McCain and Huckabee in cahoots

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

Until a few months ago I had a lot of respect for John McCain.  I disagreed with a lot of his stances but there wasn’t anything that made me really dislike him.  However, as this campaign has gone on I have realized just how hypocritical, conniving, and insincere he is.  In New Hampshire, John McCain [...]

The voucher program was handily voted down yesterday and still proponents of vouchers are not recognizing the problems in the bill, their marketing, and their entire approach to the situation.  It is this lack of an ability to admit fault that caused it to be such a landslide defeat even with the pro-voucher side spending [...]

Last word on vouchers

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

I decided to devote one more post on vouchers as I have seen lies on both sides flying back and forth. One of the most frustrating things I have seen is some very disingenuous pro-voucher comments. One moment the ads, blogs, or fliers are trying to convince people that the vouchers will not [...]

More on vouchers

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

So every other Utah county technology blogger seems to be full swing into pushing the vouchers.  Seems to be a connection with the tech sector and the fact that Patrick Byrne is bankrolling the pro-voucher group.  Everyone must feel a kinship.  Anyway, a few more thoughts from comments I have heard from several people.  One [...]

My take on the dead horse

Saturday, October 27th, 2007

People around the state of Utah are going crazy over the voucher issue and I decided that I will throw in a few thoughts.  The main thing that I want to point out is that both sides have lately been trying to convince people that the issue is simple.  Anyone who knows anything about legislation [...]

And Blackberry does it again

Friday, September 7th, 2007

My colleague (Jeff Jordan) and I were talking about his Blackberry not receiving emails today and I realized I had not received any today on my phone either.  That is a strange coincidence since I have AT&T and he has TMobile.  Anyway, looks like there is another outage.  Guess you shouldn’t say things won’t happen [...]

Integrity monster strikes again

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

This morning I found a huge wet spot on the side of our property and discovered that our neighbors probably have a broken sprinkler line that was seeping into our yard and the ground is sagging. Our neighbors just sold their home yesterday and so I called their realtor. I let him know [...]

Share your projects

Monday, July 30th, 2007

Over the past several months I have worked on a site called projectoid.com.  This site allows you to post, collaborate, extend, and browse for projects ranging from scientific experiments to do-it-yourself home projects.  It has similarities to instructables.com, but it allows you to start and finish your project on the site and to find help [...]

CNN/Bill Schneider must be stupid

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

I was reading an article today on CNN about the democratic race and ran into some verbage that floored me.  How a liberal outfit like CNN let this one go through the filter is amazing.  I was just reading a long and wham here is what I found.
“But Clinton is not the only candidate who [...]

Another cnn.com blunder

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

I just love to point out how bad the editors of CNN.com are.  Here is another headline mistake I found tonight “SI: Gambling scandal may NBA’s biggest crisis”.  I have come to the conclusion now that this multi million dollar company does not even read their headlines before posting them.  That error is just blatantly [...]
