Link of the Day [7.03.13]

Gettysburg.

The more I think about our nation. The more I come to believe in Gettysburg. The Union won. The Confederates lost. One hundred fifty years later, we are still fighting that fight. States rights versus the Federal government. Whites versus blacks. Brother versus brother.

It’s still going on. We have lots to make up for. We haven’t solved anything.

Still. Gettysburg.

It’s awe inspiring. This is where our nation clung to the hope of being one nation. It is where the hubris of the southern gentlemen died. It is where the north held the field and brought the nation back together and from being rent asunder in is a small town in Pennsylvania. Lovely. Complicated. Hallowed ground.

Link of the Day [7.01.13]

Why’d I put a link of the day that doesn’t resolve to anything of use? It’s a farewell to a faithful old friend. It’s perhaps the only software I use on a daily basis. More so than Twitter, because I don’t really tweet from work. I do read RSS and it was Google Reader. Now, it’s gone, and it’s time to find something new. Sayanora good buddy. May the bit bucket treat you well.

Link of the Day [6.30.13]

Last day to be reading RSS feeds on Google Reader. I will sorely miss it. Not sure what will replace it for me. I’ve seen Feedly. I haven’t seen today’s link’s subject of the story, Digg Reader. I may try it out, but being lazy I may end up struggling for the next week. Where will I read my news now?

Link of the Day [6.26.13]

I’m gonna have to find a new browser. There will be no more Camino development. What am I going to use on the TiBook? I need a somewhat modern browser for Leopard. Camino was it. Now it is done. Relegated to the bit bucket in the sky. Maybe I should start using Safari more.
