    • Starbucks helps widen the great divide
      Headline from a opinion piece by a lifelong black resident of Philadelphia: “Starbucks wasn’t created for black folks, it was made to push us out.” The piece appeared this week in response to the widely reported arrest of two young black men at a Starbucks in Philly’s affluent Rittenhouse Square section. The store manager called […]

    • Assange, Wikileaks and Shooting the Messenger
      So, as you have probably heard, Ecuador, which has Julian Assange in its London embassy, has restricted all communication by him to outsiders save his lawyers. No visitors, no phone, no email. They have even gone so far as to install radio jammers. The proximate cause of this is that Assange supported Catalan independence and […]

    The thought of watching a roll call vote would still make me sick.

    • Washington, DC trip report August 19, 2015
      Body:  Last week I went down to Washington, D.C. to deliver a paper at a conference in the technical field where I worked, ten years or so and two or three careers ago, before the dot.com trash.
