Thomas Jefferson to Richard Price, January 8th, 1789

"It is to me a new and consolatory proof that wherever the people are well-informed they can be trusted with their own government; that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights."

Relevant Quote on Pizza

This is exactly what I am trying to achieve with mine. I do not, under any circumstances, want my pizza to taste like some heavily oiled, cardboard tasting crap like Dominos or Pizza Hut (or really any other chain).

"... One of my rules is, always try a pizza that dates back to the 1950s. There is always a small possibility that in the intervening 35+ years, they have NOT screwed it up by trying to make it more like Domino’s or something."
- Michael Gebert, on Bill's Pizza in Mundelein, Illinois

Two Political Quotes to Think About

Very interesting considering what is going on in the country right now...


"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."
-Harry Truman

"In politics, an organized minority is a political majority."
-Jesse Jackson

Jon Siddle's Posterous

What you have stumbled upon is the random brain activity that takes the form of a guy who does IT/computer work during the day and is a freelance trombonist in the evenings.

You may not understand the brevity of what you could be getting into in reading this blog. Do you really want to listen to the ramblings of someone who has to deal with people's computer/printer/internet problems all day? And everyone knows what they say about trombone players...

You may find the random thoughts venture toward cigar reviews, writing, music, anything and everything Apple, productivity (or the lack thereof), South Park...the list could go on. You've been warned...
