No one wants to see the grave of a loved one disturbed.  It’s dishonorable, distasteful, and usually illegal.
That is exactly what happened this weekend though.
There is a page on my blog called “the graveyard”, a list of dead friends that I published as a response to those who claimed that every time an AIDS dissident [...]

I developed Bell’s palsy (BP) yesterday, a couple of days after striking the left side of my head rather severely on the sharp, hard edge of my car door.

Lance proposes that the disease affecting so many gay men is actually caused by disruption and destruction of the intestinal tract, [...]

Anyone who has lived or grown up on or near a farm in the midwest, will no doubt recognize one of these steel grain storage bins. They come in various sizes and are used to store grain destined for an area storage elevator or feed for livestock.
We had several of these bins at various locations [...]

My partner Michael is taking a class to get his EMS (Emergency Medical Services) certificate. One of the course requirements is that he get a series of Hepatitis [...]

I grew up in the small farming community of Colby, Kansas.  Until I was 14 years of age, I lived with my father’s extended family on a wheat and hog farm a few miles north of town.  There were so many Barnett families living within a half mile of each other that some people called [...]

Most of my work the last few decades have involved that interface… that point of contact between human beings and the computer.
I’ve written previously about my earliest experience with computers in the 1970s, while still in high school, where I advocated for the first computer programming course at Colby High School.  We ran our simple [...]
