IN a two to one decision, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for Washington D.C. held that the 2nd Amendment applies to individuals, not just militias as a D.C. law stated.
This is the first time that an appeals court has ever struck down a gun control law on second amendment grounds.
Charter has been misbehaving again. My Internet connection has been down most of the afternoon and evening. I’m not so desperate as to connect through my cell phone, mostly just pissed off. I was able to get online for a short while when I got home, but that was about it. I may post a little, and then more when I get home from work tonight, as I have to go in a few minutes.
I did manage to skate from the meeting, which was very cool. I hate meetings as some of you already know.
Once again it is my favorite day of the week. After I cook and clean and just generally boss my employees around for the next nine hours I get to go sit in a meeting shuffling paperwork for three more, get to Pete’s softball game by 7 PM and get back to work for shift change and about three more hours of work because I am off tomorrow. Almost not worth taking a day off.
This is pretty cool. Not nearly as cool as my brother reading his book, but I am much lazier and prefer a computer to read the crap I have posted. I signed up for Odiogo’s free Podiocast service which turns all of my blogposts into mp3 podcasts. Here’s the post that I did earlier on ‘More about Couey‘.
Very weird. Now I am going to have to search through my site for the post with the most profanity just to listen to it and see if they bleep my ass. That might be difficult as there are so many to choose from. I curse even more than I post, although I have really been trying hard at work to keep my language clean, so that seems to have rolled over into my home life, at least until I get pissed off and then the stream of foul invectives issues out. Just can’t help it.

Have I told you how much I like cool gizmos and gadgets? This is much better than my audio-cast, but I will probably keep that link up. I have only used it twice but if I am without computer or iPaq I can post that from my cell phone.
John Couey has been found guilty of murdering 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford in Homosassa Springs, Florida. I will try to post a bit more when I have some more information.
If you have read the blog for awhile, you know I am into home automation. I mean really into it. I am always irritating the family by changing light switches to ones that can be turned on from the remote control, having the computer tell when it’s time to take out the trash, or when it’s time to go to work, or even turn the pond lights on at night. Very cool stuff. Recently Homeseer released the latest version which is now up to 2.2
It is by far the best automation software I have ever used. I posted their press release over at Technobabble yesterday if you are into that sort of stuff.
…chapter two is up now. I haven’t had the chance to listen to it yet, most likely as soon as I get home from work tomorrow.
Go visit Charles’ blog if you get the chance and listen to the book.
I noticed in some of my comments today that some people’s gravatar icons show up, but mine does not. I double check the email address and it matches. Weird. Anyone else using Gravatar on an MT blog?
I also noticed that there is a wordpress plugin for mybloglog that does the same thing. I need to look at it and see how it is implemented. I think that might be too much for my meager perl skills to handle though.
Seems like I just went to bed. Actually I was up about 3 AM and went back to bed about an hour ago. I sure didn’t want to get back out of bed again. Being home most of the day yesterday interrupted my routine. I’ve got three more days before I get a day off but I am ready for it now.
Today will be another fairly long day, as I have a bunch of stuff that should have been done yesterday to do. I still don’t know what kind of organizational changes they will be making over the next few weeks, but I do know it’s coming, so that is pretty stressful. Between that and desperately needing my vacation I just want to stay in bed for a few more hours.
Pete has softball practice tonight at 5:30 so I know that I will manage to get out of there before it is too terribly late, no matter what else I manage to get finished today.
I’m not making too much sense this morning (and it’s a good thing I have spellcheck) so I am going to quit while I am ahead but don’t forget to head over to the Battle of the Blogs today and cast your vote.
