Yesterday there was some conference or something. Guy that sits next to me spent most of the morning reading Engadget and watching some presentation by that guy that’s not Steve Jobs. Him: OMG! The new versions of iOS and OSX will allow you to answer phone calls on your computer!!! Me: Oh, like Google Voice?… Read More »

I went almost a month between my last two posts. Hopefully that won’t happen again (although I’m two sentences in to this and have already had to stop a half dozen times to deal with either the tactical dog or lilwizard, or both). Mostly I’ve been chasing down a problem at work that had a… Read More »
We often see failures in the victim selection process, but this one really takes the cake. You see, our intrepid young entrepreneur decided to get some capital for his new street corner pharmacy by using an online ad to lure unsuspecting citizens into a robbery.

David Codrea had an article in The Examiner over the weekend about the FAA issuing what’s called a TFR for the Gold Butte area. A TFR (Temporary Flight Restriction) is basically a domestic no fly zone, and are usually limited to things like disaster zones, Presidential/Vice Presidential visits, and rocketry.

After the ARFCOM shoot last month, I’ve almost got myself convinced that I should buy one of these: And that wasn’t the only one there: Before and after shots. Note the flap at the front of shooting mat, and the amount of grass on the shooters in the two pics. BTW, when I shot it,… Read More »

Happened two more times after that before the battery died. Luckily I was smart enough to not get… Read More »
On 3/22/14, James (he of Bidet Shoot Fame) and I went to the AR-15.com Tennessee Hometown Forum Spring Shoot put on by Precision Multigun in Cookeville, TN. It was fantastic, problems with my new Remington 700 notwithstanding. There are actually several ranges on the property. The first one we went to had a 230 yard… Read More »
Alternate title: Why you need BUIS 😀 This rifle was one of the ones at the ARFCOM TN shoot. Pretty, ain’t she? Slidefire, Magpul MVG, Magpul MOE Handguard. Beautiful. But there’s a problem. The EOTech (either an XPS2 or an XPS3, I can’t tell) had it’s lower piece of glass just kind of banging around… Read More »
