Heavy work will making blogging light

19 April, 2013 (07:18) | Blogging | By: ricjames

So, we’re going to take up a hardwood floor that’s been damaged beyond reasonable repair and replace it. The replacing part will likely go easier than the removal part so I won’t be here in front of my computer much over the next day or so. Be back soon, folks.

The choice: Speak, or say nothing

15 April, 2013 (21:44) | Blogging | By: ricjames

It has been said that all that is required for evil to thrive is for good men to say nothing. I also firmly believe that evil results can issue forth from people with good in their hearts and belief in their intentions. So why am I remaining silent? It’s tiresome, yes, to reason with those [...]

Testing new writing software

17 January, 2013 (14:08) | Blogging | By: ricjames

Testing a new bit of blogging editor software. (Well, new to me, anyway.) Please stand by… The thoughts and commentary coming from this blog are mine and mine alone. When I quote someone else, I say so. When my prose is my analysis of the facts, as opposed to the facts, I make it clear. [...]

Faded connections: links that break due to old age

9 January, 2013 (19:36) | Blogging, Internet | By: ricjames

A recent reader just brought to my attention a link contained in one of my previous posts that was broken and she was most certainly correct. What had caused the link to break, however, was a matter of age. The post was from 2007 and the link was to a government agency that’s part of [...]

An update on Indian Affairs and a thank-you nod to a helpful reader

9 January, 2013 (17:24) | Blogging, History, Human Interest, Law, Politics | By: ricjames

I received an e-mail recently from a helpful reader who pointed out a broken link on a previous post (something I’ll be posting a bit more on, here, in just a moment) and I wanted to both call out her kindness and pass along the update. The post was actually one of HoodaThunk?’s all-time largest [...]

New Year, new engagement, new efforts

1 January, 2013 (12:31) | 2nd Amendment, Blogging, Politics, Religion, Science, Technology, The Media, Transportation, Virginia Politics | By: ricjames

Welcome to the new year. So this is what life after the end of the world looks like. Who knew? 2012 was certainly a year of ups and downs, and plenty of the latter. It’s no secret that the elections didn’t turn out the way I wanted to see them go and I do believe [...]

Testing a new mobile app.

18 August, 2012 (09:59) | Blogging | By: ricjames

With my work life changing as it has, I need a blogging app capable of working on the go. I’m using my Kindle Fire more these days so we’ll see how this works for updating the blog. Hopefully, this will allow me to get more active again.

Pardon the dust…

…I’m re-working some of the page for the upcoming elections work.

Coroner’s report: Andrew Breitbart died of natural causes

21 April, 2012 (07:00) | Blogging, Human Interest, Politics, Technology, The Media | By: ricjames

I followed Andrew Breitbart on Twitter and seeing him re-tweet some of the vile spewage directed at him by some of the so-called “enlightened” leftists made me smile. Breitbart believed strongly in making them stand by their words and those words were usually sputtering profanity. One of the things I noticed very quickly was how [...]

Overrated? Shapiro’s list of overrated songs shows music is seriously a matter of taste.

13 April, 2012 (09:13) | Blogging, Entertainment, Human Interest | By: ricjames

Via WTOP, I see that Ben Shapiro penned a post titled, “Top 10 Overrated Songs Of All Time.” With a title like that, you know it’s going to be totally subjective but, hey, I had to go see anyway. His list, and my reaction? Any song by Lady Gaga – While there are songs of [...]
