About Me :
I'm a grownup nerd living in the Boston burbs. I write computer programs for a living and plays for fun.
I'm married to a wonderful woman, and we share a nice little house with our daughter and our cats.
I'm a humanist, a technologist, an artist, and an idealist. I believe in reason, freedom, love, equality,
and democracy. (Did I mention that I'm
an idealist? I did, OK.)
I'm also a pragmatist and an empiricist. I reject ideology and dogma, especially when they conflict with
practical facts (i.e., pretty much always). I particularly hate willful ignorance, which tends to go hand-in-hand
with ideology and dogma.
Like the alignment of the planets, this blog gets updated as I have the time, inspiration, and inclination to do so.

They're Only Having A Good Time
Wow... well, at least we know what Rush Limbaugh considers to be a good time. I bet the parties at his place are a blast.
The right-wing pundit brigade seems to be settling on the "it's no worse than frat hazing" meme, but I bet it doesn't get much traction. It's also a useful time for the shoe-on-the-other-foot test. What do you suppose Rush et al. would be saying if this was Bill Clinton's war? They'd be screaming bloody murder, that's what.
And by the way, isn't it great that George W. Bush has stood firm on keeping the sexual perverts out of the military?
