Ones, Zeros, and Magickal Thinking 2
The San Jose Mercury-News investigates why the Republican Party has lost Silicon Valley. It seems to be another manifestation of Stephen Colbert’s observation that reality has a liberal bias.
A nugget:
This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

I’ve run into the comment — it now must be a GOP talking point — that anyone who calls the GOP anti-science is a believer in a conspiracy that doesn’t exist. From the Mercury News: “Veteran California GOP consultant Kevin Spillane, however, said the idea of a ‘Republican war on science’ is just ‘hype.'” Keep in mind the GOP is dead in California. Now, from a troll on my blog: “What anti-science lunacy? Someone, somewhere, said something you don’t agree with? If it’s more than that please tell me where this great anti-science conspiracy is.”

And when Hilary Clinton said there was vast right-wing conspiracy, everyone made fun of her. ALEC, Koch Brothers, and so on. Maybe there aren’t secret meetings in the Caymans–oh! wait!
