Rants On Patriotism
Orson Scott Card is normally recognized as an author of fantasy and science fiction books. His book "Enders Game" seems to be a required reading for most CS students at some point in their careers. That's what I was shocked to find a published rant authored by him online at the Ornery American.
The piece details what he sees as the current rift in American ideals, and why it's becoming so ugly between the two. It's a very good read, and worth taking the time out to finish it. It even avoids the preachy pro-Mormon tone a lot of his books absorb (well two or three paragraphs don't count). Go read, and let me know what you think of the article...

And We Are Off!
I'll be out of town for the next few days while I attend the Kentucky Derby. Looks like it will be a fun time so far!

The Rebel Yell
Todd seems to have decided that he's had enough of life in small upstate New York towns. With that decision came the bright idea to go and push himself further into life's adventures. Last year it was the triathalon, and this year it is... the New York to Florida motorcycle trip. The catch is he'll be avoiding the major roadways and trying to blog the whole thing. Check out the (hopefully) daily updates as the trip commences at MotoTrip.
Go UT!
