Its quite sad. 10 years ago we seemed to be quite a decent country. But nowadays more and more news articles come out describing events and happenings that I would not have believed possible in this country. Heres a quick list just from today: 1000 people issue a citizens arrest on Pres. Bush A high [...]

Racism is dumb
I just don’t understand racism. I mean, there are people I don’t like, even whole groups of folks; but it’s not because their genetic disposition for skin pigmentation (its mostly because their assholes, pure and simple). I heard on the radio this morning that a white supremacy group is having a concert here in Portland [...]
Economy in dire straights
OK. I’ll admit it. I have no solid idea about how the US great depression came about. I think I was sleeping in economics or history (or both) and missed that bit. Sad? Definitely. Which is probably what lead to the current problems this country now faces with its failing economy. Not me specifically, mind [...]
Etch-A-Sketch Artist
I just came across this story on digg about an etch-a-sketch artist. At first I was like “how good could it be?” until I actually got to the site. http://etchasketchist.blogspot.com The first one I saw was an image of Bioshock which was better than a lot of people could do with paper and pencil. I [...]
Conduct your own surveys
Ever wanted to know if you readers prefer pics of you in a red shirt or a blue one? Well, perhaps not, but there are some uses for surveys other than raggin on your latest fashion faux pau. Which brings me to my latest find. I came across a site offering online surveys and web [...]
Blah…
You ever have those days where its not exactly like you are depressed all day, but you just don’t have the will to do anything at all? You get up and do your stuff, of course, but your heart just isn’t in it? Its been like that all day today. Maybe it was the rain [...]
Animation blast from the past
We just got a 3 disc set from Target of the Duck Tales cartoon. It was just in a random place on the shelf and my wife and I were almost racing to grab it once we saw it. From our youths, and the youths of most late-20 somethings, Duck Tales was quite an enjoyable [...]
Bit backed up
No, I’m not referring to the recent posts on data recovery I’ve written. This is more towards workload. It seems I have reached my limit as I have absolutely no more room in my brain to keep track of all the projects I have to do. Its a bit more stressful as my boss is [...]
The virtual office hath cometh – And is affordable to boot
In the current technological station of the standard office, you will find a great many things common to all offices everywhere in the world. Phone, fax, computer, cells, all of these things are standard scenery in a modern office. It all boils down to communication. That is the prime thing, numero uno must have for [...]
Peggle for your thoughts…
OK. My wife and I are a little crazy about a game called Peggle. All you do is shoot balls down a peg board and just clear all the orange ones. Thats it. But we really have fun playing it (and the kids do as well). If you don’t believe me just check out Popcap [...]
