another blow to the Patriot act

According to MSNBC, a federal judge has struck down the part of the Patriot act allowing the FBI to demand financial records from businesses without a warrant as part of a terror investigation.

Maybe it's not time to overthrow our bloated worthless government. Yet.

welcome to the jungle

I had my camera at work today, so I took a picture of my office. Here it is: my vantage point on the rat race, complete with dual whiteboards.

a little ancient history

I sent this to fort-awesome a while ago. I thought I'd put it here because it seemed (in)appropriate.

Today I went out to lunch with some of the guys here at SiLabs who ride motorcycles. That is, we left at lunch time, went for a short fast twisty ride, ended up at some hole in the wall, ate, and rode back in about two hours.

Before leaving the restaurant, I swapped bikes with one of the guys for the ride back. On the way back, I could hear the exhaust note of my bike over his (his bike's exhaust is damn quiet, and mine is a track pipe, i.e., quite loud). I thought to myself "damn it man, don't be afraid to rev the thing! The ram air isn't even coming on yet!"

Then it dawned on me: this must be what it's like to watch someone else fuck your wife. I wonder if people who do that sort of thing have an irresistable urge to be like, "c'mon man, you're doing it all wrong!" I guess I'm just too much of a control freak to be a swinging voyeur.

hooray for the assault weapons ban sunset

As you may be aware, the sunset of the "assault weapons" ban came and went two weeks ago. To celebrate, I got rid of my AK's ridiculous thumbhole stock in favor of the real pistol-grip-and-buttstock configuration.

Check out the before and after:

    After:

Hawt.

Note: I googled for these pictures; their original owners still, umm, own them.

my will is broken

Jack's blog did it. It broke me. Upon reading his blog, I became convinced that you, dear reader, might actually be interested enough in the mess of trivialities that is my life to make the whole damn project worthwhile.

Let's just see where this goes...
