I should really file this under humor, but that wouldn’t do justice to Clock Tower Law Group’s latest newsletter. (For those that don’t know, Erik Heels’s law firm has grown and is now known as Clock Tower Law Group.) In his newsletter he conveys more creative, informative news than I’ve seen in any five newsletters…

I found this article at the Philadelphia Inquirer an interesting analysis of how Kerry’s Iowa-or-bust strategy came to be interesting. I was at the Jefferson Jackson Dinner in Des Moines that is referenced in the article, and though I took some flak (putting it mildly) from some in the Kerry camp for understating Kerry’s numbers,…

Many thanks to a former co-worker, who sent me a “keep in touch” gift the other day: a Bill O’Reilly “No Spin Zone” coffee mug. When we’d be on the road together, this guy and I would regularly have a good go at each other. It was always good for a laugh. So I laughed…

Mathew Gross, the brains behind the Dean campaign blog as well as numerous other Internet programs, has left the campaign and is blogging at his own site. Mathew became a good friend of mine during the campaign (when I visited Burlington I slept on his couch) and I respect what he built, and perhaps more…

Just got a review copy of The Book on Bush from Viking, and started reading it last night. I’ll post my observations in the next few days.

Though there’s been nowhere near the blog coverage of his sentencing, you may recall that last April Mike Hawash, a naturalized American citizen and former Intel engineer, was arrested on terrorism charges. At the time, many (myself included) commented on the case and remarked on the Kafka-esque notions of a citizen being arrested (but not…

As I’ve tried to get my bearings with Linux (my first extended foray with Linux in over 5 years), I’ve run into countless situations where I was clueless not only to the fix to the problem, but to what exactly the problem itself was. For instance: I’m using KDE as my Linux desktop (tip #1…

Just upgraded my browser to the browser formerly known as Firebird (and now known as Firefox). It’s at version .8, and promises lots of bug fixes, minor UI enhancements, etc. I’m on a pretty creaky Linux box, and I have to say that .8 is noticeably faster than .7 was. Beyond that, I’ve not noticed…
