Short Term MemoryWeapons found on the Mavi MarmaraThe May 31st "Free" Gaza Flotilla incident has, for the most part, disappeared from news headlines, except for the occasional Turkish demand for Israel to apologize for its soldiers defending themselves in the deadly ambush meant to murder them. And I thought Israel was supposed ...

“Free” Gaza FlotillaTo my great disappointment, I was once again saddened this morning to read that at least 10 people were killed on the "free" Gaza Flotilla, and dozens injured, as Israeli Navy Commandos boarded their ships to prevent them from reaching Israeli territory.

The Daily 9/11On September 11, 2001, approximately 3,000 American citizens were murdered in an act of terror against the United States. This occurrence literally paralyzed the country in many respects, and as was repeatedly reported, "changed the world forever." -- or so we were told.

Life == ProgrammingI was once told that computer programming is considered one of the ten most emotionally rewarding jobs. As an exceptional computer programmer myself, this made perfect sense. It's a pretty amazing feeling to spend hours, days, weeks, or even months developing software, and then actually use it - or even ...
