when the media clouds and distorts

everything what do you do? ... by pass them.

I have to admit that I didn't believe Obama would be as big on technology as he'd preached when he visited the Googleplex during his campaign. Now that he's in office, I'm impressed to see him pushing the limits of engaging with citizens via technology and by passing the distorted media by using technology.

Too much Taxes

Perhaps I'm just cranky about paying my Personal Property Tax bill for Fairfax County, but I'm fed up with too many taxes in general.

So I always like to do a little math from the info sheet FX County gives me.

It says that they plan to collect $3,319,047,284 in FY 2008. The estimated # of households for FX county is 377,600. So that's about $8,790 per household to live here. I'd have to look and see how that compares to other counties but seems like an awful lot to me!!

Now on to education expense. From Wikipedia it says that enrollment in FCPS is at 164,843, now divide that by the amount that goes to schools from the sheet FX County gave me which is $1,734,459,426 and you get $10,521.88 per pupil.

Now I will refer you to UVA, where in state tuition for their engineering school is $3,927 per semester. Assuming two semesters, that would be around $8,000.

Now you tell me, would you rather take a voucher for $10,521 and send your kid to UVA and still have $2,500 left over to spend on books, etc.? Or send them off to a Govt. run monopoly?

Now I know you can't exactly send your 1st grader to UVA, but you get my point here. $10K buys a whole lot better education at a private institution, then at a public one.

Please SOMEBODY try this!!!

I don't eat fish, but I would love to hear the results from my culinary inclined friends of how cooking Salmon in your dishwasher turns out.

The Untapped Bloggers!

Well, Big Al's Friends Blog is no doubt, a bit slow on content generation. Not sure if that is my fault, or my blogger friends. Apparently instead of enlisting Brad as a blogger, I should have enlisted his wife and sister. Melissa's and Lynn's blog, Sugar City Journal seems to be updated much more frequently than this one.

Where are my blog'n buddies these days?

Apple - iPod touch

Although I wasn't big on the iPhone (doesn't beat my Blackberry), I do like my iPod and am game for the new Apple - iPod touch.

***Update*** I take it back. I thought these things had 160 GB of space. With only 16GB forget it. Will have to wait until they upgrade the size on the iPod Touch.

Testing...Adblock Plus

I have noticed that advertising is either A) distracting me, or B) slowing down my page loads.

So I just installed Adblock Plus :: Firefox Add-ons and am testing it.

So far so good.

SanDisk Launches 32 Gigabyte Solid State Drive

Very nice, I wonder how it will hold up to the Windows page file constantly being written to?


SanDisk Launches 32 Gigabyte Solid State Drive: "Windows Vista Enterprise in as little as 35 seconds. It also can achieve an average file access rate of 0.12 milliseconds, compared with 55 seconds and 19 milliseconds, respectively, for a laptop PC with a hard disk drive.

Another advantage of SanDisk SSD is its extremely low power consumption rate compared to the hard disk drive: 0.4 watt during active operation versus 1.0 watt . This is particularly important to extend the battery life for the benefit of enterprise mobile users.

The 1.8-inch 32GB solid state drive is now available for original equipment manufacturers. "
