Learn while doing!  Touched up my css skills and my Photoshop skills as well.  Now onward!

Suicide Bots!

My Vox Page!
I have two invitations available for Vox should you want to try it out.

If you've never put salt on your pineapple, you should.

The Art of Procrastination Through Art

Ouch.  Sorry about that garish "redesign" of the site.  I was messing around with custom css on Typepad and a) intentionally chose high contrast colors so I can see the changes, and b) I thought I had only applied said changes to another test blog, not the main one ebberyone sees.

I wanna make it pretty.  And soft with the hair.

Dateline NBC: To Catch A Congressional Predator

Now, I generally don't make this a political blog.  There's quite a bit of that out there and I'd like to create my own little niche, hence you won't find only videos here, or only music.  I try to keep it original.

Thomas Cook - Job 2000

Denver Post Obituary for Thomas Cook

So my dad has Multiple Sclerosis and doesn't fight it enough.  Granted I'm not in his head so I don't know, but I know that the human spirit has more fight in it that he has shown.  Disease is different than accident so I can't compare anything to Thomas Cook, whom until a few minutes ago I hadn't known existed.  The link above goes to his obit.  Read it all there or after the jump here.  Testament to bad luck, the human spirit, and modern rehabilitative medicine and the modern world that supports it.

Colors! Sounds! Pretty!

I say go to this link and be amazed and the order and harmony of sound!

It's pretty lights and colors.  I can watch these things for hours.  I think it might be required pacification procedure as dictated by the NSA and our government.

AT&T Whistle-Blower's Evidence

This entry is a copy of this story of off Wired News.  AT&T is trying to get the Electronic Frontier Foundation to take this out of circulation.

Former AT&T technician Mark Klein is the key witness in the Electronic Frontier Foundation's class-action lawsuit against the company, which alleges that AT&T illegally cooperated in an illegal National Security Agency domestic-surveillance program.

In this recently surfaced statement, Klein details his discovery of an alleged surveillance operation in an AT&T office in San Francisco, and offers his interpretation of company documents that he believes support his case.

For its part, AT&T is asking a federal judge to keep those documents out of court, and to order the EFF to return them to the company. Here Wired News presents Klein's statement in its entirety, along with select pages from the AT&T documents.

More after the jump.

Dorm Rooms of Tomorrow... Today!

I love watching this.  It makes me laugh everytime

Madcow is worse than birdflu, suckers.

Here's an awesome link.  A constantly updating map of the world with different disasters noted and links to the reports.

You'll feel like you are on a spaceship monitoring the earth.  Bird Flu was real big last night.

And that goes back to my topic.  Who cares about birdflu?  So you get sick, and then you die or get better.  It's a virus so you can fight it with medicines.

Madcow, CJ, spongebrain, whatever you call it doesn't work that way.  You don't get cured, and you slowly waste away until you die.
For all we know, Multiple Sclerosis and Altzheimers might be forms of madcow.

So eat all the poultry you want, it's the beef you have to watch out for.

May Day

New pics on my Flickr account of the immigration march here in Chicago.  The most peaceful gathering of people I've ever seen.  Anti-war protests need more families at them to give them better cred.

and also go visit Attu Sees All!   Unless you just came from there.  Hello!
