Ok, so we’re into week 3 of Kilted to Kick Cancer, and you guys have donated… nothing. I’m going to blame myself for obviously not promoting it enough, and not having anything nifty to give away. A few folks on GBC have suggested that I threaten you with pictures of me in nothing *but* a… Read More »
Last week I mentioned that I listen to audio books when I walk the dog or run. I finished up Purple Cow and moved on to Seth Godin’s most famous work, Tribes. I’m about three quarters of the way through it, but the other day I heard him say this: A fundamentalist is a person… Read More »
I know… I know… every time you turn around, you see the people bickering about whether you should open carry or concealed carry, but I rarely see one argument for open carry… normalization of guns in the public eye.

Because I can’t forget. CNN, however, would love for you to forget. Kudos to the for referring to the Family Research Council shooter as a terrorist. Negative kudos for trying to use today to paint anyone to the right of Lenin as a possible terrorist in waiting.
For a couple years now, I’ve carried an INOVA Microlight on my keychain. Handy little light, but at 6 lumen on the bright setting, not very bright. While i have several other flashlights around the house and in the cars, they’re all a little too big for me to slip into my pocket with all… Read More »
Kevin at Lowering The Bar, commenting on the USAir Bomb Hoax: Note that no one involved seems to have taken the position that, hey, nothing to worry about, because even if this is true he’ll never get past the TSA with liquid explosives; that’s a crack team on which we can safely rely.
