More on Bluecoat Shenanigans

I wrote about BlueCoat blocking blogs on the 24th – Wired Magazine did it on the 28th – their story was much better than mine – I just beat them to the punch.

They even did a follow up – check it out right here!

Read their article if mine was even remotely interesting [...]

Run away! Run away!

Check out this article about the fault line that is in the pacific northwest – somehow it reminds me of this – whats your take?

The invincible MRAP

I received some amazing pictures of a MRAP that got hit by an IED. The truck hit a 500 pound explosive device – all occupants were able to walk away from the truck. The only injury to the occupants was to the driver who broke a few ribs on the steering wheel. The truck [...]

The end of global warming?

For quite some time I’ve thought that we didn’t have information to conclusively determine that humans are causing global warming and the contention that it is irreversible unless we change our carbon consuming habits.

Some interesting research has come out and it points to the idea that we may not be as involved as [...]

Politics and photos

John McCain is the guy leading the republican side of the race and Obama is in the lead on the other front.

I’ve been watching McCain for years and I’ve gotta say that I like him more than any of the other candidates. He has been under fire from conservatives because he isn’t conservative [...]
