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…

Donald Lewis Heacock
Well, I realize that it has been quite some time since I last blogged. The primary reason for this is I honestly haven’t been able to think of what I wanted to say. My grandfather, Donald Lewis Heacock, went home to the Lord on May 20th, 2007. If you follow my blog, you’ll see that…

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…
Something’s Different…
You might have noticed that my blog has a new theme. The old one was getting on my nerves, so I thought I’d try somehting new. You like? I know that I should have blogged by now. I think of tons of great things to jabber about, but I never have the drive to put…
Emily Jeanne Heacock
My grandmother, Emily Jeanne Heacock, passed away March 1st at 8:00AM. She had fallen ill a while ago with cancer, but refused to stop enjoying life. She passed very peacefully and I am so excited that she is in Jesus’ loving arms right now. I can’t tell you the relief that comes from knowing where…
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,…
I strongly dislike traveling.
I started to say “hate”, but hate is such a strong word, and as much as I dislike traveling, I don’t hate it. I’m in Beaverton, OR this week for business. The plane that brought us up here was some dinky thing that I had to duck to get into, and stay ducked to move…
Merry Everyone!
Look who found his blog!! It’s me! Wow, it was been a LONG time since I blogged, and needless to say, much has happened.. Where to begin…hmmm…. Emma’s first Christmas went VERY well. We had a blast with some extended family who were super nice to let us come and hang out with them in…
I AM VERY LAZY!
That’s why I haven’t blogged. Not because of time travel, not due to a recording contract, not even in protest of 40 hour work weeks. It was pure unadulterated laziness… However, that’s all behind me. It’s a new day and I’m blogging like it’s 1999. So, what’s been happening… Emma’s 5.5 months old now. She…
Alright, Alright!
I am getting thousands of emails a day wondering about a new blog! If you must know, I landed a record deal with a major label and have been working on some tracks with my band. The most popular so far is a Christmas tune made famous long ago by some great singers. You can…
