Anybody know about a Martial Art called “Kavanah”?

I have not been able t ofind a description of it. It is supposedly an Israeli martial art. It looks like the office complex I work in is going to have an off-hours instructor in it. I have never heard of it though. “The Crane”

Great Freeway Sign Hack!!!

I spotted this on FoxNews.com. There are still real hacker heroes

This Cow Photo at Reason is Freaky.

Here is where I saw it. Even as a Wisconsinite, it is a bit freaky to me. Also, a bit sexy.

Walker Royall is an Asshole

Read about it here at Reason’s blog. He can be thankful that all of the rumors about him and semi-amorous liaisons with Gerbils seem to have been scrubbed from the internet. I think his collection of homemade hamster porn videos will be a bigger story when it breaks.

Two of my Harry Connick Jr concert photos…

…were used here. Here they are:

“Weaponize Western Culture”

I liked the turn of phrase “Weaponize western culture” that I heard earlier this morning on the 1/26/2008 Covert Radio Podcast. The context (from the accompanying blog entry) was Influence Warfare: Best stories of the day–Taliban talk radio–used to intimidate and mark for death their enemies…can we not jam it? Can we not counter program  [...]

I am sick

I hope to resume blog reading, commenting and posting (including my On War articles) this week real soon. My current diet

“Stimulunacy” – (On The Bailout Series)

Sigh. While the various interest groups disagree over what the hundreds of billions should be spent on, they all buy into the superstition that government spending boosts “demand”. In fact, it does no such thing. A year from now, when the “stimulus” has disappeared without a trace and unemployment is higher than it is now, [...]

“We Are 5GW”

This comment from Shloky (and Lexington Green’s reply) had me laughing in a good way. Funny turn of phrase aside, there is a nugget of wisdom regarding what may have been the true value of the GMW.

My Favorite Song of All Time: Cole Porter’s Night and Day

This started out as a comment but, I making it a post. 1) Cole Porter wrote the song for Fred Astaire: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV5e7mWcQJE There is a very nice/different version Astaire recorded in the 1950’s that I can’t find on-line.

TDAXP is taking the lead with a souvenir edition of the Dreaming 5GW PoV on 5GW theory by calling for chapter ideas and submissions for a 5GW Book. This is a great idea (and overdue). I hope CGW can be coaxed into participating. MY suggestions are here. Glenn Anderson has a posting on Making Meme [...]

Is VisiCalc responsible for the Current Finacial Crisis? (“On the Bailout” Series)

John C. Dvorak thinks so. He makes an interesting case.

Draft – Shadows of 5GW: The Default American PoV has become a Leftist POV

I started writing this back some time. I wrote out the rest of on a legal pad in long hand which I can not f*cking find at the moment! Since Seerov, is heading into this area, I want to publish what I have so far. I will re-write the rest shortly. So here it is [...]

Gaza and Sharia

Hmmm…. PC: Talk to me about Gaza, your hometown. What, in your opinion, is really going on there? ND: The world needs to understand the roots of the eternal conflict, which is the Sharia law commandment to kill all Jews. Peace can only happen if such roots are exposed and understood. For decades, Arabs had [...]

Fixing Milwaukee Note: Buh Bye Milwaukee School Board Idiotarian Hardinh

She corrupt. She’s an Idiot. And now soon she’ll be gone. The lack of nine valid signatures appeared Thursday to have brought an end to Charlene Hardin’s controversial, 12-year career on the Milwaukee School Board. “This letter is to formally notify you that your nomination papers did not include 400 valid signatures required to have [...]

What up?

I haven’t felt like posting much this week. I was a bit under the weather earlier in the week, just really tired. I have a bunch of 5GW posts I want to make and other business and security posts. Looks like Milwaukee is going to get snowed in again this weekend, so I may just [...]

Happy Birthday Elvis…

Fun with IM

A co-worker of mine who is being “rightsized” and myself recently had an IM conversation. I am especially proud of a snippet that went something like this: Him: I am tired of IT,I think I hate it. I want to do something else. I am really interested in Horticulture. I think I want to study [...]

Happy New Year!
