	<title>Scott Bradford: Off on a Tangent</title>
	<atom:link href="http://www.scottbradford.us/feed/" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />
	<link>http://www.scottbradford.us</link>
	<description>Scott Bradford has been building web sites and using them to say what he thinks since 1995, which tended to get him in trouble with power-tripping assistant principals at the time. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University, but has spent most of his career (so far) working on public- and private-sector web sites. He is not a member of any political party, and brands himself an ‘independent constitutional conservative.’ In addition to holding down a day job and blogging about challenging subjects like politics, religion, and technology, Scott is also a devout Catholic, gun-owner, bike rider, and music lover with a wife and two cats.</description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, I was out of the office for a couple of days with a bad cold. When I got back in this morning, I had a voicemail on my office phone—a fairly rare occurrence, since phones are now about fifth in the office order of communication priority (after email, IM, face-to-face, and carrier pigeon). Usually [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I usually have some sympathy for people who are required by their employers to do distasteful things. I doubt, for example, that the customer service representatives at Cox Cable really enjoy wasting half an hour telling you to reboot your computer and router when they (and you) already know they are having a service outage.

They had one on the lot that was very close to our ideal specs, and were able to give us a bit of a deal (though not much, since Minis [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, I&#8217;ve been playing around with the Microsoft Windows 8 Consumer Preview, a pre-release version of Microsoft&#8217;s next flagship desktop operating system. The pundits and techies seem to be very critical of Microsoft&#8217;s direction, and with good reason, but I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s quite as bad as it&#8217;s been made out to be. In fact, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 2001, I bought my first Mac—a Power Mac G4 &#8216;Quicksilver&#8217; 733mhz. It ran Mac OS X 10.0.4, which was still considered something of a &#8216;beta&#8217; so the machine booted by default into the &#8216;classic&#8217; Mac OS 9. Previously I had been running a Compaq with Windows 98, and as resident &#8216;tech support&#8217; on my [...]]]></description>

I have heard a lot about him from my father, however, who knew him and worked for a time at Colson&#8217;s BreakPoint. I also knew a bit about him because I&#8217;m a political junkie, and [...]]]></description>

It is probably safe to assume that major Android device manufacturers had access to the code before then, and even if they didn&#8217;t the source was made publicly available less than a [...]]]></description>

Discovery will replace Enterprise, the shuttle atmospheric test vehicle, at the Smithsonian Institution&#8217;s Steven [...]]]></description>

The Civic is ostensibly &#8216;Melissa&#8217;s&#8217; car, even though I do something like 90% of the family driving no matter which car we&#8217;re using, so Melissa is the primary driving force in choosing what the [...]]]></description>

I try to keep a good, steady stream of posts going, but over the last month or two I&#8217;ve completely fallen off the wagon. Time to start getting back into the swing of regular blogging.
