Barack Obama Photos

07-Nov-08

President Obama has posted a bunch of photos from election night on Flickr. Ya know, I really love how he is so involved in technology. Just take a look at his personal website (barackobama.com) or his newly constructed government site (change.gov). They are both well done, easy to read, and provide good [...]

Obama: A More Perfect Union

18-Mar-08

Barack Obama just gave his “A More Perfect Union” speech, and today is one of those days when I know I am witnessing a very powerful, very historic moment in the United States.  It’s hard for me to say it is on-par with King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, simply because King’s speech speaks to [...]

Bicycle Laws: Keeping You in Your Car

02-Apr-07

Now that Spring is approaching, I figured it would be a good time for me to yank the good ‘ol bicycle off the rack and put those good ‘ol fashioned pedal powered wheels in motion. The destination? My local gym. My thinking was that I would save myself some miles on my [...]

The idea behind the Davis-Bacon act, according to this website is that the Davis-Bacon act ensures that “the federal agency that funds or financially assists Davis-Bacon [...]

Back In Business & Immediate Threat

30-Mar-04

Well spring break is over and I finally get to make an update. Of course, I could have did a few updates while I was on spring break but I was smart enough to not bring the tools I need to add info to the database, and I still haven’t got the web interface done [...]

Blacks Don’t Read?

09-Mar-04

Well, I wasn’t going to update for a good long minute because I want to make some changes to the website and it’s getting close to finals week for me which means I have almost zero free time. However, this little piece came through the wire (e-mail) the other day and while I think its [...]
