First Principles

Hey – is this thing still on?  It is?  Wait, we’re posting?  Man, step away from a blog for a few years, and a guy forgets all his technical skills… Ah, that’s better.  Now – let’s see if I can remember how to cross promote across multiple platforms! The reason for blowing the dust off […]

This is probably the longest I’ve gone without blogging since I started doing it back in 2005.  There are a lot of reasons for that, but it’s time to come back, unlock the doors, blow off some dust, and open this shop back up.  I’ve been working on a series of posts about what Republicans […]

On this Christmas Day I come bearing the gift of Cuteness!  If this little video doesn’t help put you in the Holiday Spirit, I just don’t know what can. And just for fun for the nerdier amongst my readership, here’s a theoretical astrophysicist with the scientific background of Lillian’s story. Merry Christmas and a wondrous […]

I’m very honored by this – thank you, RGJ!

This is a funny little lesson on getting one’s facts straight. Today, I noticed that Chuck Muth had written a blog post about me, one which is just a straight up, flat out, verifiable flasehood.  There’s no other word for it.  I understand he’s upset with me for exposing his Republican-harming unethical conduct in the […]

I’m very excited to announce that my quiet little corner of the Blogosphere is about to get a little less quiet.  A new, national site called Politics in Stereo has just launched – the idea is to have a state-by-state lineup of various local points of view, and I’m very proud to have been asked […]

Bob Hastings put up a very interesting post about the sudden departure of KOH’s Bill Manders, lamenting the loss of local conservative media.  And while local, talented talk radio is something any community should always want more of, and is something Northern Nevada has a serious scarcity of, we don’t have to just complain.  Every […]

I’ll be on the Nevada NewsMakers pundit panel tomorrow – check their website for airtimes and/or streaming video.  Update:  The video of today’s show is up at the link. Also, I’ve updated and expanded my Nevada political blogroll over there to your right.  I’ve included some of the more significant lefty ones – always interesting […]

Yes, I know it’s been a few weeks.  No, I haven’t decided that individual liberty is overrated, nor have I developed a new-found belief that government bureaucrats are qualified to centrally manage an economy.  Really. It’s mostly owing to a ton of new responsibilities at work.  But I’ve also been working with a great bunch […]

One of the things that frustrated me when I first moved to Nevada a few years ago was the seeming dearth of local political blogs – at least Conservative ones.  I say “seeming” because  it wasn’t that they weren’t there, it was more that I just had a hard time finding them. A healthy and […]

A year ago today I found out I passed the bar.  A few days before that, I started this blog.  I can’t believe it’s been that long!  Thanks to all my readers thus far, and to all the people that have made the last year great!

2007 was a great year for me. I finally got grown up life underway, by which I mean I have a real job that doesn’t have a definitive end date, I no longer have homework to do, and I live in a house that I intend to live in for quite a while. And like […]

I find out if I passed the bar this Tuesday around noon. Why that has anything to do with blogging, I don’t know, except for a general sense of not wanting to do anything new or different lest I jinx the results somehow. That, and I’m drinking a lot of wine this weekend. And whatever […]

I’m still working on this site (and waiting until I’m sure I have a job before I start spouting off too profoundly).  This is more of a placeholder until I can get a proper introduction written, finish figuring out the site setup, etc.  In the next few days you may see some goofy changes, odd […]
