Dateline: Portsmouth RI, 1 October 2004
Going to be shoving things out the door today and this weekend to accommodate the fact that I fly out tonight with son Kevin and we do Six Flags Great America on Saturday and the Packers versus the Giants on Sunday. There's no point in making that travel and spending that money only to be tethered to my laptop inappropriately. I remember going to Milwaukee Brewers' doubleheaders with my Dad in the 1970s (I'm talking watching Hank Aaron play left field for the last time in his career!), and those memories are some of my most cherished of our lives spent together. So I know how important this weekend is for Kev, and I want to be in that moment the entire time.
So it's a matter of clearing the deck of two long reviews (one nice, one not so nice) and reposting a bunch of material on the Sys Admin concept from ZenPundit, simply because I like his analysis so much.
Today I offer a lengthy (frankly, THE lengthy) review of PNM by Asia Times Online.
Then there's today's quick grab from the Times and Journal, as I save my Washington Posts for travel time (something to do between instruction periods to Kev on his state-in-a-box project for school):
■Kerry plays his card on Iraq about as well as he can
■Russia cuts the logical deal on Kyoto
■Choosing between the military of tomorrow and the security of today
■India looking very open for business under Congress Party
■UN rule in Bosnia shows how A-to-Z system already exists--just badly
