Mid February. (2004/03/09)
TaxCut has been saying, since early February, that the Minnesota state program update is expected “in mid February”.
[read more...]New shop stuff - bumper stickers! (2004/03/09)
I’m mostly apolitical. However, my friend Melony came up with a funny bumper sticker design, so here it is; the support the jobless recovery bumper sticker. In with all the other bumper stickers.
[read more...]Why Christianity implies support for legal gay marriages (2004/03/08)
So, for some reason, everyone seems to think that Christians are required to be opposed to gay marriages. Not so; in fact, so far as I can tell, Christianity suggests strongly that we ought to be supportive of them. There are a number of reasons for this.
[read more...]Happy leap day! (2004/02/29)
I remember fondly the leap year wars of the late 1990s. There were endless debates over whether or not 2000 would be a leap year. It was, of course.
[read more...]The lesson of the cheap TV (2004/02/20)
Okay, first things first: I don’t like Sony anymore. In the years since they made the TV I like, they’ve become a fairly nasty, evil, company, with a really strong commitment to screwing consumers.

Sorry for the downtime, folks. We have trial preparations, and there’s a lot of work to be done, and I can’t write about what I’m doing.
[read more...]Writer's Block Redux (2004/02/02)
Now I’m just stuck because I know roughly what I want to write about, but it’s too large and confusing to start all at once, and I may sort of need to take advantage of my mighty dual-boot system to do the actual writing work. Annoying! I sort of wish I hadn’t casually included “Unix-like environments running on Windows” in this article description.
