Dick Cheney 1991 quote

Dick Cheney in 1991 on ABC’s This Week said this. He was then Senior Bush’s Secretary of Defense. I think for us to get American military personnel involved in a civil war inside Iraq would literally be a quagmire. Once we got to Baghdad, what would we do? Who would we put in power? What […]

Paul Jessup Is Lurking in my Gmail Account

Who in the world is Paul Jessup and why is he on my gmail page? I use gmail.com for my personal mail. I find it extremely well thought out and useful. It is significantly faster than my AOL, Yahoo, or Onebox accounts. Onebox.com in particular is hard to use in comparison and I would drop […]

P & E

Analogically Yours is #9 #8 in the P & E poll. Chris put a another story of mine in under SF Novels. Strangely enough, I outlined the novel based on that story and wrote about 20,000 words before giving up. It was too much like work.There has been discussion that non-writers can put in any […]

Hack the Razr!

I have a Verizon plan that gives you a free phone every two years. I don’t use my phone much, and I missed the last opportunity to upgrade. However, in December I got my free Razr V3M in the mail and I’ve been using it from time to time. I wanted the Razr because it […]
