Musings from some guy who know stuff...and thinks he knows other stuff, and has opinions on just about everything, and is more than happy to tell you what he thinks and why...when he has time and the inclination to sit down and write in this thing.

Komen Needs a Cure For Stupid
Oh, well. Hopefully this means I will stop seeing pink crap everywhere. In the meantime, read this and donate to Planned Parenthood.

Bill Gates
So, Bill Gates uses his vast wealth and, I guess, fame to publicly help the impoverished throughout the world.
I've never been a huge windows fan due to their anti-competitive practices and memory hogging bloat, and I'm not exactly a Bill Gates fan. Still, it is the rare crazy-rich person in this world who does what he has through his foundation, and I really think that his present day actions should be more often held up as an example. More, I wish that influential rich people of a more public nature (like Oprah) would do similar real good with their wealth. Rather than use it to peddle crap like that horrible Secret book.
