      • The Other Big Leak
        07/28/10
        I had not heard of Julian Assange or WikiLeaks until I read the quite lengthy article in the June 7th issue of The New Yorker. I was fascinated by one man's ability to create a system, supposedly un-hackable, that gives the world such an amazing information clearinghouse.

        Today, not

      • And the Winner Is...
        07/21/10
        I've amassed a fairly large collection of bric-a-brac and such over the years to feed my desire to re-arrange it all in some sort of aesthetic order. Yet, with all the crap I have, I manage to move freely and gingerly around my somewhat obsessively ordered world-o-stuff.

        As many of you know, Arizona is chock full of crazy public officials with the top contenders being McCain, Kyl and everyone's favorite whacked out sheriff Joe Arpaio. Jeez, I didn't even mention our illustrious guv'nor Jan Brewer. I could go on.

        We watched an amazing documentary called Manufactured Landscapes a few nights ago that features the photography of Edward Burtynsky.

        With the initiative to legalize marijuana on California's November ballot, there's many an opinion slinging across ye ol' internet. Even if passed, the possession and sale of said substance would still remain a federal crime. But, it's a start...

        Despite the broken toe, I managed to make it to the mountain for the 4th of July Mt Lemmon Parade, featuring the Mt Lemmon Marching Mandolin Band. This year was a tribute to the very fine gentleman who started this tradition a decade ago...Spencer Block. Spencer succumbed to a three year battle with

      • Up Oak Creek
        07/05/10
        Could have been a worse place to break your toe. It was on the last night of our trip to northern Arizona's Oak Creek Canyon. I didn't even know it was broken until the next morning when it was obvious it was more than a jam.

        The next day home, following an x-ray, found it to b
