Then and Now

kennedy in 1963

Bush supporters dismiss world opinion. saying Europeans don’t like us, anyway. But Bush is the first American President in my memory who has to hide from the public when he goes abroad.
Hmmm, it seems that bush and cheney also hide from the public in the US. Unless, of course, the rally attendees have signed their loyalty oath or put in their time doing campaign work.


Modulator Changes

I’m making some changes to Modulator.
Already done:

  • Upgraded to Movable Type 3.11
  • Updated RSS syndication. See the top of the left side bar. I’ll add an Atom feed as soon as I get it to work.
  • Some cosmetic changes.
Still to come:
  • Inline trackbacks
  • Dynamic Publishing.
  • Block hot linking. Yes there are a few folks out there stealing some bandwidth.
  • Add a favicon.
  • More cosmetic changes.
Please let me know if you notice any problems.


Flying High

Jane is pretty excited about taking a sub-orbital flight and, with good reason, points to her tip jar:

The new service will be called Virgin Galactic and expects to fly 3,000 new astronauts in its first five years. Fares will start at 115,000 pounds (US$208,000, euro169,000) for a suborbital flight, including three days’ training.
As much as I’d like to fly with her I’m probably going to have to wait until the fare comes down a bit.


Freeway Blogging

Do you live in Colorado, Arizona or New Mexico?
Then take up the Freeway Blogger’s challenge!
Hmmmm, there might be something here for all of you. I know the Freeway Blogger is not a bush supporter but the challenge doesn’t say the signs have to be any special denomination.
Do remember, though, that in a land of freedom no individual should have the power that has been vested in the US presidency, no legislature the power of the the US senate or house, and no judiciary the power of the US supreme court.
