Back in April I came up with a list of “possibilities” for the Fall. Here’s a quick summary of how it’s developing:

Sea-kayak across the Bering Strait. Need to learn to kayak first. Corner the market in pork. Still trying to find a broker who won’t laugh at me. Walk across the country. Maybe later. Memorize War & [...]

As of yesterday, I now have dual monitors on my work computer. The primary one is a 17″ Dell Trinitron. The secondary (and new addition) is a little 14″ Dell flatscreen that’s been sitting around collecting dust. The beauty of this setup: I use a 4-port KVM switch to work on [...]

Two political entries in two days. This one from a Bush speech (or excerpts and commentary from the Washington Post, as the case may be):
