I’m not very good at that game.
“It’s time to stop pretending that practical expertise at anything can take place...”
– Merlin “The” Mann.
Boy-o-boy do I like the direction Merlin is taking with his wonderful 43folders. And as much as I wish being good (let alone great) were easier, Merlin’s right.
WatchNot quite how I would have done this up, but glad to see someone has taken up the cause!
Please note that in my own personal opinion, laughing about this incident is about the only thing that can be done. It shows both the lack of respect America has today abroad, especially in Iraq, and a lack of comprehension of what America has accomplished in Iraq. For example, this journalist is still...
WatchSorry for this string of videos I’ve been posting lately, but I just came across this video on Vimeo. I wish I could begin to convey to some of my older family members how ground-breaking this engagement by Pres. Elect Obama really is, but I don’t know if they’ll ever really get it. This is where Obama will be posting his weekly addresses, at least for time being.
WatchGorgeous time-lapse video of an ice-breaker rolling around in Antarctica.
“If you’re concerned that you may have published a statement on your blog...”
– An excerpt from The Bloggers’ FAQ over at the EFF. I have yet to receive any complaints about posted content on this site, but I thought sharing my modus operandi for this blog wouldn’t hurt…
When I post content on this blog, I include an excerpt only, as well as any commentary...

I couldn’t have said it better myself. ArborFest is a blast, and I fully plan on doing the load-in and load-out again. This will be my third year doing it, perhaps enough that one or two of the brewers will remember me and pass a little thanks my way, hint, hint! But if not,...

Team Hoffoss (hey, that’s us!) play on the odd draws. We lost our first game this morning, making our record 1-2 so far, with four more to play, after walking in the door...
“The team of John Hoffoss (Minneapolis) and Senja Lopac (Champlin, Minn.) got...”
– Terri Kolesar wrote it up best!
Posting scores for all four was too much work. Perhaps tomorrow?
“SonicWALL apologizes for any inconveniences to our customers caused by this...”
– SonicWALL’s apology for their shit getting fucked. I seriously hope no customers of SonicWALL were compromised due to their devices’ failing open yesterday. In the world of big-ess-Security, this is a seriously Bad Thing.
Why in the world would anyone think this model makes sense:

“Ira Glass could host story-offs where people share their best personal story on...”
– Ed Kohler
“Above all else, write secure web applications.”
– George Reese, over at O’Reilly Broadcast, on securing applications in the cloud.
Uh, George, that entire list applies to all systems and applications, not just cloud-based computing. Thanks for the tips though, now get onto the 1,000 posts that will actually help a poor developer implement...
