Heh. Lee, you’re my favorite MoonBat. Seriously, it’s nice to have a reasonable discussion with opposing viewpoints, and not resort to name-calling and other silliness.

Cool Mac OS X Widget – xCuts

Posted by Rich on April 20, 2006 in Mac OS X

This looks useful… I’m always forgetting keyboard shortcuts that would save me time. xCuts: As amazing as it may seem, until now the Dashboard has been missing a key utility that will be especially welcome by recent Windows or Linux switchers as well as other newcomers to Mac OS X. xCuts finally puts a full [...]

Howard Dean engages in name calling

Posted by Rich on April 18, 2006 in Humor, Politics

I’m not sure he realizes it backfired. He’s got to be one of the best things the Republicans have going for them right now… Karl Rove really is an evil genius, the way he engineered Howard’s move into that role.

Michael Yon’s Frontline Forum is now available. I’ve followed Michael Yon’s dispatches from Iraq, he’s provided detailed information and insight into the daily heroism of our troops.

Profile of an amateur musician

Posted by Rich on April 9, 2006 in Entertainment, Politics

The New York Times has a fascinating article today about Condoleezza Rice’s love of music. The article was timely for me, as Alex is wanting to start violin lessons, and I’ve been thinking of getting back in practice, perhaps playing chamber music with friends, or the local community orchestra.

Posted by Rich on April 8, 2006 in War on Terror
