I think the appropriate response by Judge Walker to Proposition 8 should have been to place an injunction on issuing any new marriage licenses in California and to stop enforcement of laws requiring marriage licenses. If moral reasons are not valid reasons for regulating marriage, we are left with a regulation that is an anachronism [...]

As an engineer who lived in Houston for eighteen years I am fascinated with the engineering problem BP is facing. Its not my field but I guess that the pressure from the well and the buoyancy of the oil is enough to float the 100 ton structure. They probably are concerned with the riser integrity, [...]

A friend at work mentioned that he was looking at a propane powered smoker being sold at Walmart. He thought it was a good deal, $108, since the smoker had such good reviews. I took a look at it and agreed. So I bought it. My first test was pulled pork using an America’s Test [...]

On the day before Labor Day my wife and I went down to the Don Pablos restaurant in Covington to eat, drink, and watch the fireworks. I was not interested in the drinking part so I tried some night time photos using the HI-ISO setting. These are the photos I found most interesting.

I was actually amused by the whole “You Lie” affair. Like most Americans I was watching “So you Think You Can Dance!” at the time of the speech. When I heard about the interruption I thought the President had said something no one expected like, “No public option”. I immediately envisioned the Democratic legislators rising and shouting in anger, “Bush-Hitler!” Oops! My bad! My bad! When I heard that an obscure Republican congressman yelled, “You lie!”, I was disappointed. Republicans are notoriously bad at theatrics. Joe should have at least thrown a shoe at the President. Considering the President’s basketball skills I have no doubt he would have avoided the shoe and could then proceed to taunt his opponent with a victory dance. In a moment of political unity both legislators from both parties would then rise and start jiving to “You Bad! You Bad!” Now that’s entertainment!
On this day, the Virginia Tech community reflects on the vibrant lives of the 32 students and faculty who were tragically taken from us a year ago. Through light, art, and music we pay tribute to each and every person we lost. We gather to honor our friends, colleagues, and family members. We will never forget.
