A few moments ago, the House of Representatives votes against what has been described as the “Mother of All Bailouts” and the response on Wall Street was immediate panic and fear. Below is a quick list of bailouts that have happened during my lifetime I am not saying that this list is in anyway complete. [...]
Wow, didn’t see this happening in my lifetime, but I guess that’s the magic associated with the fall of an election year. It seems that the House bill that made up the proposed $700 billion bailout faltered at a vote of 205 for, 228 against. At first it seems like the American people have finally [...]
It seems like the cycle that weaves behind the music world has once again completed itself and several new albums have come out recently which are giving my ears reasons to be happy again. It should be noted that I am an albumist – I like the listen to the complete album from start to [...]
As some of you certainly know, I moved to Richmond Virginia towards the end of August to take on a full time writing gig. The move was good, but for the past six weeks Tasha and I have been living with friends while we got settled in. A few moments ago I heard from the [...]

This morning, on Morning Joe, Senator McCain claimed that all of his campaign ads were factual – despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. On this morning’s drive to work, I happened to glance [...]

I had been desperately trying to get this website before I Imoved. It’s nearly midnight now, not that the time is really too pertitnant as I moved nearly two weeks ago. Regardless, I’ve put the front page up on my website and started to wrap up the design aspect. That means I’m only now stuck [...]
I think it’s fairly safe to assume that if you’re reading this, you already know what Chrome is, and unless you’re a Mac- or Linux-only user, you’ve probably already got a copy installed on your current machine. If so, consider yourself an early-adopter and likely not the target audience for Google’s latest advance into wresting [...]
