Testing

Due to firewall issues, I've been posting most of my blog entries via email. It seems, however, that the last few haven't actually made it to my blog. So this is a test and an apology rolled into one. To make up for the missed entries, I'll just submit this link for now. As usual, with emailed blog entries, you'll have to copy and past the URL into the browser, until I find the time to log in from home and fix the link by hand.

EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

It is a rare thing to be around when a major shift occurs in human history. Granted the news makes it appear that human existance has been teetering on the brinks since the invention of the press (though it is all somehow the republicans fault). Still, when the real end of humanity came did you think anyone would hear about it? No. Except, posssibly, for one lone voice calling
out in the wilderness.

It has finally happened. And that voice is calling out: "The Daleks are coming! The Daleks are coming!"

Canadians in Spaaaaaaaaaaace!

I don't know. I went to the Da Vinci website and looked through the gallery. It looks to me like they spent more time painting the thing then actually building it. Was it made by engineers or marketing specialists?

The pretend war-hero presidential candidate

A surprising left-of center leaning media outlet (upi) published an interesting article on pretend war-hero John Kerry and just how much he hurt the *real* heros languishing in POW camps during the Vietnam war. Like most media outlets, they give the Kerry campaign the (last-unanswered) word, but at least the article (Ex-POWs slam Kerry's war-protest activities) helps push the balance a tinsy bit towards the middle.
