“I have it on pretty good information from the Marines on detail in Iraq that they showed him the movie last year. That’s really adding insult to injury. I bet that made him really happy,” Stone said.

Just a thought… If the best the Democrats can come up with for 2008 is Hillary Clinton, they can just kiss their chances at the White House goodbye.
Don’t get me wrong, I would really like to see a strong Democratic candidate for 2008. The Republicans have been doing so well for the simple reason that the Dems have been doing so poorly. Many of my fellow moderate Republicans are quite unhappy with the spending habits of the current administration and the pull the far right currently has on the party. Just give the moderates a option that we do not despise and they might just have a chance! :End Rant

The Graphing Calculator Story

Its a true story of an Apple programmer that decides to uncancel a project he was working on, and finish it under the radar and get Apple to publish it. I just reread it after hearing about it a few years back. If you are a geek or not this is an entertaining story.

So, I am sure most of you already know this, but I am guessing the new Desktops will be out today. I was at the local Geek Superstore (Frye’s) yesterday, and as I passed by the Apple section, I noticed the shelfs were all empty. They had one MBP and a black and white macBook on display, but all of the desktops and external monitors were gone. So, if anyone happens to see that the apple site is updated with the new loot, let me know.

10 years ago this market didn’t exist… Absolutely incredible!

After spending a time in New Orleans over the past few months and nearly having a mental breakdown of my own I totally understand this article. I vividly remember one of my first conversations with someone who had his whole life turned upside down by Katrina. I young guy my age with a family, a house in the suburbs, a young wife and a child. His house was under 10 feet of water and everything he had worked for was destroyed. This past weekend while talking to him I found out that when Katrina hit his wife was 8 months pregnant. Just imagine the stress of that whole situation. Today he has rebuilt a house on higher ground but continues to deal with insurance companies and endless paper work. Imagine the normal stress in your life compounded by such an experience that just drags on and on. Now imagine yourself in different shoes… already poor, not having insurance or the means to pick yourself back up. There are literally thousands of stories like this in New Orleans and most people have not been as fortunate as this one person I can now call a friend.

Here is another article aptly entitled: “It’s Worse Than You Think”
