I started out with technology in the early 90's and never stopped. Now starting to get back to my roots.

In the meantime I have owned an IT business, served in the military, wrote a book and a bunch of other stuff.

I have other stuff you can see from here..

    I'm guessing 1970. What do you think?

    Jump

  • I was thinking late 60’s but I saw the grounded wall receptacle and I’m leaning toward early 70’s.

  • Three ships in Strait of Hormuz hit by 'unknown projectiles'

    Jump

  • If only we could have known that Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz if attacked! /s

  • Oil price is going up in real-time, over 109 at the time of posting

    Jump

  • Presently bouncing around $116

  • Russia Supplying Iran with Intelligence to Target U.S. Forces, Says Report

    What’s the news in Venezuela?

  • A serious story with some not so serious colleagues

    Jump

  • I may have guffawed. Lol

  • Air Force bans smart glasses for troops in uniform

    Jump

  • Smart glasses weren’t already banned?! Sweet Baby Yoda…

  • Consumer hardware is no longer a priority for manufacturers

    Jump

  • Probably because the hardware is going into systems that eliminate jobs and we become broke. All that gear is gonna sit on the shelf if we can’t afford it.

  • The Military Is Being Forced to Plan for an Unthinkable Betrayal

    Jump

  • That is true but he didn’t declare war so he didn’t break the law. I WISH that we’re breaking the law but the fact is Congress has abdicated that responsibility and there is precedent to support the executive killing people with the use of the military.

    We need Congress to stand up for itself and revoke the ability to abuse the use of the armed forces, by making laws that have consequences and enforce those consequences on any executive who breaks them, even if they’re in the majority’s party.

  • The Military Is Being Forced to Plan for an Unthinkable Betrayal

    Jump

  • Congress has largely looked the other way for some 50 years as far as war powers go (along with a lot more of its exclusive power). Worse yet while there is text to say that the executive will execute the laws created by congress, they largely pick and choose the laws they enforce and to what degree, which is constantly ignored (especially when the executive and majority in congress share the same party).

    We now have a situation where the executive sees how loose the responsibility and accountability congress wields, and now decides to violate the norms and there no standard for congress to follow. Congress all seem to be looking at each other shrugging, while rank and file military see nothing in a future of pain and loss for standing up to do the right thing because ultimately nobody has thier backs.

  • The Military Is Being Forced to Plan for an Unthinkable Betrayal

    Jump

  • I only wish treaties were upheld as laws are but we have a long history of treaties being broken and no trial took place other than a trial of arms. If only we had an international court, unanimously agreed upon by the nations of the world.

  • The Military Is Being Forced to Plan for an Unthinkable Betrayal

    Jump

  • What’s the illegal order then? Is it illegal to attack an ally because you want something they have? There probably isn’t a law against that specifically, and if there is, how are service members going to know that?

  • Pence eyes comeback as the ‘Project 2025’ war room implodes
