It amazes me (but perhaps it shouldn’t) that for the last couple of weeks, the major news media outlets have done their best to participate in a last-minute October surprise favoring John Kerry. In all cases, the media themselves have reported they were holding on to the stories until closer …
A refreshingly even-handed take on polling in political races. The truth is that, should President Bush win re-election, as most polling firms are projecting, it will not be by much. Therefore you can expect another knock-down, drag-out fight by Democrats and their army of attorneys. The winners will be the …
My friend Chris sent me a link to this editorial. I think a few weeks ago Andy Rooney made a related point on 60 Minutes, although probably less trenchantly and without pertinent supporting data. His point was that if you haven’t bothered getting informed until now, do all of us …

Provided that by “future,” you mean “the future as it appeared from 2003.” This is the conundrum resulting from Fatal Time Deficit Syndrome. This blog has moved to WordPress 1.2.1, so I now maintain total control over my data. Blogger was nice for the fact that it didn’t require me …
One of the instructors at the Stick Seminar — and I won’t say who because I feel that the instructor’s words were passed to me in something approaching confidence — told me that there are too many Stick owners and not enough Stick players. I vow to always strive to …
For the rest of this week, I am at Red Hat in Tysons Corner for a RH 401 class in enterprise deployment and system management. I’m back with the same instructor from last month. She just moved here from Surrey (UK) but she’s actually Norwegian, originally. I am going to …
