Stop it. Stop letting symbols control how you feel. There is a funny TV skit from an episode of Mad TV that many people should take to heart. It is about a woman with an irrational fear of being buried alive in a box and she is at at her doctors and explaining the problem. [...]

OMG I read the The Overton Window.

OMG! I admit it. I am busted. I purchased and read the book “The Overton Window” by Glenn Beck. I read many books. I love science fiction and “military” type books. This is scary stuff because it is written in the “present” and based on hundreds of actual references of true events. In a nutshell [...]

I have a real problem with this..

While looking at news today, I noticed an article about the Occupy Wall Street movement, but it had many pictures of other protests around the world. They are using the 99% phrase as is the protests in the U.S. I am led to believe that perhaps the protest organizers have some common items. Perhaps the [...]

Once again everyone is complaining about a new law. That short term quick fix of the deficit. You know where President Obama said months ago he would not support a quick fix. He signed the new Quick Fix that doesnt really reduce the deficit. Doesnt “really” reduce actual spending….Doesn’t really increase taxes…. Only allocates more [...]

The War within America

BacardE — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 16:28:55 +0000

The United States has formally declared war against foreign nations five separate times. Each upon prior request by the President of the United States. Wars are declared usually after hostile attacks on the United States have occurred. Wars are fought for pretty simple reasons. Power, influence, perhaps over resources. Or to even protect ones influence,power [...]

I have always been interested in radio. Not the broadcast AF/FM radio per se but RADIO propagation. How well radio waves travel, what effect frequency had on path loss etc. I have been a licensed Amateur Radio operator since I was 14. Integrating radio and computers is a dream fulfilled. I use a computer and [...]

I am a BIG BIG fan of instant streaming from Netflix. We have been using our XBOX 360 and WII to play netflix movies on our TV. We used to use a dedicated PC to play Netflix movies but I spied this item in Radio Shack. I have been looking at the Roku netplayer devices [...]

My experience with AT&T .. or how to get your DSL fixed..

BacardE — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 17:10:23 +0000

At home I have a AT&T “extreme” DSL service. It has been very reliable…until a couple of months ago. Now for some unknown reason I get sporadic disconnects and delays. I will be contacting AT&T and documenting their response and helpfulness. I expect to be very frustrated initallay going thru their “first level” tech support. [...]

Its apparent some politicians (GOP) did not get the message from Novembers elections….and they need to go..away… Eight GOP senators voted to preserve earmark spending, including Thad Cochran (Miss.), Susan Collins (Maine), James Inhofe (Okla.), Dick Lugar (Ind.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Richard Shelby (Ala.). Retiring Sen. George Voinovich (Ohio) and defeated Sen. Bob Bennett [...]
