I am “revamping”, (i.e., in many areas of my life — personal, professional, and in all things computer). Call it olds-heimers, but I want to do more “high value” activities, and less “low value” ones.

yada, yada, yada!
Of the 13 identities who favorited me, they are all “vendors”.
Guess Technoratti has jumped the shark.
I never was a fan because it never was accurate about my posts. (I post daily; it reported months behind sometimes.)
I wouldn’t favorite the blog and be in the company of such.
Guess I don’t get a choice of who’s favoritiing I accept?
Sigh. Arghh!

RANT: Glue yourself to your bed

Anti-school super-glue
*** begin quote ***
p2pnet news | Off Topic:- A 10-year-old Mexican boy who didn’t want to go to school has found a failsafe way to avoid it.
Glue yourself to your bed.
“I didn’t want to go, the holidays were so much fun,” Diego Palacios told Agency France-Presse
“I remembered my mom had bought a very strong glue,” he said of the industrial strength shoe glue he used to stick his hand to his bed’s headboard, where he was stuck for two hours.
*** end quote ***
I guess the young lad doesn’t appreciate the value of the gooferment reeducation camp! How else will he become a good little mind-numbed robot suitable for cannon fodder or factory work? His betters know what’s best for him.
Argh!

ADMINISTRIVIA: Spinning plates?
Thursday, January 10, 2008I’m tired. Maybe I need a break. Spinning lots of plates may be just too much. I’m going to think about my blog. I’m not sure what, if anything, I have accomplished. I’m rethinking a lot of things from an ROI perspective. Self, work, Frau. Mom, Aunt, and all the Processes & Project that I have. Maybe there are just too many plates to keep spinning?

LIBERTY: Steal the value from money and confuse the people

The Market for Liberty

***Begin Quote***
Economics isn’t merely a dry, boring study of money. It is, boiled down to its essence, a study of human nature: how people interact and trade with each other. Since this obviously involves money, there is no shortage of people who want some of that money for themselves, when they haven’t earned it. And the chief ways in which they take that money are to confuse people and to establish governments.

Interesting that a great book is now a free MP3 file.

LIBERTY: what caused our government to change its mind so suddenly?
Thursday, January 10, 2008http://www.ncc-1776.org/tle2008/tle450-20080106-04.html
War is a Racket
by General Smedley Butler, USMC
Special to The Libertarian Enterprise
Published in New York by Round Table Press, Inc., 1935.
***Begin Quote***
Looking back, Woodrow Wilson was re-elected president in 1916 on a platform that he had “kept us out of war” and on the implied promise that he would “keep us out of war.” Yet, five months later he asked Congress to declare war on Germany.
In that five-month interval the people had not been asked whether they had changed their minds. The 4,000,000 young men who put on uniforms and marched or sailed away were not asked whether they wanted to go forth to suffer and die.
Then what caused our government to change its mind so suddenly?
Money.
***End Quote***
Time to have an accounting of all the dead, missing, wounded, crippled, scared, and maybe even inconvenienced at the hands of big gooferment and its accomplices. When we total up the costs, what did we real get for all the blood, sweat, and tears?

TECH SERVICE: PicMarker watermarks

PicMarker watermarks, keeps your photos safe from evildoers
By Josh Lowensohn – January 7, 2008, 5:03 AM PST
***Begin Quote***
The correct attribution for online photos is a touchy subject.
***and***
Maybe one of the simpler ways to keep your photos and videos moderately safe from incorrect attribution is watermarking. I’m sure you’ve all seen it before, but if not, it’s basically layering on a semi-transparent line of text, or image over a spot in a photo. Some folks put it in a corner, and if they’re really worried, will place it all over the photo. A new service called PicMarker has set up shop to help people accomplish such a task, although instead of having to rely on a desktop software application, anyone can watermark up to ten shots at a time right in their browser.

Interesting?!?
Now what can I use this thing for that it wasn’t intended to accomplish?
Social networking?

TECHNOLOGY: Cars that drive themselves

GM Researching Driverless Cars
Jan 6 06:25 PM US/Eastern
By TOM KRISHER
AP Auto Writer
***Begin Quote***
DETROIT (AP) – Cars that drive themselves—even parking at their destination—could be ready for sale within a decade, General Motors Corp. executives say.
***End Quote***
Well, I’d welcome that.
Having driven in Florida and had elderly relatives that can’t drive, or shouldn’t be driving, yet still need to get around, a driverless car would be a boon.
How about a driverless taxi?
Imagine the commute to work where you weren’t driving, but reading. Like an exec in limo?
An idea who time has come. Let’s roll it out now!

RONPAUL: Excluded from FoxNews, he does his own thing~
Wednesday, January 9, 2008Ron Paul Town Hall, pt. 1
FoxNews excludes, bit you decide. Ron Paul had his own event. It’s two half hour YouTubes of a Jeffersonian liberal. Remember that the tradition of a liberal is that the individual is sovereign. Not the King; not the gooferment; not the collective. I haven’t heard anyone express these ideas in a long time. We need to get back to the roots of the republic.
