There’s an essay over at The Village Voice that you want to read before it goes away: “Why I Am No Longer a ‘Brain-Dead Liberal’” by David Mamet Here’s a brief excerpt. This is, to me, the synthesis of this…
Mouse-Mouse and WordPress Oddity
I will not provide a photo, but I figure this pointing device would be all-too popular with any felines or canines in your household. I wouldn’t ever have imagined such a thing if the Instructables people hadn’t sent out an…
Blah
