Just remember, some guy in Brighton thinks he knows better than you. Invoking the “For the Children” mantra, Representative Chris Ward of Brighton introduced a bill to ban shipments of wine both in-state and into the state. All shipments would be banned unless, of course, you pay for a distributorship. Good luck getting one though. […]
Aside from the pretty pictures and faux spy-craft, I don’t see a market for earth.google.com. I’m not saying I won’t play with it, I just don’t see where they make money from me. Maybe all will be clear when I can install it (damn lowest privileged user account!). Google Earth – Home
With the Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes distraction going on (I refuse to link to that idiocy), I figured War of the Worlds would suck. But if Spielberg is comparing his movie to 9/11… wow, that’s gotta be one hell of a stinker of a movie.

Local officials, not federal judges, know best in deciding whether a development project will benefit the community, justices said. The test was whether city officials know better […]
This is an interesting dilemma. If I subscribed to the a magazine with an ethics column, I’d suggest this as a topic. Joe Welinske (who, in full disclosure, I am not a big fan), has started a Yahoo! Group called Reform STC. The group is a place where STC members past and present can discuss […]
Is Firefox the greatest browser or what? The extensions are the best part of the browser, making it a real tool, and an ever-adpatable one at that. Take this extension for instance, ScrapBook. Highlight a section of a page, right-click and save the clipping locally. Never loose that snipet of information or the source. Very […]
