    Adam Baldwin–Blogs Worth Reading! (and he is on Twitter, @adamsbaldwin)

    I wanted to take a few minutes and point out that Adam S Baldwin, actor, is also a blogger.  But not just any blogger.  He writes thoughtful, well argued pieces discussing politics, religion, and the human condition.  He does not...

    Pesky Tax Cuts expiring? What are they?

    Just yesterday an impromptu discussion in taxation and representation occured over at Community College Dean’s blog.  Apparently “anonymous‘s” comment was “uncalled for” when anonymous (in response to the question about including tax-payers in selecting a college’s Board of Trustees) suggested...

    A Background–In Science!

    For some reason I get a NaturalNews emailed newsletter, full of crack-pot ideas about food, and medications.  I went to read a story about diabetic care INCREASING the risk of death due to heart disease (go read the article.  It...


  • Politics of Fear? From which Party?

    Politics of Fear? From which Party?

    This election year is perhaps more strange than any other (and we have had some STRANGE ones!)  It used to be we would joke about the personalities of the candidates, and they ran on their policy ideas.  This year, they...

    Olympics Commercials and Old-style (Obama) Political Ads!

    iPhone Pricier?  Not Really

    (iPhone Experience, Pt 2) I had to chuckle.  Really.  Remember way back when, when I wrote that the iPhone was a bit over-priced, in my opinion?  It was funny at the time, really, considering that Scott Bourne, over at The...


  • Apple at Fault, not AT&T

    Apple at Fault, not AT&T

    As you no doubt have read, I have bought an iPhone.  This makes for the third iPhone in the family, and the first of the 3G variety.  I have replaced my Cingular 8525, which was a nice Windows Mobile phone. ...


  • Obama to look like McCain

    Obama to look like McCain

    Enough about the iPhone.  Back to politics. What a story.  The LA Times has reported that Obama’s political positions are moving more centrist, looking more and more like John McCain every day. The picture on the LA Times is even...

    Deceptive News Photos–Iran meets Star Trek

    Blending my two most recent themes, I was reminded today of a Star Trek:TOS episode “Court Martial” where the digital records on the Enterprise were modified to “Frame” Capt Kirk.  (Summary at Wikipedia) It was quite an interesting thought, back...
