As of earlier today, we are officially guest-less, and I am not sick. This will be the first extended period of time since mid-December that I haven’t had one of those two in my life. No, I don’t mind the guests … in fact, I thoroughly enjoyed having everybody (which is a good thing, since next week my brother will be here). What this means is that hopefully over this weekend I’ll catch up on a few things that I got behind on, and be able to resume daily postings … and take some more photos as well. I’ve already got some good ideas …

What Is This Mess?
You've stumbled upon my mixed bag of ramblings about economics, politics, news, human stupidity, programming, and geeky stuff in general ... all from the perspective of somebody who scored as a 100% libertarian on the Nolan Chart.
I'm a Chattanooga resident, Web developer, Mac user, and amateur photographer who really likes taking pictures at night. I'm a Krystal Lover! I (used to) drink too much Coke, and own a General Electric refrigerator from the late forties. I'm currently servinc as the Chair of the Hamilton County Libertarian Party, President of ChattaMac (our local Mac Users Group), and I organize a PHP Developer's Group locally.
To find out more about the refrigerator (or to chat about anything you read on here), email me at j.clifton@four-eight-four.org.

Actually, your Dad and I need to come back to look at a couple of houses. We’ll see you mid-afternoon today. Well, maybe not, just kidding.
