Moores law
I’m watching Fahrenheit 9/11 tonight. Yep, you guessed it. I’m in the political documentary phase of my Netflix queue. It is actually very entertaining, especially when following along with Cato Instiute’s David Kopel’s 59 Deceits. I think I haven’t had this much fun since I watched This is Spinal Tap.

Supersize Me
I watched the Supersize Me tonight. Very disturbing. The guy’s liver basically shuts down after eating nothing but McDonald’s for a month. He talks about many reasons why the growth in fast food in America and it’s incumbent obesity in the US. Increased marketing to children, the addictive quality of the foods, it’s low cost…

If the shoe fits…
…wear it. But what if the shoe fits and you don’t want to wear it. You’re wearing a custom fitting wing tip and all you want to put on is a size XL plastic flip flop? Or the inverse, your cowboy boot rubs your second ‘hammer’ toe a little too often. I’m not going to…

I was 16 in…

I wonder if she appreciates having a little brother in her house again. Kate made the best bread tonight.…

Kei and I travelled to see Heidi on her 21st Birthday on Saturday morning. We delivered a vintage Trek I outfitted with upright bars, new brakes and a shiny brass bell. { gallery [HeidiBirthday] }

Idaho Legislature commends Napoleon Dynamite
The quick and dirty The Bill I liked how they referenced “tots” in the bill as Idaho’s most important export.

Taxes
Oh boy, it’s tax time. The question is, to do it myself or to go somewhere. There is a smart looking sexy woman a la Tina Fay on the H&R Block site. But the Turbo Tax web page has a youthful couple obviously having a blast doing their taxes on their laptop. I need a…
