NYT: Evidence mounts for Taliban role in bomb plot →
Nine years ago our enemies killed nearly 4,000 citizens in an attack on New York City. In 2010 they make a bumbling attempt to blow up a used car using fireworks, some gas cans, and inert fertilizer. If this is the best they can do, it is obvious who is winning.
Why everyone's afraid of Apple →
I thought Apple made some good stuff, but now I’m excited for see them get crushed in the coming years. The stuff about their stock price is insane.

FRONTLINE: the vaccine war →
Didn’t think I’d enjoy this as much as I did. I hate to say it, but I think vaccine haters are quickly on their way to joining the realm of birthers and 9/11 conspiracy theorists.
Things I believe
I believe…
People should always seek out different points of view.
People who cut in line are shallow.
Homeschooling is a terrible idea.
I need to go to bed.
Science can help explain everything.
Good ties and good suits shouldn’t make me as excited as they do.
I should be able to own a gun.
Everyone should be allowed to try and fail at things.
Free speech is a great idea....

Patronage
We went downtown to the St Patrick’s day parade today and the first half of the parade was various groups of dancers, tumblers, bands, and families using the names of powerful politicians. It made me sick.
It’s almost as bad as the Secretary of State of Illinois turning the DMV into his personal shrine and making me write my car tab payment out to the man himself.
It makes me think...

I contemplated signing up for a Twitter account so I could give Customs and Border Protection some feedback on my recent international travel.

Deadspin vs. ESPN →
This is a good overview of the heavyweight battle. I’m going to fall in the middle on this one. From all accounts, ESPN has a serious problem with their workplace atmosphere. I don’t think airing all of the dirty laundry is necessarily justified by Deadspin, but its obvious that ESPN has been covering its own ass for years now.
