As of this writing, June 12, 08:32 AM CDT, NetworkSolutions is totally hosed.   Their main page won’t come up, their DNS servers are down, and their WHOIS servers are down now.   I’m shocked that a company this big, this old, and this necessary, can have a total collapse like this.  GoDaddy should capitalize on this today.

My friend Brian, pretty much sums up everything I’ve been thinking about the Palm platform for the last six or more months.  I have an old Palm Tungsten T, which is very outdated of course, but nothing from the Palm line really excites me.  There is a definite lack of focus with the Palm platform, and I think a lot of the developers have now moved on to other platforms.  The Palm platform is very much adrift, and I honestly think it’s too late.

For the first time, I’ve officially joined a political party. It took a lot of goading from my fiance Kelly, and even the threat of her surreptiously registering me as a Democrat. However, now that it’s done, I have to admit I feel a little better about it. My disgust of the two major parties is now officially on the books. If any of my rants appear to be anti-Bush, rest assure, I’m just as much against the pathetic Democratic party.

I don’t agree with the entire platform of the Libertarian Party, specifically their foreign policy ideas. However, on the more important economic issues, I very much agree with the platform, and look forward to doing what I can to further promote the free market.
