The Republicans are S.O.L.

VOTE

With all this talk about the sequester, and with Obama apparently wanting to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of income tax in America by giving us more of it, I’m finding myself pretty close to giving up. It’s just way too hard to make sense of any of this. The inmates are actually running the asylum.

I was listening to a local radio broadcast today. It’s actually the Nate Shelman show – which I usually find at least minimally entertaining – but, today it was being hosted by another guy (didn’t catch his name). He started in on the sequester, and how Republicans can’t get their message across (the same mantra that all the conservative talk shows have been repeating lately), and it got me to thinking and wondering.

Google Glass. Super Cool.

Google Glass

Remember the Terminator movies – how “Arnold” (the Terminator) would look at stuff and get all kinds of dials and gauges and instructions that appeared in his field of vision? But they didn’t block his vision in any way? Wasn’t that cool?

Google is announcing “Google Glass”, and implementation of this kind of technology, will be available before the end of 2013. And, even though it is Google and not Apple who is announcing it (right now, anyway), the technology will work with iPhones as well as Andoid devices via Bluetooth.

Mosquito Alert

Ooops. Missed it. Well here goes.

Mosquitos like…

The color blue. So, if you’re camping or picnicking, I guess blue jeans are not the best choice for wear (or BSU gear :) )
