My Mission
My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. Now that I'm retired I still use GNU/Linux on every computer in my home except the smartphones which run Android/Linux.Lately, I've been giving lots of thought to the world I inherited and which I will leave to my descendants. I'm planting grass, trees, flowers and vegetables in my large lot and I've ordered a Solo EV. I plan to charge my Solo by means of a tracking solar array. Life is good if you have a purpose. I do.

Words And Misdemeanours
Misdemeanours and high crimes are supposedly what the US constitution sets as limits to presidential behaviour for impeachment. I think the present FAKE POTUS has greatly exceeded his quota: LIAR! LIAR! LIAR!, TRAITOR, BULLY, PIG (apologies to pigs, some of … Continue reading
I Tweet, Therefor I Am
I’ve been on Twitter for ages but not very active. I was moved to Tweet today because of the mindless repetition of the “we’ll wait for Mueller” stuff. This time it was from Adam Schiff…
Evangelism!?!?
“With the unique exception of white evangelical Protestants, majorities of all other major religious groups have an unfavorable opinion of Trump. Majorities of black Protestants (80%), religiously unaffiliated Americans (75%), Hispanic Catholics (74%), non-Christian religious Americans (73%), white mainline Protestants … Continue reading
Trumpism Becoming Irrelevant On The Global Stage
“Once again, the Trump administration is pandering to corporate polluters at the expense of those suffering the worst impacts of climate change. From boasting about fossil fuel production to refusing endorsement of the staggering UN IPCC report on the climate … Continue reading

Wishful Thinking By Trumpists
“President Trump’s top economic adviser on Monday said the White House wants to end subsidies for electric vehicle purchases, without saying how it would eliminate the incentives that were created by Congress. Larry Kudlow, director of the White House National … Continue reading

ByeBye Gas-Guzzlers
“a collapse of oil supply to half of its current size within only six years simply cannot be compensated by new oil findings and certainly not by unconventional oil sources like oil sands and fracking. That the Oil Majors did … Continue reading

Trump Is An Idiot
Trump blames California for it’s fiery disaster. He blamed forest management and now he’s adding “raking the weeds” as deficiencies. I guess he’s never seen a forest. Every crumb of every tree falls to the ground and is tinder after … Continue reading
