Link Dump

I’m not much of a fan of link dumps, but I’ve been bad and let stuff pile up that I wanted to blog on, so here goes:

EPA Updates MPG Estimates

The EPA has updated its published estimates of MPG for all vehicles from 1985 to the present to match more common driving patterns.

Corrupted PC’s Find New Home In Dumpster

People are so lazy that when their computers get infected by viri and spyware, they are choosing to throw them away and buy new machines instead of fixing them. Even worse, some buy Macs to replace them, more than likely because they’re brainwashed by the idiots who go around proclaiming that Macs are invulnerable to all malware.

A User’s Guide to EULAs

A warning about the illegal terms that software publishers try to force on users who buy their wares.

Life at Google – The Microsoftie Perspective

A leaked internal memo of an interview with a former Google employee reveals the culture inside Google.

Could you pass the U.S. citizenship test?

A list of some questions that are on the civics test to become a US citizen. I got 19 out of 20. I only missed number 19, and I bet you’ll discover why.

Toledo War

The root of all hostilities can be traced back to the Michigan Territory’s invasion of the Toledo Strip (part of Ohio) in the 1800’s.

The Links That Power The Web

Well, my links help anyway. Pop over to the Links page to see what I like. This list might expand over time. Also, I finally put together an about me page. It sucks, but, then again, that’s why I don’t write autobiographies for a living.

The gallery is slowly becoming a long-term project. I might start hacking away at it next weekend, but don’t expect something substantial for a while. I just got a little carried away with the schedule before.
