It’s odd
During the Clinton 90s anger with Clinton and the status quo seemed to manifest itself as a general anti-government feeling, with the “party of limited government” Republicans being the mechanism for the anger. That and a lot of demographic changes anyway. Now it seems like all the dissatisfaction is specifically anti-Bush.
We really need term limits more than ever

Nick agitates
And Wikipedia reponds. Registrations seems like a small price to pay.

A cooler part of the blogosphere
Mountain Runner– a good design and a lot of information. Where else can one find out about Somali Piracy, as well as more current info about the region?

Observation
I think the worst part of being homeless would be not being able to enjoy camping.

Of truly minor concern
As I sit here and watch the database do it’s magic, I have time to actually see what’s on my desk. Lo and behold there are two boxes of dental floss, one waxed, the other unwaxed. Naturally I decide to compare the two.
Waxed beats unwaxed in taste, feel and durability, it wasn’t even close in fact.
I’ll keep you appraised of any other important matters as they arise.

A quick one while uploading
- Make Magazine’s gift guide is pretty cool.
- Sexomnia? A bit ridiculous if you ask me. If it’s “often brought on by alcohol” how it different than intoxication?
- And from the same paper “Man Pleads Guilty In Horse-Sex Case“. The guy in question was videotaping the magic event, when evidently the horse kicked it’s human lover to death (or that was what I drew from the description). There are very strange people in the world, and they seem to find each other with great ease.

While I’m waiting
As my extraordinarily long SQL statement processes, here are some things I’ve been wanting to blog about
- A very funny morning
- An interesting article on the old (mostly 19th century) practice known as “Catch Wrestling“. It was the original predecessor to today’s pro wrestling, and was real. They mostly worked out of carnivals and consisted of extraordinarily tough men who could take on all comers.
- Bolivia is about to elect a president who promises to legalize coca production. That would be a much needed dose of reality for South America, and help to stop their slide into a continent of gangster states. Sadly he seems to be in the Chavez/Castro/Mussolini mold on everything else, so any gains would probably be wasted. It’s surprising that’s not getting more attention.
- A very good password generator.

Useful and soon to be obsolete

Technology is moving my way
Bluetooth coming to home phones? From Uniden. It seems horribly insecure (like all Bluetooth devices) but the lure of the wireless headset is powerful. At $200 a bit too expensive though.

Looks interesting
Another good tech podcast. It’s with Leo Laporte and someone I’ve never heard of. It’s called “Inside the Net” and it’s about the so-called Web 2.0 thing happening right now. Quite a lot of potential.
