Perspectives From Another Time Zone

This week, I am out of town on a business trip, and for once, I got to travel someplace different for a change. It's always fun to explore someplace new, although I've been so busy this week that I have only had a little time for exploring. At the least, I have had the opportunity to try out some new restaurants. I head out on Friday, and it looks like I will be heading to Ann Arbor for the weekend.

I'm hoping that once life settles down a little bit, that I will be able to get back to regular blog postings. So stay tuned.

Score One for the Constitution

A brief excerpt from Judge Taylor's decision today:

The President of the United States, a creature of the same Constitution which gave us these ammendments, has undisputedly violated the Fourth in failing to procure judicial orders as required by FISA, and accordingly has violated the First Ammendment Rights of these Plantiffs as well

Obviously, this case is likely to head to the United States Supreme Court, but the ruling is nonetheless encouraging.

The District Sleeps Tonight

My friend Daniel is in Washington DC this weekend for a visit, and we've been having fun touring DC. The weather was beautiful today - clear skies, 80 degrees, and the humidity was actually pleasant. We spent this afternoon touring the monuments, especially the Jefferson and World War II memorials. The World War II Memorial is the newest of the memorials on the Mall, and I think that it was very well designed. It is a wonderful tribute to all of the men and women who gave their lives for the cause of freedom during the war.



As of Friday, I finally have Internet access at home. I am hoping that I will have my servers operational by the end of the week, and that I can start creating new photojournals of the DC area.
