Increased carbon dioxide emissions are rapidly making the world's oceans more acidic and, if unabated, could cause a mass extinction of marine life similar to one that occurred 65 million years ago when the dinosaurs disappeared. ]]> Mon, 20 Feb 2006 01:29:33 -0600 http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C993619837/E20060220012933/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C1449323645/E20060209201057/index.html Gotta fund those 1%'ers tax cuts from somewhere! ]]> Thu, 09 Feb 2006 20:10:57 -0600 http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C1449323645/E20060209201057/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C105171974/E20060204204005/index.html Sat, 04 Feb 2006 20:40:05 -0600 http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C105171974/E20060204204005/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C260617621/E20060203225429/index.html Fri, 03 Feb 2006 22:54:29 -0600 http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C260617621/E20060203225429/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C649317909/E20060122010116/index.html Just wanted to let everyone know about the new Tag Cloud on the left side of the page. If you've never seen one before, it's basically an aggregator of RSS (Really Simple Syndication), ATOM, and XML feeds from a multitude of news sources. It changes in real time as the news around the world changes. The larger the phrase or word, the more news there is about that particular item at that moment in time. Clicking on it will take you to a page that lists all of the news stories with links.

If you have a particular news site that you would like me to add to the Cloud, please let me know!

Also BTW: All the pages on this site should now be loading much faster!! ]]> Sun, 22 Jan 2006 01:01:16 -0600 http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C649317909/E20060122010116/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C195682215/E20060118223548/index.html Wed, 18 Jan 2006 22:35:48 -0600 http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C195682215/E20060118223548/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C1449323645/E20060116121705/index.html This effort to rework America's carefully balanced constitutional design into a lopsided structure dominated by an all powerful Executive Branch with a subservient Congress and judiciary is-ironically-accompanied by an effort by the same administration to rework America's foreign policy from one that is based primarily on U.S. moral authority into one that is based on a misguided and self-defeating effort to establish dominance in the world. ]]> Mon, 16 Jan 2006 12:17:05 -0600 http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C1449323645/E20060116121705/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C1449323645/E20060113214532/index.html Coming only a few weeks after U.S. Representative John Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, introduced resolutions to censure President Bush and Vice President Cheney, and to explore the issue of impeachment, Gore in expected to "make the case that the country -- including the legislative and judicial branches and all Americans -- must act now to defend the systems put into place by the country's founders to curb executive power or risk permanent and irreversible damage to the Constitution." ]]> Fri, 13 Jan 2006 21:45:32 -0600 http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C1449323645/E20060113214532/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C1449323645/E20051204175010/index.html Sun, 04 Dec 2005 17:50:10 -0600 http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C1449323645/E20051204175010/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C260617621/E20051203144620/index.html Sat, 03 Dec 2005 14:46:20 -0600 http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C260617621/E20051203144620/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C195682215/E20051201230111/index.html "The construction of Taipei 101 is totally different to many other high-rise buildings because it used hybrid structures made of both concrete and steel, to give it added protection from earthquakes and fire. ]]> Thu, 01 Dec 2005 23:01:11 -0600 http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C195682215/E20051201230111/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C994306665/E20051129033142/index.html Tue, 29 Nov 2005 03:31:42 -0600 http://homepage.mac.com/karsten/Tech Ramblings/C994306665/E20051129033142/index.html
