Business, Culture, Writing, and Other Stuff
I'll be the first to admit I find sick things funny. I listen to metal music, which is wrapped with sick imagery, usually for the sake of shock value. I get it. However, Wife Beater brand clothes cross my own arbitrary line of what I can take. Maybe because I'm a victim of childhood abuse [...]
I've been thinking a while about the case of Google Books massive scanning project. It reminds me of the Harvester machines from Terminator Salvation. Google was hell-bent on acquiring books and it eventually became a battle between publishers and the Google Harvester. Publishers at least had the funds to hire attorneys and the ramifications of [...]
Allianz wants to sponsor an NFL stadium (see Company once tied to Nazis may name stadium) and the decision is causing some controversy. The New York Giants and New York Jets are considering awarding naming rights for their new stadium to a German company that once had ties to the Nazis. Officials from German-based Allianz [...]

Blue Security's controversial method uses reverse spam, if you will, returning massive quantities of opt-out [...]
In my last post about Katrina, I criticized the federal government a little for being slow. I've had some time to think and analyze some of the facts. As an ex-National Guardsman, I know how the system works. I was in the Air National Guard for eight years before switching to the Air Force Reserves. [...]
