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.

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!
and people wonder why I’m single
Apparently my idea of an action-packed saturday night is watching Law & Order: SVU reruns, and reading Roe v. Wade. Yee haw.
Salon Opinion Pieces and Aggravating “Journalism”
Salon recently published an opinion piece on recent happenings in the Pentagon Office of Special Plans (OSP). The author is a newly retired USAF lieutenant colonel, who worked in the OSP from May 2002 to February 2003 Salon is making the article free to viewers, because they “thought this story was just too important.” Indeed,… Continue reading Salon Opinion Pieces and Aggravating “Journalism”
