Remembering Johnny
“Let’s go to lunch,” Tracy said, seeing how frustrated I was after discovering that I had miscalculated the distance needed to rough-in a door that I was helping her install in a newly framed wall. “Fine. How about chile rellenos?” “I know this restaurant,” she said, “but I don’t remember the name… down on…

A little weighting can really tip the scales
Did I ever tell you that I used to be a “database specialist” in the marketing department of an HMO? Well, I did, and it was a very enlightening opportunity to observe the behind-the-scenes maneuvering of corporate America and our so-called “health care” system. My job was to parse data.

Tony Lance knows about gay men, because he is one. He has spent years studying and developing a theory that explains how and why so many of us develop poor health and damaged immune systems. Lance proposes that the disease affecting so many gay men is actually caused by disruption and destruction of the…

Life in a database
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…

KC gay rights debate–20 years ago
I found some old video recordings of the televised public hearings for Kansas City’s gay rights ordinance 20 years ago. Between the poor quality of the original VCR tapes and the transition to digital, they look even older than that. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dTZTuoWoQE&hl=en_US&fs=1&] You gotta’ love those glasses! City council committee hearings here are televised…

Repeat a lie often enough and people will believe it*
The Canadian Broadcasting Center (CBC) is doing what the mainstream media does so well for AIDS apologists: repeating inaccurate headlines without reading or thinking: Premature Aging of the Brain Seen in HIV Patients That is simply not what this study reports, and I blogged about it just a few days ago here. It is…
