Cato Critique Misses Mark
I think I like 1/2 the articles at The Cato Institute. Some days they have excellent commentary on politics, other days I wonder if their hats are on too tight. Today was one of those days. In today’s “Bush, Kerry, and Partisan Hypocrisy,” David Boaz criticizes the hypocrisy of both parties. While I would agree [...]

Beth of Obeyance gives some insight from a discussion with a Hindu friend about various religions getting along. It’s probably one of the better analogies that I don’t agree with. I have some nice friends of various faiths (or no faith at all) that I get along well with. We even discuss our faiths – [...]

I tried to get WordPress installed last night so I could see if I want to switch away from Blogger.com. I got the following error message during the install: Error establishing a database connection!

I spent the first couple of hours tonight trying to get WordPress up so I could see if I like it. I started at Livejournal.com, switched to Blogger.com, and now I wonder why I need Anything.com. I should be able to bypass any 3rd party blog host and post directly on Chasing the Wind. Since [...]

A coordinated Googlebomb has succeeded. A google search for “waffles” points you to the number 1 website for information on waffles: John Kerry’s election website. Previous well-known googlebombs were “Weapons of Mass Destruction” which points you to a fictional error page, “The weapons you are looking for are currently unavailable,” and “miserable failure” which points [...]

I’ve been blogging for…. um, about 2 weeks. Too much blogging. It’s 1/2 hour after bedtime, and I’m still blogging. I like it. I do it too much. And I’ve learned a lot. I’ve learned I haven’t picked the best tool for me. I started at Livejournal, didn’t like it. I *do* like Dreamweaver, but [...]

One of my favorite websites is HowStuffWorks.com. I think it has the answer to everything there, the entire internet on a single website. I’ve found answers to how these things work: toasters routers auto transmissions spam mistletoe New stuff is added all the time – featured stuff on the front page are stealth bombers, poker, [...]

Source: SciFiPulse Looking ahead to what we can all now confidently say is going to be Star Trek Enterprise’s fourth season. Berman confirmed that he had indeed been in talks with William Shatner about a guest starring role in Enterprise, and is hoping to fit a William Shatner Guest appearance into Enterprise’s 4th season.
