Sleep, Wonderful Sleep

Photography (wow)

This is so cool.

Violence in Decline

This is a really interesting interview of Steven Pinker, the author of The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined.

Generally Positive, and then ...

Well, I have a generally positive outlook on life in spite of my cynicism about our government and "free" society. I can rarely be surprised anymore by the things they do, and then I read Radley Balko's site.

Ugh.

It's called a police state, and we live in it. Real property rights that can't be dismantled at the whim of a local police agency, alongside the US Department of Justice (oh the irony of their name) would go a long way to freeing up our economy and our lives.

Did I Mention...

that I love my job?

Apologies

I'm sorry for the lack of posting lately.  I've been completely slammed at work (and being self-employed, that's a great thing) and pretty overwhelmed with reading at home. I'm sure I'll find some great stuff to post as I make it through the 5 magazines and two books on my bedside table - will post as soon as I can.
