Today, Porter Goss, the head of the CIA, resigned suddently or abruptly quit (depending on how you view it) for no apparant reason. News sources are saying it might be because his role and importance have been diminished in the post 9/11 restructuring (as now the head of the CIA answers to the National Intelligence […]
For a few weeks now, I’ve wanted to post video clips to my site like others have (Chris, etc) but thought I needed a plug-in. Silly me. Turns out there is object code at the bottom of each video clip page, at least on YouTube, and I just never happened to scroll before. I am […]
Neil Young’s new album Living With War is available on the ‘Net right now. Even if you aren’t a huge Neil fan (I’m not), the songs and especially the lyrics are powerful enough for you to pull up the album, turn on your speakers or plug in some headphone and lisen to them. “After the […]

My friend Sam told me about DotNetNuke, a fully customizable and scalable open source web platform that I deem cool enough to share. It is exactly what I was looking for as I have been trying to figure out how to help my friend Steven take his Democratic Lawyer Council org to the proverbial next […]
An easter egg has been discovered on JetBlue’s web site. If you go to their route map page, select a route, hold down the “control” and type the letters p-b-j you get a “Family Guy” clip where Brian is doing the “Peanut Butter Jelly Time” dance. There is a debate going on in my office […]
An article on Slate talks about how high ranking officials and former generals are fed up with Donald Rumsfeld and how their voices are starting to echo and gather weight behind them. You’ve got to love an article, and the state of our country, our military and our foreign policy, when said article starts with […]
This game featured one of the all-time classic NY sports moments – the famous Bill Buckner error (though everyone seems to forget that 3 singles and a wild pitch proceeded that momentous event). To pay homage to it, somebody reenacted the bottom of the 10th inning of the 1986 World Series using the classic NES […]
