Turning Incompetence into a Business Opportunity
I’m in class a lot these days, and this week it happens to be Software Quality Engineering Institute classes (big fancy organization, huh). I’m still in Dallas, but I’m not at my desk. In the middle of one of our discussions, our instructor Rex Black states something about a particular experience he’d had with a …

Opinions and attitudes
Editorial on Michael Moore’s Oscar Speech from an Ohio newspaper I replied to this with the following: Re: Editorial on Michael Moore And the 2003 award for most obviously Republican-slanted editorial goes to: The Advocate! The biggest problem with the debate about the war is that people automatically associate support for the troops as support …
Don’t bite your tongue
Part 2 of 3 So having parts of your tongue cut off to teach you not to bite your tongue seems a bit extreme, but there’s another learning experience embedded, free of charge! As you might expect, having stitches in your tongue can be quite painful. I was on a liquid diet for a few …
Some new author info
Chris Wright will occasionally be writing columns on the site. His code named is DeRigeur, or “DeRigger” if you’re French. He’s a good friend, and his stories are always a different pace.

Don’t bite your tongue
Part 1 of 3 Had an interesting learning experience this week. Having someone chop parts of your tongue off is an exciting way to learn something new.

Peace and death
So, we had Rachel Corrie protesting the Israeli destruction of Palestinian homes. She was killed when she fell down while standing in front of an Israeli army bulldozer with a bullhorn. The dozer rolled over her and then backed up. So here’s the question: did this woman die for a cause? Or did she believe …
A nice site to visit
Bill sent me this site in the mail, and I thought I’d include it. http://www.eriposte.com/economy/other/demovsrep.htm I’ll tell some stories about Nashville later.
Live from Nashville
Hey hidy, Here in Nashville, you’d almost expect for tons of people to be on the street with guitars and stars in their eyes. I’ve only seen one guitar, and the gentleman playing it didn’t exactly have stars in his eyes, although they were somewhat glassy… Having fun talking with teachers about technology. I’ll have …
