Your Host

I’m Derek. I live in Washington D.C. D.C.’s Maryland suburbs with my wife, daughter and our two cats.

So What Is This?

Basically, I wanted a place to put non-journalistic material I find on the Web - I’ve got another site that tracks investigative reporting in detail that’s probably a little alarming to most folks. Plus I contribute to this one devoted to college football. I’m a recent convert to the Mac and I like reading about intelligence work, sports and foreign affairs, so those are some of the topics you’ll see here.
