It really should go without saying, but I guess it really needs to be said. The US hasn’t used a nuclear weapon against another country since they were called “atomic bombs“, and there’s good reason for that. We’ve used other really scary weapons, but The Bomb always seemed just a bit too ridiculously deadly to justify. Until now.
So let me say it: Don’t nuke Iran. Hopefully it’s a statement that Congress can agree with enough to take a stand.
You may have noticed things shifting around on the page here. I’m adding back in some of the stuff we used to have on the page, like links to friends and the calendar and such. Let me know if something you knew and loved isn’t here yet, and I’ll pop it back on in a jiffy.
Making the site look like something other than the default WordPress theme will take a bit longer than a jiffy, but I’m working on it. I’m also working on Global Spin themed t-shirts, but who knows whether I’ll unleash those on the world. (Hint: there’s a distinct “freak” theme.)
Have a Prius? Wish it could get 100MPG in the city? Maybe the Prius+ is for you. It’s a PHEV, a plug-in electric hybrid, which lets you recharge the batteries from an outlet as well as from the car’s motor.
The details look a bit daunting, but the folks behind the project are demonstrating that they can convert a Prius in a weekend at this months Maker Faire in the Bay Area.
Like books? Have friends? Then Buy A Friend A Book this week. And if you happen to be my friend, I like science fiction and humor.
…but unlike some, a happy one! A little over three years ago, my “Hello, World!” post inaugurated Global Spin, The Blog. (Previously, it was just Global Spin, The Sometimes-Updated Site with News In Reverse Chronological Order.)
It seems appropriate that today is the day I flip the switch on the new WordPress blog, in all its not-customized-yet glory. Happy reading, and thank you!
