New Book. Woo Hoo
November 30, 2004 - 9:19 pm
Been rather light blogging today, picked up the new Nelson Demille book, Night Fall, earlier, and have been engrossed in it. I had been working my way through the Honor Harrington series by David Weber, but the 5th book in the series, Flag in Exile, was not available at the local library. Went to Barnes […]

GOP Headquarters Vandalization Update
November 30, 2004 - 8:05 am
Yes, I know vandalization is still not a word. Anyhoo (not a word), the three charged with vandalizing the Raleigh GOP headquarters appeared in court Monday the 29th (starting their week on a bad note, eh?) , and have made the wise decision to not waive the Right to council.

Communication Roundup
November 29, 2004 - 9:10 am
Apparently there has been a big too-doo about exploding mobile phone batteries as of late. I have written a few times that I will not write about anything to do with what I do, but, this is safe enough. The big part of the article to notice is this:
