Yes, today is St. Patrick’s Day. It is also the day that, in a humorous bent, many people refer to each other as Irish-Americans in the U.S., as an inclusive way to harmonize with other festivity-goers for the holiday.
For me, however, it holds a deeper significance, since it reminds me of why I participate as [...]

Maybe this ought to be called “the FUD Edition”, Part II… After one year, remember the first FUD Edition?

I managed to catch part of the broadcast of Obama’s town hall meeting earlier today.

During today’s interview of Geithner by the Senate panel for the upcoming financial fixes, Mark Warner (D-VA) made a notable comment about how there should be a strong expectation that Geithner and his department must provide transparency quickly to the public about how the TARP monies have been spent and how the new heavy-duty econo-package [...]

A Flashback…
I’m sure several of you recall that statement I made in one of our impromptu Starbucks meetings a few months ago about the possible outcome of the impending digital TV signal switch-over.
