It's come to this: Facebook suicide

Here's something that I got from Hotair.com.  It's a story about the negative effects of social software.  If you aren't aware of what "Social Software" is, just look at sites like Digg, Facebook, and any number of sites that let users create and share items (such as this blog).  The Facebook issue is actually quite interesting, but it can be a problem with just about any social software out there.
 
Update: I was talking to someone about this story, they pointed out the irony of joining a site for the purpose of helping leaving a site.  Pretty funny, eh.

Fishing - the best fishing website for the state of Washington

If you've read my blog, you know that I've gotten into fising over the past year.  If you ask my wife, she'd say it's an obsession.  I guess that's how I work.  In any case, the best website that I've found for Fishing around here is WashingtonLakes.com.  It's not just for lakes either.  There's a great community that's latched onto the website and all of them are very, very helpful.  Thanks to them, it's increased my knowledge about fishing faster than reading any books.  Although, I still like to read about fishing.  So, if you want to give your hand at trying to fish, have some questions, or you just want to know where the fishing is good, head on over and look at the reports or browse over the forums.

A good article about the War

This is a good article that everyone should read.  In short, Army National Guard Lt. Col. Chris Brady wrote an op-ed piece for the Christian Science Monitor that has gotten some attention.  John Hood from the National Review has blogged about it in The Corner, and I've heard about it on the radio.  Give it a read.  And, next time you hear that someone is a returned solder from Iraq, ask him about the progress there and give what the Media and certain Politicians say a little more scrutiny.

Lame people on the bus

While riding into work on the bus I had the pleasure of sitting near (at least within hearing distance) of two really lame people.  I'm not sure how their conversation started, but one person was a little too overjoyed that Al Franken was running for congress in Minnesota.  Yeah, that's JUST what this country needs, more partisan hacks that are so far away from reality that even the entertainment industry won't touch them.  I don't care what party they are with, nobody who represents such a large number of people should be that far from center.  And the fact that these people were so happy about it makes me realize that what would be considered a moderate in the rest of the country really is conservative up here.  Sad.

Quote of the day

While looking for some interesting quotes, I ran into this interesting quote:
"We demand entire freedom of action and then expect the government in some miraculous way to save us from the consequences of our own acts.... Self-government means self-reliance."
Calvin Coolidge, 30th U.S. president (1872-1933)
 What a great quote.  Seems like this was a great man and did great things for this country.  I'll have to learn a bit more about him.
