My Thoughts on Things...

I was surprised and disappointed to see how close the recent vote was in the U.S. Senate on the proposed constitutional amendment to ban flag burning. I like to think our senators, on average, are more enlightened than that, but I suppose that's my naiveté showing.

In my mind, you legally protect things that are precious and rare. I haven't heard that there's a shortage of flags – in fact, my guess is we can make 'em pretty much as fast as we like or just order more from China. They're ... read more

Much of the conflict that arises between people could be avoided if more people stopped to think about how other people will be affected by their own words and actions.

Re: Visualhub OSX libraries (in Mac OS X) Here's what my old copy of that .plist file looks like, with a few things like my email address edited out (see below).

Re: How do I unzip a .rar file? (in Mac OS X) I like the "Unarchiver" utility for handling files OS X doesn't natively deal with. You can get it here:
