In the latest migration to a new virtual private server, some of the links to images in the earliest posts to this blog were broken. If you encounter one of these broken links, please let me know. I have backups and can restore the images.
There’s only one person who agrees with me on everything, and, as I’m not running for office, that person is not on the ballot.

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.

The last time I seen some MD 20/20 was with me under a car hidding from the cops.

In James Taranto’s "Best of the Web" weekday newsletter from the Wall Street Journal, he has oddly worded headlines every day. One of his best talents is spotting headlines that, read with no context, you have to question why they would even be news, like for instance from South Jersey News Online on May 6:
"No Evidence Found That a Boat Sank in Delaware"

I can’t wait to meet Chris and share a 40 of Steel Reserve.

"40 of Steel Reserve" ??Â
I do know what MD 20/20 is & it’s to be avoided at all costs. That stuff makes people mean.

Second Son: you don’t want to see Chris drunk. I’ve seen the pictures and it’s not pretty.
And I’m not kidding. Do you still have them, Karen?

40 oz. bottle of malt liquor. And while you may not be joking, Opie, I was.

One thing I learned long ago. Don’t mix a six-pack of Schlitz and a bottle of Mother’s Vineyards Scuppernong Wine.
That was back when Schlizt was a beer, rather than canned horse–oh, never mind.

Yeah, as a matter of fact, I do. Thanks to Ghost, Norton 360, & the external hard drive, they survived the crash.
