”Peaceful” Protest

Presenting: The REAL face of the peace movement… Perry Valentine takes one for the team.

And this is no isolated incident. It generally happens whenever you try to protest or counter-protest against the socialist types. Just look at some clips on ProtestWarrior.

Apparently violence is ok if it suppresses opposing view. Hmm. Why does this [...]

Ketchup

“A lot of people take ketchup really, really seriously,” Zachary says. “Michael Moore makes a film that criticizes the president, and he gets an award at Cannes. I make a bottle of ketchup, and I’m labeled as divisive.”

Mmmm. Tomatoey.

Voter’s Guide for Serious Catholics

Anyone out there call themselves “Catholic”? How about putting some action behind that honorable label. You should read the Voter’s Guide for Serious Catholics.

Read. Not skim.

Orkut

Whoohoo! I finally got an Orkut accout! Hopefully this leads to a Gmail invite. If you know me and would like an invite (sorry if I missed you), let me know.

Update 8/29: Uh… WTF? I tried to log in to my Orkut account today, and I get “login failed: invalid password”. I’m certain I’ve [...]

Garden State

It seems really odd to me to be posting this here, but I just can’t stop thinking about this film and wanted to say some things about it. I haven’t seen it yet, but the trailer gives me goosebumps like few films have. Zach Braff has this geek quality that I think kind of rings [...]

D-Link DWL-122 and Kernel 2.6

I recently purchased the DWL-122 USB key WiFi device so that my Zaurus would finally get some decent internet access. I was going to pick up the Hawking Technology key instead, but the D-Link wasn’t much more expensive, has a 40mw transmitter, and given the brand name, I figured it would be a pretty good [...]

Werdz er fun.

fe·cun·di·ty: 1. The quality or power of producing abundantly; fruitfulness or fertility. 2. Productive or creative power: fecundity of the mind. I gets my grammer from Kids in the Hall. I know. Not really “Humor” but I didn’t know where to put it just yet. I just felt the need to share this word with [...]

The Real John Kerry.

Dispite hundreds of softball interviews, multiple primary wins, a Democratic National Convention, and phenomenal media coverage, the liberal media keep claiming that the voters still don’t know who John Kerry really is. So I’m here to help: Here’s two excellent sites explaining who John Kerry really is: Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and The Kerry [...]

MythTV Project

I’ve had an ongoing project for probably more than a year now to build a permanent MythTV box. It’s pretty easy to set up if you use Fedora Core 1 (WITHOUT the KDE upgrades). Just follow this MythTV HowTo, which includes the info on how to avoid installing KDE updates.

Twin Paradox SolarExpress PDA

So I’ve really been wanting one of these to connect my N400 with SprintPCS Vision service to my Z so that I can finally browse the web and listen to internet radio wirelessly, anywhere. The annoying thing is that Twin Paradox has delayed to release of the SolarExpress PDA repeatedly until the following month for [...]
