Hey Matt,
Considering that you are in the field of customer service and technical support with computers I was wondering how you’ve received Windows Vista. I’m sure you get a lot of questions on the topic with new computers and such and I guess I come somewhat as a customer as I just sold my [...]

The BBC reported today on a study done by the Pew Internet and American Life Project which finds that people who use wireless internet access are more involved in the internet than those who do not. I’d like to know who thought it might’ve been any different.

Toward a more Savage Nation
Selwyn Duke Selwyn Duke
February 23, 2007
The Savage Nation is a land where political correctness finds no safe harbor. Savage unabashedly waxes patriotic, as he fights the culture war with a battle cry of “Borders, language and culture.” He rightly sounds the alarm about radical Islam, the invasion by illegal aliens, the [...]
