Republicans are Losing Libertarians
The Washington Post has written up an article confirming my earlier prognostication… the Republican Party is losing the vote of the libertarians, and the libertarians are growing. Libertarians usually vote for Republicans, who promise to hold down taxes, spending and regulation. But in the past six years of Republican control in Washington, federal spending has […]

Blaming Congress for the War
One thing I forgot to mention yesterday. When Specter was on the radio pitching for Santorum, he was lamenting the fact that the people of Pennsylvania are punishing Santorum over an unpopular war. He ridiculed this idea, since the Senate wasn’t to blame for the war… it was Bush and the rest of the executive […]

Conservative? Really??
It’s very difficult for us real conservatives nowadays. I was listening to Senators Rick Santorum and Arlen Spector on the radio the other day. Santorum is in a tough fight right now with Bob Casey, and Casey has taken a rather large lead in the polls. Now, personally, I have little reason to believe that […]

Upgrading Ubuntu to Edgy
Ubuntu 6.10* (a.k.a. Edgy) was released yesterday to great fanfare. Edgy is a “minor release”, while their last release, 6.06 (a.k.a. Dapper) is known as a Long Term Support (LTS) release. The LTS releases are “supported for 3 years on the desktop and 5 years on servers.” However, for those of us who like the […]

McNabb Can Play
100+ degrees in Tampa. The Eagles are losing. McNabb throws a touchdown, pukes, recovers, throws another touchdown. That’s pretty cool.

A New Commission Forms
We received a package today from Grant McCabe, the Stated Clerk for the new Philadelphia Metro West Presbytery. The package contained a cover letter describing the members of the commission appointed to hear our complaint we sent in a few months ago. While no date has been set for the actually commission hearing, they’ve given […]

Pennsylvania Loan Rate Caps
I tried to get on loan recently on Prosper.com and found out an interesting piece of information. Pennsylvania actually limits how much interest one person can change another for a personal loan, and it’s a very low 6%. Prosper has created a web page listing all the states and their limits on personal loans. Well, […]

One week later…
Leah’s doing fantastic! She’s eating well, very alert and much loved by her siblings. Everyone is asking “does she sleep through the night?” Um, no. Newborns do NOT sleep through the night. Newborns eat and poop through the night. But, these things indicate that she is thriving and I don’t mind waking up every two […]

I’m sure most of you know already, but since I’ve been lax keeping the website up-to-date, here’s my “We had a baby!” post. Leah Grace Albrecht was born on Wednesday, September 20, at 2:35am. She was 7lb 13oz, and mother and baby are doing well. We also got the pictures online for everyone to appreciate. […]

Utterly Defeated Super Mario Brothers
Two weeks ago, my wife let me purchase a Nintendo DS for something to keep me busy during my long flights overseas. Today, I completed the New Super Mario Brothers games. By defeated, I mean I earned three stars by beating the game, grabbing and spending every gold coin, and defeating every level (including alternate […]

The Eye of a Five-year-old
I took the day off of work and took the family to the zoo yesterday. As I was getting my camera stuff together, I remembered that we still had our old A300 digital camera. So, for fun, I put new batteries in the camera, cleared out the little 32mb memory card, and gave Thomas a […]
