I’ve reorganized things slightly, so that the root directory for Blosxom is http://vja2.net/. You can still view entries from /blog, though you’ll miss site announcements (like this one). Oh. Hrmm. If you’ve got links pointing to any entries they should be OK, since my personal entries are in the same place. Oh, I added a… Continue reading some housecleaning

GWB
Close-Up: The Mind of George W. Bush is an article in last month’s Atlantic Monthly about how the President makes decisions. It seems like a very thorough, well-researched look at the president, his background, and the skills he’s brought to the presidency. It also dovetails very nicely with Plan of Attack (Bob Woodward’s new book… Continue reading GWB
Bush to appoint healthcare IT czar
Computer World Article Information sharing is great and all, but I’m waiting for spam that says “click here” and have it be a medical records release. It simply doesn’t seem like enough thought has been put into this, and after the mess HIPAA made of things, I can’t see them being any better about this.… Continue reading Bush to appoint healthcare IT czar
It’s almost May
And I swear to god it’s snowing outside. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
Yet Another Catholic Article (YACA?)
Several catholic advocacy groups are unhappy about the church’s stance. Interestingly, Jeb Bush is catholic? How’d I grow up in Florida and not know that?
Grrr. Boo. Hiss.
The Vatican supports denying wayward politicians communion. Me saying, “I won’t attend church anymore” doesn’t mean much (I go to church rarely, and usually only when the mood strikes me). What I will do is write two churches I’m likely to attend (one at home, and another by my parents) and inquire as to how… Continue reading Grrr. Boo. Hiss.
playlist
REM has always been there when I’m feeling under the weather. And (relatively more recently), I’ve added Counting Crows to that list. Now, suddenly, I’m listening to showtunes. Go figure.
Just Another Empire
I just finished reading Just Another Empire by Mark Driver. The book is almost exactly what the tagline (Booze. Sex. Anarchy. Assassination. Burritos.) makes it out to be. Actually, it was mostly Booze and Burritos (with brief forays into anarchy and assassination). Driver is (and has been – at least since I started reading him… Continue reading Just Another Empire
Good Stuff
I’ve got an appropriate apple-related rant, which involves me yelling about data loss and the like – but I’m saving that for a special day (or, at least, a day that’s not this one). Anyway, today I thought I’d give you a list of software that rocks my socks! This list is pretty useless to… Continue reading Good Stuff
drunk!
I’ve had a few to drink – so, I’m in a fairly charitable mood. Unfortunately, when in one of these “charitable” moods, I really don’t have any othe recourse but to miss people. Said people are coming to visit next week – that makes me happy. It’s actually the highlight of my semester. It’s sad… Continue reading drunk!
