Dispatches from the Great Underground Empire
Collected randomness. By day I'm a software maintenance engineer. C, C++, C#, Pascal, whatever. By night I'm a grad student working towards a master's degree in computer science. My dream is to own enough real-estate to keep me comfortable enough to spend more time my wife and baby boy and work on the kind of software that I want to write.

Chicago thinks about criminalizing small plastic bags
The asinine war on drugs marches on. Criminalizing the bag part of the “dimebag” and forcing dealers to use larger ziplocs is sure to eat into profit margins and force dealers out of business. The proposal to ban bags smaller than 2” on a side will just mean they start using bags that are 2.1” on a side. Then they’ll ban bags smaller than 3” and the cycle will continue ad nauseum until Chicago ends up banning 40 gallon garbage bags.
