I’ve removed the Political category from this part of the site. They are now located at http://politics.netswamp.com.

I’ve decided to revert back to WordPress for this site. The other framework installed here required continual reprogramming for the addition of features. That’s something I do all day at work, that I’d rather not have to do when I’m off. I have retained the old galleries and will integrate them in time. I [...] Play with me, PLEASE… Can we play now?… He’s my pal! linkscolor = “000000″; highlightscolor = “888888″; backgroundcolor = “FFFFFF”; channel = “none”; There was a time I would become emotional about politics in the USA. No – not brought to tears. More like – infuriated or disappointed. So much so, I had to take a break from the non-sense for a year or so for some introspection on the topic. I’ve reached a conclusion… Politics and [...] Iceland’s volcanos are alive and well. If you haven’t read the news, just ask any number of stranded passengers in many major airports in Europe.Travelers from all over the world have been impacted by cancellations due to the volcanic cloud drifting over Europe.

They leak?] There have been more than 20 leaks at nuclear power plants around the country. Vermomt Yankee, after drilling a monitoring well, found tritium in the soil and ground water. Tritium is a low-level radioactive by-product of nuclear plants. Fortunately, none of the material was found in drinking water supplies or the nearby Connecticut River.

I’d estimate that 90% are talking on their phones while driving and not paying attention. Drifting over lines, using more than one lane and not keeping-up with the pace of traffic are the outward signs of not focusing on the road.
Continue reading Technology Abused by Drivers… Trying to figure-out what all the hype is about over iPhones and other Smart phones lately. Like many, I reached my own conclusion before even touching one. Touch screens have to be a PITA to keep clean. Finger prints on my cellphone screen drive me nuts as it is, I couldn’t imagine using it for the interface. It would be a real mess, all that touching.
Continue reading Touch Screen Tech… Technology has been chewing-on businesses and governments alike over the past month or so. Google, recently bitten by a zero-day exploit in China, has been very vocal about this exploit and is threatening to pull out of China. This, in turn, has the U.S. government requesting a response from China on cyber security. Can’t blame the U.S. government for making a case, as IP’s from China have been traced as the source of several attacks over the past year or so. Needless-to-say, China is not happy about the bad press. In fact, they’ve been quite vocal in their denials and have basically told the U.S. “Don’t mess with our business”.
