For quite some time now, we've been using a pretty ghetto vacuum cleaner. I picked it up about 6-7 years ago when I first moved out and it's since followed me through 5 dwellings and getting married. It's been on its last legs for some time: Annabelle did a "great" job of destroying all of […]

A little under three weeks ago, the ancient relic that was our refrigerator started showing some early warning signs of death. It started with things kept in there not feeling quite as cool as they should. Before long, we were keeping trays of ice cubes on the bottom shelf to try and keep our food […]

Some folks don't learn from their mistakes. Witness the vague legal threat that Mark made towards me.
To Mr. Harris, PCE approached me in June 2007 about obtaining data, email security, website security consulting. The $5,000 payment received in September was the balance outstanding of that June invoice. You can either accept the truth as […]

I guess even crazy spammer Mark Towner knows when to stop denying. Kind of. Paul Rolly reports that Towner admits to being behind the Utahnsforpublicschool.com site but says it was a sting operation to expose closeted voucher opponents and has no affiliation with PCE. Uh… what? Mr. Rolly, have you been drinking the wrong […]

With the excellent detective work from around the bloghive (hat tips to Bob Aagard, Mata Hari (twice!), Utah Conservative and a shall-remain-nameless e-mailer), the picture has become clear: Mark Towner sent the now-infamous "Voucher News" e-mail AND has been paid $5,000 through his consulting business just weeks prior.

Witness the following:
Why would UtahnsForPublicSchool.com (no S at the end) have a directory on it named thespyglass? And isn't a funny coincidence that the e-mail originated from ssl-mail.com, the same site that services Mark's sent.com e-mail address? Something in the air smells pretty funny and I haven't even gotten the headers of the […]

That depends on who you talk to. It seems that a fair number of Utah bloggers (like Marshall over at Wasatch Watcher) believe it to be so. The Deseret News reported on the deceptive spam e-mail in today's edition. What's suspicious is that the contents of the e-mail linked to a pair of Towner […]

There's been a lot of buzz lately about the costs of medical care. I first noticed the trend with an op-ed by Steve Olsen in the Standard Examiner last month and the resultant follow-up from The Deseret Spectacle. Since then, it seems like everyone in the bloghive has an opinion on what to do […]
