I got a good chuckle this morning reading the paper. In Chicago they began ticketing people speeding through construction zones using an automated camera system. People are all up in arms about this. Lets see, most people when told their phone records, e-mails, and web searches are being monitored, say as long as it is for national security, are fine with it. As long as you do nothing wrong, who cares if they look. Well, on our nations highways, why is it any different?
Here is a sobering fact, more people are killed in traffic accidents EVERY MONTH as were killed on 9/11. So, who are the real terrorists? Irresponsible drivers kill a lot more people, from all walks of life, in every state, county, city, town, and village than Islamic terrorists ever have. If you are going to complain about one form or government interference, complain about all of them. In this case, the government really is trying to keep us safe, by making us follow established laws.
Another stupid thing in the news is the debate over homosexual marriage. Why are we wasting time with this issue? Do 2 men getting married make me any less married? Not really. I make a comitment to my wife, and it is for life, no matter what the courts or congress decide. We have bodies stacked in the streets in Iraq, New Orleans is still in shambles and we are debating if 2 people who probably love each other can get married. Give me a break.

With the baby almost here, it has been hard to update the blog. Tiff is feeling painful kicks all the time. I have been keeping busy as work with a new visual insspection system. It’s pretty cool so far. Been at my “new” job over a year now. In less tan 2 weeks I could be a daddy, pretty exciting.
I am merging http://web.mol.ru/~zaurus/feed/ (Cacko’s) feed with my own, so now there are over 650 packages in the zaurus feed! Now I just to to review them all to make is all more browseable and easy to access.
A quick lesson for Mr. Bush, the Executive branch does not get to decide what is legal and what is not legal, and which laws to enforce. The Executive branch is supposed to Execute the laws of this country. It is up to the judicial branch to decide if the laws the legislative branch created are legal, not the President.Who really knows how much spying is going on inside this country? Congress certainly doesn’t. I am sick of any illegal act being performed defended by “we’re fighting terrorism.” Well, we had all the data we needed before September 11th to prevent the attacks, and we did nothing. The problem is the organization, not the amount of data. Just be honest with Congress and the American people, and I will be happy.
In other news, Tiffany just had another exam. The baby is doing well but Tiffany is hurting a lot of the time. She is usually such a busy person at home, and now she if forced to be a slug 🙁
Just watched 3 movies. Hide and Seek with Robert DeNiro was really good. The Island was very good, just a few plot holes were confusing, and The Legend of Zorro was a good, brainless action movie.
Stopped Raining
Well, it has been 4 days, but it has finally stopped raining. The lawn looks like a jungle right now.
As you can see, I have been working on the website over the last few days. The colors on the side look pretty cool so far. It looks great in Firefox, Netscape, Konqueror, and Opera. Looks like crap in Internet Explorer and I really don’t care! So, if you want to enjoy my site properly, get a web browser that follows HTML 4.0 properly like any of those mentioned above.
