Binary code is straight forward. 1 or 0. On or off. Black or white. Love Justin Bieber or hate Justin Beiber. There are no shades of grey. I don’t get a heart throb vibe from this kid at all, but then I was brought up on the premise that the true definition of a male […]

This has been annoying me for a while because the way it’s marketed has to be among the top 3 worst concepts in advertising. Your kid is old enough to be out of diapers but not yet clear of the need for absorptive body armor. He quietly and politely advises you that he needs to […]

The new anti-smoking ads will now cover 75 per cent of the pack, instead of the […]

I’ve been following the saga of Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, with great interest. I support this kind of uncovering of government secrets. I think it will go a long way to helping keep people honest, a rarity in government. Wikileaks does not post rumors, hearsay, opinions, just “classified, censored or otherwise restricted material […]

Where Mrs. LFM and I call home, a lot of people live inside of antiques. Many of the houses hereabouts have passed their first century which makes them slightly older than me. One of the houses we are professionally involved with protecting from the Dread Prophet Murphy is a massive pile atop a hill in […]
