Medical Marijuana

“She said her condition requires the whole plant”. Of course it does! I’m 100% for making pills out of marijuana. If your illness requires the whole plant then you will have to do without. If your illness could can be treated by stem cells harvested from aborted babies–you will have to do without. Just because […]

Lack of Development on Google’s Gmail and Inbox

Google’s Gmail/Inbox is the most used mail system on earth with nearly a billion users. I’ve been using Gmail since it started. The whole time I’ve been dumbfounded by the lack of development Google has given it. I know email systems pretty well. I worked at Novell on the GroupWise product for over a decade. […]

My boy was recently in a high school lockdown. Watching law enforcement search each classroom one at a time seemed inefficient and dangerous. I think there are ways to make that better. Here is an idea I came up with. Click image for PDF.   Click link for PDF: Project Lockdown

Syrian Refugees

Concerning Republicans concerns over accepting Syrian refugees, Obama says, “apparently, they’re scared of widows and orphans”. The president never ceases to amaze me.

Directv are crooks

I signed up for Directv a year ago. Today I realized on my credit card statement that they had added $42 in charges the last two months. I called about it and was told that I now had NFL Sunday ticket. I told them I never ordered it and that I wanted it removed and […]

Obamacare

This quote has been attributed to Donald Trump but I don’t think he said it. Regardless of who wrote it, I like it because it shows how Democrats run government. “We’re going to be ‘gifted’ with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don’t, which purportedly covers at least […]
