I wrote in this blog 4 weeks ago about Nancy Pelosi, about her thinking and her juvenile methods that go into her decision making. My thoughts were based on an interview with readers of Time Magazine.
Well, I must go back and write about that issue one more time. In the August 25, 2008 issue of [...]

A week ago, Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama met with Pastor Rick Warren at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, CA. Warren interviewed them each individually, asking them identical questions so that obvservers can get an accurate view of the differences between the two U.S. presidential candidates.
I finally got a chance to watch the [...]

I mentioned in a blog entry a few weeks back that at the annual Green Bay Packers Shareholders meeting, we filmed a commercial for Citgo after the meeting. They just needed some folks to stick around and mostly make up the crowd shots. So my friend JJ and I did that.
I just got a recording [...]

I’ve got some pretty slick score updates for the Anaheim Angels coming to my cell phone now-a-days. I’ve been subscribed to game updates through Yahoo Alerts for several years. Now I’ve set it up so that when an update is sent, it goes to a program on my web server first, which parses the text [...]

Had a busy weekend. I suppose the main thing I did was work on my duct tape camper. Yep, you read that right. My daughter and I are making a camper out of duct tape. And we’re going camping with it next weekend. No photos today, but not to worry, photos and videos are coming.

I don’t live off sarcasm often, but I just couldn’t help it with the title of this blog entry. Sorry.
Geez. Brett Favre left town today; he headed back home to Hattiesburg, MS. And the headlines on local 6:00 news indicate that Favre has played his last game for the Green Bay Packers. And now everyone [...]

The August 1, 2008 issue of The Compass has an article titled, “Priest shares insights on illegal immigration“, with a subtitle of “Fr. Rueter urges Catholics to look at economic issues behind illegal immigration.”
The overall tone of the article is nice. But unfortunately, it’s yet another example of a Catholic priest trying to appeal to [...]

One thing I can’t stand about many politicians is when they are asked a question, instead of actually answering the question, they give a half-assed response in order to just get past the question. And if that response happens to slam their opposing political party in the process, bonus points.
One such politician is Nancy Pelosi [...]

In the middle of July every year, I join my fellow Packers shareholders at the annual meeting. This year was no exception. I was at Lambeau Field a little more than a week ago, on Thursday July 23. I love this meeting.
Even though the tickets are all general admission, I always prefer to sit in [...]

The Brett Favre unretirement issue has been brewing for a few weeks now. And I have yet to write about it. As a Green Bay Packers shareholder and season ticket owner, I definitely have some strong feelings about what is right. And like all Packer fans, if you’re feelings are different than mine, then you’re [...]

Several weeks ago, I tried to buy a Dell laptop for my daughter who’s heading out to college this fall. I was on the Dell web site. I had a system selected, a Dell Latitude D830, all customized and ready for purchase. But the one thing I wanted that their web site was not allowing [...]

I’m finally getting a chance to write about this story from July 4. July was a very busy month for me, but this story has been on my mind, and I can’t write about anything else until I share this with you.
Back on the 4th of July, our newspapers all around this great country ran [...]
