Random Dust

Move along, there’s nothing to see here. I’ve given up on Community Server as my blog engine and have moved to WordPress.  The new blog is located here: http://blog.randomdust.com.  I’ve moved over all current posts to the new site, so if you’ve wanted to comment on anything but weren’t able to on this blog, move on over to the new site ...

Trying out the Twitter Notifier using Live Writer.  Found in the Live Writer SDK for Technical Preview.  This should show up on my Twitter feed.

I guess if you sit and wait long enough, someone will do something to solve a problem.  In my eyes, the problem is our dependency on foreign oil.  There are two angles of attack to solve the problem.  First, reduce our dependency on oil regardless of source through alternative fuels.  This is a great idea and it's awesome to ...

I've been thinking a lot recently about how ''well'' the new House has been doing with Pelosi at the helm, leading their 100 day march.  I really did try to take a look at it as an independent and find some positives, but they just aren't there.  Most of what I've seen has been wasted tax dollars arguing policy that either is non-binding ...

Is Gore as green as he's preaching we should all be?  Apparently not. That's a disappointment.  Democrat vs. Republican aside, I really wish we could count on folks in the public eye to not be so hypocritical.  Maybe that's just part of the job for folks in politics, but I like to have higher expectations than that. Note to ...

I'm slowly catching up on my magazine reading and finally opened the “sex” issue of GQ from a month or two ago.  I found a GREAT article by an anonymous woman that gives 10 1/2 reasons why Republicans are better in bed than Democrats.  First of all, of course it's all true.  Second of all, it's damn funny!  After a ...

Details are still being put together in the aftermath of the tragedy caused by Katrina down along the Gulf Coast.  The best estimate at this point is that there will be thousands dead and take many months, if not closer to a year, to get to a point where people can move back into various cities, including New Orleans. Like many, I can easily ...

The Rather-Gate is getting Rather interesting.  Get it...Rather...rather...oh nevermind. Once the blog community exposed the deception with the CBS Bush report having to do with his Guard service, I just chalked it up to the liberal media.  Little did I know how deep and contrived the story was until the recent firings at CBS and ...

Beats me. But I found a really cool site that will tell you.  And the best part is, it's paid for by our tax dollars. It's called The World Factbook and is put together by our friends at the CIA. Oh, the population is 17,501,871.

The whole “school violence” and political correctness of this world is really getting to me.  As a father of two it's getting close to being frightening.  Not that I'm worried my kids will be the victim of some crazy kid...I'm more worried that they will be the victim of some crazy school administration policy. Here are the ...
