I’ve been relatively quiet online regarding my political stance and since tomorrow’s the election, I figured I’m safe to blog a bit now without having to worry about fielding too many questions from people that 1) disagree with me, or 2) think they agree with me, but aren’t sure. Here’s my take. I am a…

That’s MY 128-bit key. If someone distributes that around the internet, I have the very same legal right that the AACS-LA group has to prosecute. See http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/?p=1155 for the info, but basically, that number was used to encrypt a copyrighted work (A haiku) and I was given explicit rights to decrypt the work my the…

That’s the AACS code that can apparently be used to crack HDDVD discs released up till now. The AACSLA group is trying to strong arm the whole internet into removing those numbers from existence. I align with Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, in this plight. The DMCA is getting a bit to big for its…
Why should we continue spending on national defense?
I got an email from my USAF (US Air Force) buddy the other day. The email was a hilarious little jaunt down futility lane regarding the removal of Quicktime from all USAF computers. Apparently there are vulnerabilities in Quicktime that the USAF feels are too dangerous to have running. In the meantime, one can safely…
R.I.P. Confident Conservatism
I wrote this for our family newletter to fill some extra space. I’ll repost it here for the 6 of you that read this regularly. 🙂 I?m not sure who follows the world of politics, but if you don?t, you might want to pay a bit of attention these days. After the most recent elections,…
Still alive!
Sorry about the lack of posting, but I have been in hiding, preparing to move myself and my family to Canada in the event that John “Can’t-play-sports-but-very-good-at-pandering” Kerry is elected President. But, alas, we have elected a president that is commited to America, and winning the war on terror. Also, Mitch Daniels (R) won here…
Kerry is quite a player
Maybe you’ve thought, as I have, “Why can’t I choose John Kerry as a WR or QB on my fantasy football team?”. You can see one piece of incriminating evidence in my previous bloggings, but here’s another: http://photoalbum.theheacocks.com/displayimage.php?album=79&pos=3 What a weirdo. Thanks to Don for this one. -Chris
Before you vote . . .
Pay very close attention to the little things, like, oh I don’t know, how a candidate handles a football being passed to him. I don’t want to see that reaction when someone “passes” him a new terrorist threat. -Chris
Don’t Forget
Jaime and I were heading down to Martinsville for a birthday cookout at my parent’s house. Hanging down from an I-69 overpass was a banner that read: “9-11. Don’t forget. All gave some, some gave all.” I told Jaime that I thought that it was cool. For the next twenty minutes or so, I thought…
