I'm moving away from Microsoft issues to focus on writing (environment and economics) and volunteering, so you won't see much action from me on the MS licensing front. I'll be doing more tweeting from a different account, paulmadrona3.

A suggestion for Joe Manchin. Resign from the Democratic Party. Join the Republican Party (if they'll take you). Cast votes to support Biden's agenda. Since you will be a Republican, you are ensuring that the vote is bi-partisan.


Many new online news sites have started in Canada, most of them non-profits. One of them, with outstanding journalism, The Narwhal, fought for and won charitable status for non-profit news orgs and can issue tax receipts to subscribers


This NBC clip really supports the notion that events in the capitol were premeditated and planned, specifically for Jan. 6. The reporter asks a good question: "how did the police not see that?"

I don't know how much clearer online extremists could've been: They said they were going to storm the Capitol on January 6th. They had specific plans. It wasn't Antifa. It was a combo of QAnon, Proud Boys and pro-Trump militias, openly planning online. How didn't police see it?



After this week's events, Mexico has decided that they WILL pay for the wall. Canadians want one too.--Stobie Piel


The president governs like Justice Potter Stewart defined pornography. "I know it when I see it." He knows he likes loyalty. He knows He doesn't like criticism. Where you see loyalty to the constitution, He sees disloyalty to Himself. The Rorschach result: you're fired.


Why testing is so important: when a NY hospital began testing every incoming maternity patient for covid, it found that 15% tested positive--but the great majority of those had no symptoms. You don't know how big this is until testing is comprehensive. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/0…


#COVID19 Friends couldn't find N95 masks but they found that a C cup was the right size. Hard to maintain a social distance, without a little surgery on the bra however.


Trying to cancel Webex. Web site asks the reason. I give it, click "Continue." Screen locks. Calling? Dead air after an hour on hold. Chat: Clicked on a link they supplied and got...the list of phone numbers. Now into the next bill period. Hard to test the cancel feature B4 buy.


The president wants the Fed to fight COVID19 on behalf of Wall Street. Which ailment will kill more people? Portfoliosis or COVID19?cnbc.com/2020/02/28/tru…


A request to media: anytime someone says Trump may have committed a crime, but it doesn't "rise to the level of impeachment," ask if Bill Clinton's "crime" rose to that level. If they say "Clinton lied," ask them whether 13,000 lies (so far) also rise to the level of impeachment.

About to save a customer $10M. My secret weapon: I read and understand the contract. They do neither. Blows me away. So common. So obvious..
