    YouTube videos

    About two months ago I somehow stumbled onto the fact that we can watch YouTube videos on our regular TV. (I think we've actually been able to do this for years; but I didn't realize it.) Obviously, Google (ie., YouTube) is picking up stuff my wife looks at the on the inter-webs. (Our home...

    UNC capital needs underfunded

    I like this. We're supposed to believe this is all some unintentional, benign outcome ? There's nothing more to it than people like to hang out with others with similar stripes. Probably the main difference between state governments trying to impose some political loyalty test on university...

    Ads and Membership Levels

    What are you reading?

    I'm halfway through the second volume of the (planned) trilogy by Rick Atkinson on the American Revolution. The third volume is yet to be published. Let me say -- reading about the American Revolution is tougher slog than many other areas of American or world history. 0 The Revolution...
