I’ve done a slight update to the main WireWoods House website. I’ve tried to make it a bit easier to add pictures of things that are going on. Hopefully I’ve succeeded. We’ve been quite busy the past few days. Friday we painted our office with a faux finish called Soft Suede from Sherwin Williams. The Read More …
Gettingit.com
Now this is a strange site. They really have some over the top articles here. Two I found interesting and amusing right off the top are not for the feint of heart. You have been warned.
The Star Wars Kid
Some interesting links today. The Star Wars Kid is interesting. Poor kid has become something of an internet phenomenon now. Now that he has been identified it looks like he’ll even be rewarded for his antics. At first I thought “another amusing little story”. But when I read the article about his identity being discovered Read More …
We have angered the electricity gods
In addition to Saturday’s little romp with disintegrating power lines, Sunday before we left town for the day all of Powell lost power. Then last night as we were settling in for our nightly hibernation around midnight, what happens? Big storm, nice lighting flash and POOF goes the power! There I go again, down to Read More …
The Curse strikes again
Saturday May 10th was another day of the curse. The plan was to wake up early and start working on our basement office floor, prepping the floor and installing Pergo. But the Curse had other plans for us. At 4:30 A.M. I awoke to the tintinnabulation of the myriad UPS’s around the house complaining that Read More …
Nothing is as it seems
I’ve been wondering recently about the abrupt turn around that Colin Powell has displayed over the war in Iraq. It’s refreshing to see that I’m not the only one who noticed that something changed and that what is presented isn’t always what is real. It’s nice to know that my memory isn’t faulty and things Read More …
Sex must be part of the Axis of Evil
While I admit to being annoyed at the overt nature porn on the internet has taken, I hardly think it’s damaging, dangerous or needs legislation of any type let alone of this magnitude. The U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to vote Thursday on a proposal that would criminalize using misleading domain names to lure Read More …
Hind sight is 20/20 but….
I think that phrase gets used entirely too often to cover up overtly bad planning and stupid ungrounded assumptions. Our current military planers seem to be running off the deep end when it comes to planning this war on Iraq. I’d love to know why Powell is being so queit about it as well. Many Read More …
More Internet War Coverage
Since we seem to have taken Iraqi TV off the air I thought I’d try and find a web feed of al-Jazeera. Along the way I learned some interesting things about al-Jazeera in this article, In defense of al-Jazeera. Also interesting is that the al-Jazeera web site has shut down from spam and DoS attacks Read More …
Transformational Warfare
Since before Operation Iraqi Freedom started, something bothered me about the assumptions apparent in the planning as revealed by what we were told. The major thing that bothered me was the notion that this war would be a fast one, that we’d show the Iraqi people the futility of fighting us and they’d be so Read More …
