The following controversy is actually an embarrassment for my area. People are up in arms because the state is now requiring people who apply for a drivers license to supply proof of citizenship.

Apparently here in the NW we’re so used to rain that we’ve no idea what to do when the clouds part and the glowing orb dominates the sky. Pictured is what I came across this morning on Yahoo when I was checking the local forecast. Granted it probably *meant* to indicate there could be treacherous [...]

People in Alaska have griped about the near 24 hours of darkness in the winter and the near 24 hours of sun in the summer. Yeah- I lived up there for over a decade and due to the climate of snow and… well sun, it’s not so bad. Here in the great Northwest there’s something I [...]

It’s that time of year again folks – not only is it the holidays but this particular geek gets the next 10 days scheduled as “work free”. Having that set up, I may or may not be around all that much, probably leaning towards not. I’ll be popping in now and again, as will Ghic [...]

Normally I wouldn’t post a video right after a video, however, this needed to get out to the masses. No worries people, it is a fictitious piece I came across via a link on WordPress. It caused me to pause and think though- “What if the bloggers of the world (like myself) did go on [...]

The holidays can be tough. Lots of people hanging around, lots of family to contend with, lots of money being spent and nary an hour to oneself to plow through the latest game or tinker with the newest gadgets. To that end I’ve put together a list that may help us geeks get through the [...]
