Outstanding book, and I give it two thumbs up. I don’t get a chance to read many books these days, and this was a book that I wanted to get my hands on and read ever since it came out. No disappointments either. So let me do a run down of what inspired me, […]
This is a new addition to Jundism, and I wanted to back this precept up with plenty of historical reference. From Bushido or the Boy Scout Law, to Col. John Boyd and Miyamoto Musashi. As you can see, being thrifty is a concept that needs attention.
For your personal life, being thrifty means you can […]
”Do not engage in military operations; that will lead to defeat. Do not take land from a peasant. Emphasize nationalism rather than communism. Do not antagonize anyone if you can avoid it. Be selective in your violence. If an assassination is necessary, use a knife, not a rifle or grenade. It is too easy […]
This is a basic one, but I think extremely intriguing. The idea behind this post, is that I am hoping that some programmer or entrepreneur will take this idea and run with it. Meanwhile, my ultimate goal of wanting to see an increase of criminals and terrorists being captured would be the best outcome […]
It’s been awhile since I posted a good Building Snowmobiles article, and I think I might have stumbled upon something with some meat. Or at least I hope. So with that said, here it is.

As you guys know, I am always looking into the future of warfare, and the possible uses of today’s technologies. No rock is left unturned here, and I love coming back to this stuff. The theme of this post is that in order to apply these new Web 2.0 tools to warfare and business, […]
On my honor, I will do my best
To do my duty To God and my country
And to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. -Scout Oath

Col. John Boyd On Grand Strategy
Evolve and exploit insight/initiative/adaptability/harmony together with a unifying vision, via a grand ideal […]
I know, I know, this is ridiculous and far to immature to pay attention to….. Or is it? We see PMC’s continue to try and hide stuff, along with politicians and celebrities and a multitude of other types of organizations and individuals, and that evil internet just keeps facilitating the discovery of wrong doings. […]
Ok, this is a good one, I promise. What I have done is to present the point of views of four bloggers/journalists, break down the essence of their posts, and try to find some middle ground with their points of view. Then I will end it with my views about what the UN could do to […]
This was an interesting article, because Chuck was analyzing the situation much like Boyd would have. And of course Chuck is a member of Boyd’s Acolytes, so I thought this to be certainly befitting of this category. Enjoy. -Matt
