I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Be safe in your travels and I hope you get everyone you wanted for Christmas.

Don’t drink too much and be sure to be nice for next year, or the pope might come and get you! ;-)

Stanley Tookie Williams dies by lethal injection at 12:35 a.m. Supporters inside yell that state has ‘just killed an innocent man.’

Innocent man? Innocent?

Come on people. This is the admitted and well known founder of the Crips street gang. Even IF he didn’t commit those 4 murders he was convicted for, he probably still killed more… Whether he killed other innocent people or just other rival gang members, who knows.

BUT, this guy is NOT innocent by ANY stretch of the imagination.

I, for one, and many others are very glad he is dead and paid the ultimate price for his crimes.

Some guy on FoxNews last night mentioned that it should be done quicker. In the middle eastern countries, they execute within 30 days of the conviction. You are tried and if convicted, you are given 30 days to appeal and if it is turned down, you are immediately executed.

That’s the kind of justice I think we need here in the western world. Show theworld the penalty of the crime while it is still fresh in their minds. This would be very effective.

I put to use an old piece of junk I had lying around. I used to have a G4 Mac Cube… But it burned itself out. So I tried plugging in the keyboard that came with it and it’s working great.

The nice thing is that the keyboard has two USB ports built right into the keyboard. I need to test them to see if it is a builtin hub that only runs at USB 1.1 or a pass-through that will go up to USB 2… I’ll post results of that at a later time.

Overall I seem to be able to type quite a bit faster than on my PC keyboard… Perhaps the keys are just more responsive or they’re just layed out better, I dunno.
