What's Your Problem with the Public Option
Thu Aug 27, 2009 10:54 AM EDT
Health Care reform is a hot button issue right now and it seems to me that a lot of people are angry about the public option without really providing a good reason why they dislike it.

Where Have All the Protests Gone?
Wed Aug 26, 2009 8:54 AM EDT
Do you remember when people were angry that we are at war? You know, 10 months ago when protesters were out in front of the US Capital and the presidents house yelling and demanding that we bring the boys back home; that we end this war? It seemed you couldn't turn on the news …

Leave the AIG Bonuses Alone
Wed Mar 18, 2009 10:34 AM EDT
I was opposed as anyone to the Bank Bailout but now that it has happened we need to just suck it up and move on. The constant whining I've been seeing regarding the apx 120 million in bonuses AIG handed out is a waste of time and breath.

Legalize Marijuana? Or Not?
Tue Mar 3, 2009 10:21 AM EST
While it is true that it is getting more expensive and ever more difficult to find a place to do so adults in the US can legally smoke tobacco but they can't do the same for marijuana.

I'm Not Feeling Stimulated by the Stimulus Plan
Tue Feb 10, 2009 2:16 PM EST
Our federal government is attempting to craft an economic stimulus plan that ends up spending about $550 billion while, at the same time, providing tax relief of around $275 billion. That is a serious amount of money to be investing. Too bad we don't have it.

A Better Kindle Still Isn't Great
Tue Feb 10, 2009 10:25 AM EST
When the first Kindle came out it inspired in me a sense of ugh. It was hideous to look at with an awkward appearing keyboard and hugely obtrusive buttons along the sides.

More Mint is Good Mint
Wed Feb 4, 2009 5:03 PM EST
You may recall, in the past, that I discussed the personal finance tracking website, Mint.com. I really liked it then and I still really like it (though, it is true that I like some things about yodlee.com better).

Indie Rock Spotlight - The Dresden Dolls
Thu Jan 8, 2009 2:39 PM EST
I have to confess that I really let this series fall apart. I had wanted to pen an article each week but I guess I'm just too lazy for even that simple of a self assignment. Thus I will now promise to write one whenever I am really feeling a band.

Google Video Chat - Nice but Still Rough
Thu Nov 13, 2008 3:31 PM EST
I tried out Google Video Chat today with a co-worker in the same office as me. It was rumored by some that the client would establish a direct connection (peer-to-peer) between the two chatting parties but I don't think one is.

McCain - Why I Didn't Vote For You
Wed Nov 5, 2008 11:31 AM EST
Mr. McCain, In your concession speech, you mentioned many things, one among them was the rhetorical statement, "I don't know what else we could have done to win". I'd like to take this opportunity to mention a few things you could have done that would have swayed some of us:

NFL - 2008 Week 4 Predictions
Sun Sep 28, 2008 9:26 AM EDT
Sadly, I just haven't had any time to write these down this week - so I will have to bypass my normal mocking commentary on each game and instead just keep this clean and simple.. Stright up picks. Hopefully, I'll get a real article out next week.

Quite Simply, The Bailout is a Mistake
Fri Sep 26, 2008 8:15 AM EDT
Unlike some people I don't forsee the Dark Ages should the bailout not happen; rather, I see the capitalistic system that our economy was built on doing its job.

NFL - 2008 Week 3 Predictions
Thu Sep 18, 2008 1:48 PM EDT
I thought last week was ugly when I went 9-7 yet, somehow, this week I did even worse with a pitiful 8-7 record. I take solace in the hope that I would have gotten the Texans Ravens game right and thus matched week one.

"Link Love" Encourages Spam
Thu May 29, 2008 10:16 AM EDT
I love to know folks are reading my articles and, on the surface, Link Love seems like a great idea. It is basically taking a tip from the blogosphere and implementing a technology called "trackback" or "pingbacks" where you are informed when someone else links to your blog post.

They were partially finished - Life has gotten very busy lately so I didn't even have time to finish what I started. In fact I only finished one pick. I'll publish it (it was wrong) along with my MNF pick for this week.
I will get back on the ball next week!
