Cooling off out there tonight – high for tomorrow 49 versus 74 today.  Still not freezing though.  Too early for bed just yet, but I’m watching Ninja Nerd addressing heart failure drugs and how they all work.  Extremely interesting, but this lecture is 3 hours long, so I have to take it in about 20 minute increments.  Last night I… Read more »

Yes, Amazon announced the axing of the Smile program three weeks ago.

Many non-profits are taking it on the chin because of this.

It’s been a bad 3 years for most charities.

I’ve been using the Amazon Smile program to send my church donations as I made online purchases.  Today,  I see this notice: Dear customer, In 2013, we launched AmazonSmile to make it easier for customers to support their favorite charities. However, after almost a decade, the program has not grown to create the impact that we had originally hoped. With… Read more »

The Professor of all things Shipping gives his third and final report on the conflagration at the most important eastern Mediterranean port in Turkey. The Port at Iskenderun handles a half million containers a year. The earthquakes tumbled hundreds of containers which ignited.

Some great drone video and stills.

I’ve read the employee letter outlining grievances against O’Keefe, and I can certainly see how O’Keefe got that way.  He had to start out with a strong personality to do what he does, and his successes and his experiences with “in your face” experiences could certainly feed a certain God complex. Here’s hoping the board makes him go through some… Read more »

Is or is not Tedtam a white supremacist domestic terrorist?

I’ve met her a couple times and she definitely fits the profile. Scary mofo.

R.I.P. Burt Bacharach

Extraordinary songwriter.

I once saw a fantastic documentary on his long collaboration with Elvis Costello.

I’m confused now. Is or is not Tedtam a white supremacist domestic terrorist? It’s hard to keep up.

Yeah, I’d like to know m’self.

Wanna get the t-shirt printed up right.

Texpat that seems mighty cheap of Carbonite telling you to return the hard drive. Especially since their system can’t accommodate Windows to Mac transfers. When I paid for the data recovery of my failed hard drive with my entire technical library on it, I went back a few days later and picked up a new hard drive with all the… Read more »

Re Computer Muscle Memory: When I moved to Casablanca, I was given a company laptop before I left. It turned out that was very fortuitous. We use the QWERTY keyboard here in the U.S. I had no idea the French and others use the AZERTY keyboard. A younger engineer from one of our offices in Florida actually learned to type… Read more »

I don’t believe for one minute that the FBI is actually going to change their stripes because they got some backlash.

They’ll just sweep it under the rug and bring out the dogs and ponies to do their show.

That rug looks awful lumpy.

Still a beautiful day out there, but already seeming to be cooling as the shade is creeping across the yard.  I went ahead and zipped up the greenhouse and turned the lamp on even though it’s still showing over 70 degrees out there, but that should give it a chance to accumulate some heat and retain some humidity before it… Read more »

Retraining one’s mind and hands to automatically perform mindless keystrokes and mouse clicks on a Mac isn’t much different than learning to deal with the incessant Windows updates.

Screw Windows and the horse they they rode in on.

There are some pretty radical traditional Lutherans out there, which is why so many have left to form their own conservative organizations of Lutheran churches.

CitizenFreePress had extensive coverage yesterday on the Project Veritas situation. Including links to informative Twitter threads on the subject. I’m sure they’re still up if you want to check them out.

Supposedly, the board is supposed to make a final decision tomorrow about O’Keefe’s status.

Following my previous post is this: Products like this can be used to support the opening of information-only cases, and there is no reason to expect Radical-Traditionalist Catholics are the end point of this train track – they will be the beginning. Opening the door to associating white supremacists with traditional religious practices based on common Christian positions on abortion… Read more »

Texpat, as per your previous statement: While most Americans are familiar with criminal investigations, which explore the allegation or information that a crime has been committed, many are not familiar with intelligence investigations. In contrast to the linear nature of a criminal case, counterintelligence and counterterrorism cases follow a circular path that can continue indefinitely without any articulated goal. Indeed,… Read more »

Never thought of myself as a white supremacist.  I must’ve welcomed and/or walked several different races through their first Latin masses in the past year.

I guess I’m a badder a$$ than I originally thought.

Approaching 70 degrees out there with bright sunshine and no wind.  I opened up both sides of the greenhouse, watered everything a little bit, moved some things around, added some new things, and still have a little bit of left over space for more later.  I did as suggested and am planting a few new seeds every week or so… Read more »

With all the hype over the last many years, I would have thought the iMacs the two old geezers recently acquired would be reading their minds by now. I guess squack’s bubble being a little (lot?) off center extends to the ease of use-ness of personal computing devices. That, or there are a couple of geezers that are a little… Read more »

I’m about to try the treadmill.  The stick in the hip is gone, but the lower back feels stiff. I’ll go slowly and see what happens. I just feel better when I can work out.  Maybe I’ll pull out the saxophone and work on my core.  Nothing like playing a wind instrument (regularly) to tighten up the abs and lower… Read more »
