Who Should I Vote For?

Nathan — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 22:54:20 +0000

I have been listening to the pure bull pucky of the Republican presidential candidates and combining this with the things I sincerely dislike about the the Progressives and the pretend Democrat Obama and this has resulted in two sentiments.

First, anyone who compromises their speech for the sake of electability is traitor to his or [...]

Zoology to Dev: Lessons in Learning & Teaching

Nathan — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 18:45:08 +0000

I get asked a lot about why I have a background in Zoology (particularly, marine and even more particularly, neuroscience) but now work in IT. It is a little hard to describe quickly, especially since this question is often asked by an HR representative over the phone as part of an interview.

To answer this [...]

6660|100Thank you Frederick Douglass for reminding me of this from the grave, as tiled into the side of a work center near the Port Authority Bus Terminal in NYC. I walked past this building about a week ago and have been rolling around this phrase in my head since.

Nathan — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 12:01:40 +0000

I never talk about work, notice that there is not a single post on here about my job. It isn’t because I hate my job. In fact I love it! I have read far too many stories about people who vent about a boss, mine is pretty good, nothing to vent, or accidentally give away [...]

HAHAHAHA – Do a little dance, we were right:

After offering a bleak assessment of the Bush administration’s strategy in Iraq, Senator Richard G. Lugar of Indiana, the ranking Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, said today that he was urging lawmakers and President Bush to change course quickly to protect a further erosion of [...]

Legitimacy Revisited

Nathan — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 10:26:13 +0000

Those of you who have been subjected to my ramblings for a while will recall that I was obsessed with the legitimacy of statehood.

As if by magic, I came across an entry on slashdot about Pirate Bay moving to Sealand – an abandoned UK fort turned principality. It seems the debate over whether or [...]

Please Vote Republican

Nathan — Tue, 24 Oct 2006 02:44:00 +0000

Yes! Please do. Why? Because only if we let them make this country the worst place to live in the world will their corrupt idiotic ideology be exposed for what it truly is.

It simple isn’t enough that people are doubting the war. Why should they? Is isn’t like we were lied to. It isn’t [...]
