A Proud Member of the Reality-Based Community
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.

W Ketchup
The Republicans' favorite vegetable is back. Just the thing to put on your Freedom Fries! From the website:
OK, I made up that last sentence, but you know? That's pretty much the gist of the site. Of course, there's nothing new about exploiting patriotism, or party affiliation, to make a buck. God bless America. As for me, well, I love America and I don't like ketchup anyway.

"You don’t support Democrats. Why should your ketchup? W Ketchup is made in America, from ingredients grown in the USA. W Ketchup is America’s Ketchup™. Because Democrats aren't Americans."
