• About Me

    I’m an opinionated Grumpy Old Man. I enjoy the intellectual give and take that goes along with that, but have very little patience for stupid people (Note: there is a big difference between “stupid” and “educated”. Some of the stupidest people I’ve ever met have a PhD…). Beside arguing, I like to build things in almost any media. Right now I’m mostly building in wood, Lego, and a bunch of different electronic media. I teach in a number of different venues - from preschool all the way through graduate school. Subjects range from talmud to neuroscience to engineering.

    For fun, I like to bash people with swords (OK, so they’re made of foam. It’s still fun). Although I spend a lot of my time in a wheelchair, I manage to keep pretty active (Like bashing people with swords). I am a libertarian, and have a hard time finding anything good to say about government or politicians. OK, politicians might make good sausage, but that's about as good as it gets.

More on the Pirate Game

Posted on April 20, 2009 by sphyrnatude

Yes, game is the right word.
as long as the UN treats the pirates as if they were not criminals, it IS just a game. Over the weekend, the UN actually captured a pirate crew. It wasn’t that hard – the crew had attempted to take over a ship, and had been chased off. The UN [...]

Somali Pirates: What to do?

Posted on April 13, 2009 by sphyrnatude

Arghh Matey! (OK, so that’s probably a privateer, but what the heck, it sounds good)…
Somali Pirates are becoming so common that they aren’t even newsworthy unless it is a slow news day, and a large number of Americans (that would be USA Americans) are involved. Despite the pathetic state of the news media, today’s topic [...]
