Howard Stern’s problems with the FCC stem from a number of problems in this country: 1. Our elected officials are forgetting that they are public servants and not public masters. If you’ve got 20 million people listening day-in and day-out to your supposedly offensive radio show, that’s enough people to …
Spent most of the day Saturday moving my dad out of our family house which he just sold… therefore, was slightly sore today. ? But, after a quick but refreshing shower after returning home, I had an acoustic rehearsal (of sorts) with Leah at my house, in preparation for some …
I think I’m getting old… last night I couldn’t make it more than halfway through Robert Altman’s big-city epic Nashville. I was really interested but just couldn’t keep my eyes open. I refuse to be one of those people who drinks coffee after dinner to stay awake, so it was …

If you’ve tried to send me some e-mail from this page lately and it didn’t get through, try again. I found that I had inadvertently made a small error resetting my e-mail server a few weeks ago, so frields dot org was not accepting mail. It should work fine now. …
This is going to sound a little like an infomercial, but here goes anyway. I am what you would probably call a frustrated programmer. I did extremely well (grades of usually 100% or better) in computer science and programming classes, but I never got into the field formally. It hasn’t …
