I’ve decided. My life’s ambition is to gain wisdom. Intelligence is illusory. I can read all the books in the world and know all the facts, but where does one find wisdom? Im not sure where I will find it, but it’s my Goal. I think it’s important to have a goal. Something like a…
The title of this article says: Court dismisses pledge suit. Just reading that title you might think the Supreme court said something about whether the words “under God” should be in the pledge of allegiance. They, in fact, did not. They said the plantiff was not the legal guardian of the little girl he was…
Why do I always have so much trouble with FTP? Now, Ive got a Sonicwall Tele3 which is working fine. But then I upgraded the firmware. And now the FTP is screwed. FTP PASV Bounce Attack being dropped every time I try to FTP. What a pain in the ass. Firewalls suck. Boooooooooo!

Katie always gets the funniest hats. Which hat do you think she should get next? Look at these.
Shortly after I wrote the previous blog, my boss gave me The Goal to read. Its a business book, but its written like a novel. Not bad so far. Should go quick. It states that every business can only have one goal. If your life had only one goal, what would it be? To be…
The best vice presidential candidate for John Kerry would be John Madden. He has gravitas and is loved by kids (Madden 2004 game players) and adults (Monday Night Football and Tough Actin Tinactin!). Pass it along. Does anyone know Kerry personally? Let him know.

Not that well written, but very well researched. Depressing because I was not born into the andover, yale, skull and bones tradition. I coulda been somebody! I…
I just bought this FTP server. Its so much nicer than any of the others Ive used. $50. Its worth it. Works with SSL for real security. Also, I just replaced my Microsoft mn-100 router with a Sonicwall Tele 3 SP. Its got all kinds of bells and whistles and works like a charm. GUI…
Sometimes you run into a website and it captures your imagination. Read the history of Monopoly and see if you feel the same way:
This is a “disruptive” technology. By this I mean that it will change the entire structure of how we currently deliver information from anywhere to anyone. Current structure: – Fiber Optic lines connect to copper lines to deliver phone service (long range). – Same copper lines deliver sub T-1 internet access (10 foot range) –…
Why is Al Gore screaming like a WWF wrestler? What happened to the dull know-it-all we elected president?
So we set in motion the plan to buy the Hercules house. If we are very lucky, it will double in value in a few months! Or a few years. Keep your fingers crossed. Also, Ethan rode his new bike this weekend. Its a 20″ bike and pretty heavy. He rode it about 4 miles…
When a politician or any public figure apologizes, then the public loses interest. It is the act of full disclosure that we love. Catching someone in the act doesn’t mean anything if they apologize. Arnold Schwarzenegger apologized for groping all those women and the public said ok. Clinton didn’t apologize for getting a BJ from…
