I started today as I usually do, slowly.
I’m don’t wake up well.:^)
Got the coffee, sat down at the computer to delete spam and opened (in mailwasher) what appeared to be a legitimate email from the BBC.
All the bells and whistles went off, it was Netsky, a computer virus that is currently labelled ‘medium.’ I got [...]

I have not read Hugh Hewitt’s blog book. It is one of many blog books available and it is marketed to the US religious and churched audience.
Stand to Reason takes a look at Hewitt’s premise.
Hugh makes the case in his book that the information revolution taking place via the web is akin to the information [...]

I get to laugh at adolescent humour in blogging, discuss culture and theology, and call the Canadian Prime Minister Mr. Dithers without fear of reprisal.

The budget must have been even more of a yawn that I thought it was, there isn’t a peep about it over at E-group blog.
Norman Spector has been posting at E-group, and the comment section is unusually quiet.
Might be because all the words flung freely around at The Western Standard blog comment section has [...]
