Yesterday I finally did something I’ve been meaning to do for years, organize and file my comic books. It took me the better part of a morning, but I’m terribly pleased with the general sense of imposing order on chaos. I am no more than a dabbler in comic books. I read them sporadically as… Read More November Comic Book Post: The Geek Returneth

The migration of cool from the culture to the tech world. A nobly quixotic attempt to have the use of the word “cool” bear some resemblance to the meaning thereof. I salute his gallant folly.
Politicians were making decisions about it: So no, this is not a good project undone by Republican “sabotage,” as I saw suggested on Twitter this morning. It’s a potentially good IT project undone by system design and deadlines chosen for political reasons, rather than feasibility.
