Story Time…
OK, it was late and I couldn’t sleep. So, I stayed up into the wee hours writing a story. Why not. It is called “Story 2912” and I have no clue what it is about yet. But hope you like it 😀

Fort Hood, A Profile of One
I read this article by Steve Chapman, cautioning folks to not denounce the Muslim community because of extremists, and I think it bears repeating. America has over 900 hate-based organizations. One of the major categories includes “Christian-based” hate groups that cause violence at abortion clinics, harass non-white ethnicities, and tell gays and lesbians, “God has a

Cloud-SaaS-ASP-ness
For those who want more than a blurred definition of “Cloud Computing,” might I suggest a healthy read: 8 myths of cloud computing, by Tarak Modi. Tarak and I go way back. OK, no we don’t, but I did enjoy the article and for those of you who don’t have time for the whole thing… it’s

Purple & Green
Maybe there are some places where it is not easy to be green. Here doesn’t seem to be one.
Spring Bumper Pollination
I thought I would take a few shots of Spring greenery from the bus stop because I thought the colors were fun, but as I was taken the second shot, I heard a series of sound effects. It went Honkkk! Shhhh! Crack! Shhhh! Crunch! Crackle! Pop! Pop! That wasn’t breakfast

DDO Gumballs
Dungeons & Dragons Online has gumballs. Usually they hover like giant out-of-reach candies. But, occassionally, if your Royal Guard Mask fails (or if you fall while fighting in the original dragon raid), you can catch one in your clutches!!
Progress…
I just saw a hysterical advertisement in the May issue of “The Week” magazine. It is entitled “Progress is Overrated” and it argues about how progress hasn’t done us any favors, so that’s why Post cereal has kept the recipe for Shredded Wheat the same for 117 years. What sealed the deal was the tag
