My Politech post leads to news article… who knew?

So, I wrote an email that Declan McCullagh distributed to his Politech list, and someone used it as the basis of an article that mentioned my name - but didn’t bother to tell me… I just stumbled across it. -Thomas]

God, I was a major geek (more Google extracts)

[Wow… I was a serious geek; like, the most exciting and cool thing about tunnels under the college I attended was the fact that someone had hooked up a terminal to the school mini-computer, so that people could sit in the depths and read email and shit, just like they could do from their dorm […]

Thomas’ .sig file evolution during early 1994

[… this is pre-WebCom. I got this off a Google posting… note the lynx reference on the last line… my queries about how many accesses I was getting to the these files were what precipitated my business partner to write “The Netcom FTP Report”, which automated analysis of the then unimaginably huge 20 megabyte Netcom […]

Karl Rove: Foriegn Policy will win it for Bush

Howard Dean

Perspective on Dean from a Vermont Sierra Club Activist: negative

Below is a post regarding Howard Dean, from an internal Sierra club discussion list.
What amazes me most is the ability of so many people to fail to learn from history
regarding candidates like this.

While I will agree that even Howard Dean looks better than Dubya on the environment, we
all know that’s not saying much.

“phantoms of lost liberty” (John Ashcroft)

[I just had to record this for my own records. The “phantoms of lost liberty” quote will no doubt be one of the major things Ashcroft is remember for (along with draping lady justice in a shroud to preserve her modesty from Ashcroft’s vile pillaging of our civil liberties). -Thomas]

The Fun Never Stops - I’m being sued by Michael Savage now, for $500,000

The hypocrisy of it all…

[Yes, certainly, it is just a coincidence that the rails are rusting… the replacement has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that youth and homeless folk tend to congregate in the area… nothing at all. This is just totally innocent maintenance. GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK. -Thomas]
