    I was raised in a strict Christian, Republican household where my parents always voted Republican, and they passed their views down to us kids. My father passed away about 15 years ago, and my mom remarried—a Democrat. While I’ve mostly leaned conservative, with some occasional moves toward the center, my mom has changed a lot…

    Is it Moral? We all have a moral code. Some people have a moral code that is more restrictive than yours. Some people have a moral code less restrictive than yours. Occasionally, a moral code is imposed by outside authorities. Such a moral code is unlikely to be “your” moral code. You might agree with…

    We are in the process of moving from the image above to the image below. At least in terms of what the infrastructure looks like. Today I decommissioned an EdgeRouter 4 which features a “fanless router with a four-core, 1 GHz MIPS64 processor, 3 1Gbit RJ45 ports, and 1G SFP port.” When they say “MIPS64”…

    For the most part, I’ve stopped writing or reporting on “mass shootings”. They happen. My initial takes are normally wrong. The information that we are fed is designed to tell a story. I hate being a conspiracy guy. My biggest error, so far, has been my initial analysis of the Trump shooting. Having said that,…

    Christmas is past for another year. It was better than expected. Watching movies with the family was good. My wife insists on “A Christmas Story”, as it is her favorite. I picked “Red One” on a recommendation from Scott Adams on X. The final movie was “A Christmas Story Christmas”. This last hit a bit…

    Yesterday was a good day. But you don’t want to hear about nerd rants. I took my wife to the hospital for minor surgery. It was successful, and the patent lived. There are hardly any places in this state that are “gun free zones”. Post offices, courts, and jails are the limit, as far as…
