New version of Blogger Widget

Some day I will use this blog again. I swear it.

Frickin' Google buying things and changing the way they work…

Hey! I finally updated my Blogger widget, so I can easily make posts again! Who knows if I actually will, though.

This Day in History!

John H. Glenn, Jr became the first American to orbit the Earth in 1962! Pretty cool. I wish we'd do something more with space flight. We seriously need to get off this planet.

I honestly believe that Mankind is kind of like the Earth's reproductive system. We should get to doing our job and spread life to other places. Seriously reduces the chances of extinction, too. Don't keep all your eggs in one basket, they say!

Blah, I say, blah blah

How I'm dividing things up

OK, I've decided that I actually want to keep this blog just for political or politics related rants. So, no more posts like the last one. I have another blog, managed by iWeb, here at mac.com. I will be posting all Mac-related or non-politically sensitive technology related things there.

Mac Mini

Well, I haven't gotten around to the nuclear power thing, yet. But let me talk about Apple's new products. Specifically, the new Intel based Mac Mini and its lack of built-in DVR hardware. People just don't get the point here; why would Apple compete with itself by including a DVR? Let me try to state this plainly: Apple sells TV programs. DVRs are used to record TV programs for free, removing the need to purchase them from Apple. Therefore, Apple will never include DVR features on any Mac, and anyone who is holding out for that needs to give up. The concept is that you do not need a Cable TV account; all you need is broadband internet. Instead of dealing with TV schedules, or any of that, you just purchase the episodes you want to watch, and watch them whenever. That's the model Apple is pushing; a DVR would be off-message, off-putting, and counterproductive to their ends.

Edit: this post is also at my other blog. I also expand on it slightly there.

I think I'm going to have to post some things about nuclear power soon, it's my pet project of the moment.

So I realized my Template was old and messed up anyway

And I changed it.

I'm posting this using the Google Blogger Dashboard widget! This is actually a pretty cool thing.

Virginia Tech -- Home Page

Well, I have quit my job and returned to college. I don't actually know that I will try to get back into blogging, and if I do, it may not have much to do with politics. After all, I'm a Geosciences major now. I study rocks.

Rant! Rant! Rant!

I hate Bush! I hate Kerry! I'm going to write in Joseph Lieberman!

USS Clueless illustrates why Demand-side Economics is good!

USS Clueless: "In case you're curious, it is the rise of labor unions in the 19th century, which led to a rising standard of living for blue collar workers, making them a big new market which the capitalists could sell into, resulting in an economic explosion. The paradox is that in the long run, raising worker wages ended up making the capitalists even more rich, and also prevented any revolution by the proletariat despite Marx's claim that such a revolution was historically inevitable."

This, of course, is why I got a free hoody. Or however you spell that.
