Random thoughts, musings and things I think are interesting…

Although it hasn’t gotten nearly the media coverage it deserves, most everyone is at least somewhat aware of what’s been going on in Nevada between Rancher Cliven Bundy and the BLM.  If you’re not part of the almost, the short version is that the BLM claimed that Rancher Bundy’s cattle was grazing on “their” land…

Not an in depth post today, but it’s been about a week since I dove back into the bitcoin pool so I thought I would quickly chronicle what I’ve done and what I plan to do next. Bitcoin related stuff that I’ve done in the past week: I finally read the original whitepaper.  I understood…

Another podcast inspired post.  I discovered Tom Woods recently from a Facebook fan page on homeschooling (he’s coming out with a pretty interesting history course for the Ron Paul curriculum) and subscribed to his podcast.  I listened to a few episodes on the way to work today (nice that they are only 30 minutes long)…

Reading the news is a rather interesting venture on the first day of April.  There are reports of Russia annexing Alaska, recipes posted about cooking eggs in urine and of course a whole bag of tricks from Google.  I will admit that one of the links in the previous list actually got me.  All of them…

As a natural consequence of  trying my best to lead an online marketing team as my day job, being generally interested in all things tech and just being a nice guy, I get asked quite often to help people with their websites.  Sometimes its simply taking a look and making some suggestions, other times they…

I first heard about Porcfest a year ago or so on the Bad Quaker podcast.  Flash forward a year and I’m going to head up there for a few days in June.  Not sure what it’s all about, but I don’t think I’ll know unless I actually go, so I’m going. Turns out the guy…

I just missed signing up for an IFTF event on crypto currency (but the event videos look like they will be posted next week).  Just flipped through this slideshare deck from one of the presenters and saw a few interesting topics (specifically the “green” aspect of crypto currency vs. physical currency) and some points I…

I have my first specific recollection of being on the internet about 20 years ago this month. I was a senior at Rose Hulman and was hanging out in the computer lab working on a project (on those uber-kewl NeXT machines we had back then).  Someone on the NeXT next to me was fiddling with…

I listened to the most recent episode of Dan Carlin’s Common Sense podcast on the way to work this morning.  Have I mentioned that I am a huge podcast fan?  I think I have, but I may not have mentioned that unlike almost everything else I am a fan of (food, guns…women) I don’t actually…
