Criminal 2.0

Interesting post from techdirt
You may have recently heard that story of a bank robber who, rather ingeniously, used Craigslist to create a diversion so he could get away with his crime. He put up a message, asking a bunch of people to show up for construction work, and told them what to wear, very specifically. [...]

The Boise Job Market

The well is drying up fast. 
Unless you’re willing to put on that red hat with a big yellow “M” and ask people if you want that in a combo meal or by itself.  2 of the biggest companies that employ the treasure valley, Micron & HP are making regular layoff announcements.  All part of the [...]

McCain’s new ploy

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/10/05/politics/politico/main4502153.shtml
McCain can’t seem to come up with a viable plan for fixing the economy.  His idea of “robbing peter to pay paul” tax philosophy isn’t his strongest platform.  So instead, he’s going to focus his attacks on Obama’s character.  (See above link).  I’m tired of hearing he & his running mate go on that they’re [...]

Home Sweet Home

Well, ok we have a hotel room till Sunday but the majority of our stuff has been relocated.

Buggin out!

Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robots

Looking forward to tonight’s debate!  God, 20 years ago I wouldn’t believe I would ever say that!!!

Closure

For those who know me, the situation, and follow my blog, know of  a long term friendship ending between my wife and her friend.  I have a rather long list of opinions on the matter, some I have eluded to in “code” on this blog.  Part of the Blogger’s code is not posting damaging or [...]

Our own worst enemy

Our economy is collapsing, banks are folding, stocks are falling, mortgages are failing, jobs are disappearing, the U.S. is becoming a financial black hole for the rest of the world, the world is already pissed at us and now we’re lobbing missiles into pakistan.  Why are we worrying about terrorism when we’re the ones causing [...]
