Four Years in the Jungle

In just under 10 minutes at 16:45 UTC (8:45 AM Pacific, 11:45 AM Eastern) it will have been exactly four years since I first walked in the door at my current employer. On the whole it has been a good four years. I like it. Looking forward to the next year. There is more fun stuff to do!

Four years! Woo! I’ve been here as long as a Presidential term in office! Woo!

Countdown To Reform 15 March 2010
I've grown weary of calling anything involving health care reform "do or die" since it's been in a zombie state since January. However, this is shaping up as a critical week, with a vote in the House expected Friday or Saturday on the Senate version of the bill. Democrats are whipping furiously to secure the votes needed to pull off step […]

Vernon Harmon had a miserable night. The room across the hall apparently has college kids in it and every hour they woke me up with screeching and shouting in the hall. First it was super-drunk girls, falling all over, then with the guys trying to keep them quiet, then just the guys banging on the door, then guys fighting. Today is going to be a loooong one. 15 March 2010

Phobos Flyby Images 15 March 2010
On March 3rd, the European Space Agency’s Mars Express spacecraft did its closest flyby of Mars’ largest moon Phobos. These images are not from that flyby, just so there is no confusion. These images are instead from the March 7th flyby that followed. Quick note; about the second image, Phobos-Grunt is an ambitious upcoming Russian sample return mission sche […]

eldavojohn writes "The Guardian is reporting on the strained relationship that Scientology is having with the German government and the airing of a pesky documentary on Southwest Broadcasting.

Israel’s Settlement Actions Causing Military Problems For America 15 March 2010
So says General Petraeus. Sec. Clinton was pretty blunt about this: “The announcement of the settlements on the very day that the vice president was there was insulting,” Clinton said in an interview with CNN Friday. “It was just really a very unfortunate and difficult moment for everyone, the U.S., our vice president who had gone to reassert America’s stron […]

On That Map Again Again 15 March 2010
I referred to Jerusalem being 84 percent Arab in 1946 according to the latest less loaded map I published. On the map, "Jersualem" refers to a large area that includes Jerusalem and a great deal of what is now the West Bank as well, as you can see from the map, not the city itself. My apologies for the confusion. In 1946, Jews were a majority of th […]

Goldberg subsequently appended this clarification: ""When I implied above that […]

The Perfect Caesar Salad? 15 March 2010
Yes, to many diners, the Caesar seems as fresh as a week-old sardine. The salad has been done. It's played. Toast.Or is it?I've been on the search for the best Caesar since I started cooking. And that's a mighty long time ago.Julia Child (of course) first turned me onto this savory salad, culled from her childhood memory, tossed table side at […]
