Larry’s Log

Back last December I was laid off from the company that I was working for. They closed their Atlanta office six months after I had accepted a position with them. The previous company I was with I had worked for for fifteen years. I’ve had a laptop computer provided for me by my employers for [...]

Dear Raed is a blog published from Bahgdad. It’s still being updated. Todays entry made me stop and think.

On BBC we are watching scenes of Iraqis surrendering. My youngest cousin was muttering "what shame" to himself, yes it is better for them to do that but still seeing them carrying that white flag makes something [...]

Shelley, I just want to say that I really love your book. Perhaps it’s because we grew up during the same era but most likely it’s because you really know how to write. I suspect both of those reasons are the key to my enjoyment of this book.

Sid Caspersen, New Jersey’s director of the office of counter-terrorism, has his own idea as to where to take things should we go to a Red Alert.

“You literally are staying home, is what happens, unless you are required to be out. No different than if you had a state of emergency with a snowstorm.”

I’m not [...]

I’ve had a busy week and I’m anxious to spend a little time in the kitchen tonight. What’s on the menu? Caribbean Chicken Breast served with brown rice, a spinach salad and Gallo’s Twin Valley White Merlot 2001. Want the recipe for the chicken? Here ya go.

6 oz. skinless, boneless chicken breast
1 oz. ham, thinly [...]

Rael has released Blosxom 2.0 RC1. I’ve been playing with the beta releases right here and I’m impressed with the added functionality that the plugins offer.

I expect bombs to be dropping over Baghdad in the next few hours and once that hammer drops I will not be commenting on things concerning Iraq as far as whether or not I am supporting this action. Under war conditions I will always be in support of actions that will result in as few [...]

It’s pretty clear that Americans want to know where we stand with the rest of the world in regards to our invasion of Iraq. Its also apparent that once know we don’t really care where it is we stand as long as everyone else on the UN Security Council takes a stand themselves. A huge [...]

I always enjoy Tommy Lee Jones in a movie. It isn’t that I think he is all that good of an actor, it’s just that something about the way he portrays his character just always entertains me. That’s about the best thing I can say about The Hunted.

This movie is a cross between First Blood [...]

Natalie Maines is ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas. That sentiment wouldn’t mean much coming from your average Texan who has deep feelings against a war with Iraq but Natilie isn’t your average Texan, she’s the lead singer for The Dixie Chicks.

Now, I’m a Dixie Chicks fan and have been [...]

The events leading up to the death of Zoran Djindjic, Serbia’s Prime Minister, has all the elements needed to make a major motion picture™.

In October 2000, shortly before orchestrating a successful uprising against Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, Serbia’s future prime minister met the man who would one day be accused of ordering his assassination.

This is [...]

I’m not sure I’m ready for this but it does make sense; a marketing analysis of the upcoming war and the need for branding.

How to make money on the internet selling pet supplies. (link complements of Ev.)

Here’s a dish that I fixed the other night that Gerri and I really enjoyed. Even though salmon is an oily fish and its nutrition label shows that over half its calories are derived from fat it’s suppose to be good at lowering cholesterol, which is great for Gerri, but I just like it.

1 – [...]

A month ago French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin visited India and told people there that France is supportive of the addition of India as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Coucil. I think this is a great idea. I believe that India is a more appropriate member of the UNSC than France is.

Oh, [...]
