I took my camera along for my bike rides this weekend. Unfortunately, the trails were washed out after a thunderstorm, but I got a few good photos.

Ride photos
Posted by David on January 30th, 2006The EPA just released this least of the top 25 “renewable energy” users. Unsurprisingly, the list is dominated by government agencies and enviro-nut oriented companies - that is, organizations that either feed off enviro-hysteria, or can simply steal more of your money to make up for their waste. If you are looking to avoid investing in companies that waste your money, this is a list to watch.
Google Censorship Gallery
Posted by David on January 26th, 2006Just a few days after Google agreed to censor its results to appease China, the results are already evident. Here is a gallery of the websites and words it hides from Chinese surfers.
U.S. govt sues Google for your porn queries
Posted by David on January 19th, 2006The Justice Department is suing Google after it refused to turn over “all Google queries for a week and for 1 million Internet addresses.” No warrant or reasonable cause was needed – this is for the state’s “research” needs. MSN, Yahoo, and AOL already capitulated without a fight. If there was ever a cause for a fight over due process, it’s this, not the anti-terrorism BS.
Incidentaly, Google permanently records all my search queries as part of my Google account, which includes a year of Gmail emails, my address book, and credit card info for my ad accounts. To hell with phone calls and letters – if there are any secrets about me, my Google accounts hold them. If this is up for grabs without a warrant, what isn’t?
Sleeping under the influence?
Posted by David on January 16th, 2006While surfing TV, I came across an episode of “Everybody loves Raymond” where a character who goes to sleep in a car so as not to drive home drunk is arrested. I looked it up, and it’s true –you can get convited for drunk driving for sleeping in a car, with the keys in your pocket.
Google Pack
Posted by David on January 7th, 2006Just out: Google Pack, a suite of software from Google and other vendors that every casual and serious computer user should get. I highly recommend everything in the pack except for Norton Antivirus – I prefer the free avast! 4 Home Edition.
Photo Fun
Posted by David on January 3rd, 2006During my trip to see the family this weekend, I scanned over 100 family photos from Soviet Ukraine, some of them dating back to the 1930s. The photos are in various states of decay, and require touch-ups before they can be enlarged for printing. Fortunately, I have a copy of Photoshop CS2 handy, and started with this 30’s era glamour shot of grandma and her sis:
Happy New Years!
