Congressional Testimony

This is Congressman Mike Rogers’ talking about the currently proposed health plan.

Primeval is back!!!!

This is totally and completely out of left field. The news was posted to io9 a few minutes ago. My favorite BBC show besides Doctor Who, Primeval, will be coming back for at least 13 more episodes. They will be split with season four having seven episodes and season five will have six. This is [...]

Windows Live Writer

This post is being written using Windows Live Writer, part of the Windows Live Essentials software package. We’ll see how this article looks once it gets posted.

How to manage an IT group

That respect is earned through competence in the work place. I’m not saying management needs to be IT gurus. Even the head [...]

Even Babies Discriminate
