If you have not yet heard of a documentary called “The Future of Food” (2004), or haven’t yet watched it, please take the time to do so. It is vital that you know what’s going into the food that you eat, and it’s vital that you know it now, before it’s too late.

This is Congressman Chris Van Hollen, the man that represents our district on the Hill. He’s got our heartfelt thanks and gratitude.
Do you want to know why? My wife and her students had to suffer for seven months at her piano studio — without heat in the winter and without air conditioning in the summer [...]
Everyone is happy to use free, open source software these days, and for-profit companies are only too happy to join that bandwagon. After all, they’re supporting the open source movement — or are they?
If you’re not sure, there’s an easy litmus test: see how much they contribute to the open source movement.
Look at how much [...]
» Go to this postNo one from Shyftr has contacted me in response to my emailed requests to remove my feed from their site. It seems they care as little about customer service as they care about copyright. I emailed them on Saturday afternoon and asked them to remove my feed within 48 hours. That deadline is now up, [...]
» Go to this postSome cockamamie site that calls itself Shyftr has launched recently, and they’re into stealing people’s content. If you look around at their site, they’re couching their actions in nice language and calling it a place where people can read their favorite feeds and discuss them. I call it outright theft and wonder why their site [...]

I want to focus in on a few, very specific ways in which companies waste money and energy. I see the following things happen daily in the workplace. They’re not specific to any company. Chances are that if you visit any American company, they’re probably doing at least one of these things.
Lights are left on [...]

Remember this post of mine, where I tried to discern among the various LCD monitors on the market, but couldn’t get anywhere when I dug a little deeper into the Apple Cinema Display specs? I wrote that on 4/30/07, and nothing has changed since then.

As I read through my feeds, I noticed a headline about the fading car culture. It seems a Nissan executive has noticed how interest in cars is waning, due to congestion costs, interest in public transportation, or desire to spend money elsewhere, like gadgets.
I also noticed something disingenuous in that article. It was his response [...]
It looks like the Montgomery Mall Apple Store did not fix our iMac properly the last time we took it in. That’s on top of the 10-day wait it took them to order parts, replace them, and run “extensive” tests…
It’s been working fine for the last month and a half since I got it back. [...]
It was more than two years ago when we first flew on Spirit. We were supposed to leave on an early morning flight, but we arrived at the gate 29 minutes prior to departure. We weren’t allowed to board. At that time, Spirit had a 30-minute policy on their flights, and “anyone not at the [...]
