I started out with technology in the early 90's and never stopped. Now starting to get back to my roots.

In the meantime I have owned an IT business, served in the military, wrote a book and a bunch of other stuff.

I have other stuff you can see from here..

  • US House to vote on bill to make daylight saving time permanent

  • Seattle. Twilight follows sunset for a time.

  • Agreed. After living most of my life in the PNW, having summer twilight as late as 10 PM was terrible.

  • There’s a certain irony in the fact that a library IS a repository for knowledge. So we are so much better suited to keep control of the world?

    Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon says markets are in 'greed' mode as AI companies seek billions

  • Fear. There’s a Greed/Fear index. Never buy in greed. Buy in fear. Obviously carries a great deal of risk but if the sun keeps coming up in the morning it’ll work itself out eventually.

    I'm guessing 1970. What do you think?

    Jump

  • I was thinking late 60’s but I saw the grounded wall receptacle and I’m leaning toward early 70’s.

  • Air Force bans smart glasses for troops in uniform

    Jump

  • Smart glasses weren’t already banned?! Sweet Baby Yoda…

  • Consumer hardware is no longer a priority for manufacturers

    Jump

  • Probably because the hardware is going into systems that eliminate jobs and we become broke. All that gear is gonna sit on the shelf if we can’t afford it.

  • The Military Is Being Forced to Plan for an Unthinkable Betrayal

    Jump

  • That is true but he didn’t declare war so he didn’t break the law. I WISH that we’re breaking the law but the fact is Congress has abdicated that responsibility and there is precedent to support the executive killing people with the use of the military.

    We need Congress to stand up for itself and revoke the ability to abuse the use of the armed forces, by making laws that have consequences and enforce those consequences on any executive who breaks them, even if they’re in the majority’s party.

  • The Military Is Being Forced to Plan for an Unthinkable Betrayal

    Jump

  • Congress has largely looked the other way for some 50 years as far as war powers go (along with a lot more of its exclusive power). Worse yet while there is text to say that the executive will execute the laws created by congress, they largely pick and choose the laws they enforce and to what degree, which is constantly ignored (especially when the executive and majority in congress share the same party).

    We now have a situation where the executive sees how loose the responsibility and accountability congress wields, and now decides to violate the norms and there no standard for congress to follow. Congress all seem to be looking at each other shrugging, while rank and file military see nothing in a future of pain and loss for standing up to do the right thing because ultimately nobody has thier backs.

  • I only wish treaties were upheld as laws are but we have a long history of treaties being broken and no trial took place other than a trial of arms. If only we had an international court, unanimously agreed upon by the nations of the world.

    Jump

  • What’s the illegal order then? Is it illegal to attack an ally because you want something they have? There probably isn’t a law against that specifically, and if there is, how are service members going to know that?

  • Senate Democrats point fingers after failed tariff vote

    Jump

  • The only reason democrats lose is because of democrats. They screw up a good thing more times than I can count.

    They do it with such regularity that republicans can now be the boldest of assholes and consistently deliver on their obviously heinous plans.

    I think the bicycle/stick meme was based on democrats.
