Al Weisel was a bloggers blogger and he helped me when I started out. We maintained a modest off-line relationship and had a good on line one as well. He has died, and he will be missed.
This was his site, and this is a post honoring him. You may have known him as as Jon Swift.

As expected, the home schoolers are by and large doing it wrong. No wonder they are always trying to hide the statistics behind manufactured libertarian values.
Christian-based materials dominate a growing home-school education market that encompasses more than 1.5 million students in the U.S. And…

Apparently, there is a strange security bug in Windows XP whereby some web sites will ask you to press the F1 Key, and if you do, you are screwed.

Which creationist was the most nauseating?
From the NCSE:
When it comes to dissing evolution (and science in general) there's no lack of volunteers. How to decide which among them is the worst?
