current events (yeah, I just wanted an excuse to use my new scare quotes icons 🙂 ). I couldn’t remember the location of the station, so I was scanning up the dial and ran across…

Not much to share this week, a whole bunch of work sandwiched between 2 weekend mini-vacations = not much web surfing or reading. The fellow who integrated Smarty into b2 has developed an installer script for it now. Very cool stuff. I’ve been thinking about writing a similar script for my web based applications. Here…

Why aren’t US politicians as eloquent as Tony Blair. He even speaks to my slipperly-slope concern – something I haven’t heard mention of here in the US.

I’m having trouble with the "Now that the war has started, we should support the troops" attitude. I don’t hold the soliders accountable personally for the invasion, I understand the soliders role and place the blame squarely on our leaders for the direction we are taking. I don’t want the soldiers to be hurt or…

Michael Moore has an open letter to the president that is a worthy read. I’m still not sure why we are going to go invade Iraq. [Note, war just started.] Aaron Swartz has some good words. Bill has also been blogging about the oil-war. I tend to agree with Enjelani’s fence straddling. I want to…

We just finished the 2003 draft for my keeper league. I think I did ok, although I know I made some mistakes since I wasn’t at all prepared. I’ve put up the info for the 2003 Delta Six league as well now that the draft for my league is completed. As you can see, I…

After using SpamCop for the past few months with moderate success, I’m moving to bayespam and changing from POP3 to IMAP. After all the reading I’ve done on the subject, I’m excited to see how this works out. Once bayespam has learned about spam, we’re going to see if we can teach it to auto-organize…

Eric has pulled together a nice collection of links that digital photo enthusiasts will find useful. This is one of the reasons I’m not running Windows XP on any of my boxes. Well, that and the fact I don’t have Windows XP. 😛 Food for thought about e-mail and development practices… most of you probably…

I made a small change in my golf swing and I seem to have added about 20 yards per club. This is a very strange feeling. I hit over 6 greens including 2 into the water behind the green in my first round since making this tweak. Kind of a happy frustration on the golf…

Dave Kindred at the Sporting News gets it right in his article… an admission and an apology are the right thing to do, but rules are still rules and actions have consequences – end of story.

The Mariners and the Diamondbacks played to a 6-6 tie today… what do they think this is, the All-Star game?

I’ve noticed this problem in NetNewsWire as well. I first noticed it after downloading the version that claimed to have relative URL support. I hope it is just a bug that will be fixed – I reported it as such. Noel Jackson has posted a cool script for automatically uploading your NetNewsWire sites to an…

We had the draft for the 2003 Delta Six league last night. A bunch of guys were drafted that I hadn’t even heard of before – youngsters I guess (hope?)… I think I did ok. My hitting was fairly set, I picked up a bunch of starting pitchers early and some decent bats later. I…

Watch it the three times, you’ll be hooked. (Was that too cryptic? It‘s a TV show.)

I wonder if the TV coverage of The Masters this year will include actual golf? And an Atlanta member of the New Black Panther Party has requested permission to demonstrate in Augusta next week. "He wants to protest against the triviality of this whole protest" surrounding Augusta National, Powell said. "He says there are lots…
