The Kindle 2
Well I've had my Kindle 2 for almost a month now. I figure that's enough time to get used to it and really have a feel for what I like and don't like. I should let you know where I am starting from first. I have been reading e-books for several years. I have been almost exclusively reading them for 3 years. I still pick up dead tree books for ( Read more... ) -

Addressing tiarala from Twitter
"@MrBobaFett I'm curious about the appeal of the Kindle as a techie who totally doesn't get it. Why do you want one?"
I guess this has at least two parts to the answer. The first part is the general, why e-books? If you're not already excited about e-books then an e-reader probably isn't very interesting. I love e- ( Read more... ) -

How many times can a man turn his head, Pretending he just doesn't see?
On Friday Democracy Now! aired a segment that everyone should see. I would recomend not watching or listening while at work. I was listening to the podcast and found it very hard to maintain my composure and keep working. It is heart wrenching, the video is even more painful.
They re-aired the live TV footage from Isreali Channel 10 News when ( Read more... ) -
Gun Free Zones
This is a few years old but still an amusing look Gun Free Zones. Beware the power of signs! They are also good for keeping people off your lawn I'm told. -
Felica Day's Guild
If you are a gaming geek and you have not yet seen The Guild then you are missing out. If you have seen it before and were not aware there is now a season 2 of it running. You can see delayed episode on the website thru their flash player, or you can download them for free as soon as they come out from the Zune store.
Also it turns out that ( Read more... ) -
MLK Jr
OK so I shouldn't listen to Martin Luther King Jr speeches while I am at work. It doesn't matter how many time I hear his Beyond Vietnam speech, I still cry everytime. Then one year later minus a day he spoke for the last time before a group of striking garbage men. His evocation of the parable of the good Samaritin is crushingly effective. I ( Read more... ) -

This is why I don't "stand with Israel", people like Mordechai Eliyahu. By his logic I am guilty of torture. I guess all non Jewish Germans are also Nazi's. Neither state is worthy of (no state is) blind support. However those civilians in Gaza are no more guilty of the rocket attacks, than those random civilians in Israel who are hurt by the ( Read more... ) -
