What were you doing last Wednesday night? If you’re like Bo Bai of Sunnyvale, CA, you were driving in Bedford Hills, NY, when your GPS unit told you to turn right. So you turned right, even though it was a railroad track you were turning onto.

Geez, I don’t know why we do this. We are all so sensitive in this country, the United States. We try so hard not to discriminate against women. We don’t like when we see discrimination against minorities. We even have federal laws that protect us from such behavior. All good stuff.
But what about the white [...]

I just finished writing my blog entry about a middle school handing out contraceptives to 11-year-olds. And now I’m writing about another equally ridiculous program being considered in San Francisco.
On Thursday, October 18, the San Francisco public health department co-sponsored a symposium about a site in Vancouver where 700 users a day inject narcotics under [...]

Sometimes I find it hard to be proud to be an American. Alright, well, perhaps that’s too strong a statement. But it sure is my initial reaction when I hear about these unbelievable stories of policies here in the United States.
On Wednesday, October 17, the Portland (Maine) School Committee approved a plan to distribute contraceptives [...]

The immortal words of U.S. Senator Larry Craig, of Idaho, rang throughout the nation yesterday.

There was much controversy [...]

There are many conflicting opinions about HTML e-mail, how effective it is, how secure it is, and if it should even be used. HTML e-mail should absolutely never be used, for several reasons:

Not everyone uses it. Every e-mail user can view plain text e-mails. 100%. The same cannot be said for HTML e-mail. No matter [...]

Holy crap! We’re in the middle of a major project in De Pere to build a new bridge over the Fox River. The existing Claude Allouez Bridge is 75 years old and needs to be replaced. It’s taken us a decade of talking and debating to get to where we are now. As a result, [...]

Alright, immigration is a hot topic now-a-days, and we’ve been putting up with these so-called “immigration rallies” in the past year, but now I’m just offended.
According to the quotes I’m reading, the participants are just flat out wrong. Here’s a quote from a Houston Chronicle article:
“We are not criminals,” said Roberto Organo, an illegal immigrant [...]

Today is election day here in De Pere, Wisconsin. Many folks around these parts don’t even know that. This is one of those election days without any major/controversial issue or office on the ballot.
Our neighbors to the north, in Green Bay, have a couple of interesting questions on their ballot. They are deciding if they [...]

If you haven’t seen it yet, you’ve got to check out WFRV.com. This is our local CBS affilliate (owned by CBS) in northeast Wisconsin, and their web site was recently rebuilt.
