At 4:30 this morning I had to leave the house. It was -12 deg F (actual temp). By the afternoon it was 3 deg F. A swing of 15 deg F. and it felt warm (?) or at least not cold anymore. Amazing how the human body (and brain) can adjust.
Sadly we're not going to get the snow like central Illinois […]

Microsoft Gave FBI BitLocker Encryption Keys, Exposing Privacy Flaw

@xgranade Liberals understand the police from a sort of abstract game-theoretic social-contract theory; there are rules which we all implicitly agreed upon when we left the state of nature, yet some (Bad People) will break those rules. Thus we must have referees (Police) who will understand the […]

If you love old-time radio — and by gosh, who doesn't? — I host "Seems Like Old Times" Sunday nights at 7 p.m. Eastern U.S. time.
Tonight, it's "Jack Benny," "Fibber McGee & Molly" and "Boston Blackie" from this week in 1946, plus "Dragnet" from this week in 1951:

Winter started off so well. We had a couple storms that put a lot of snow on the ground. Now we're jumping between mid-50 deg F days and below freezing with no snow to speak of and nothing in the future. (Maybe an inch of snow on Friday but I doubt even that). Last year we had almost no snow & […]
