Pre-Ragnarok

A week in Cambridge, Ohio, camping. Gonna need a whole crap load of supplies. It sucks that I’m doing a lot of stuff the days preceding it… Gotta finish up my armor and garb. My weapons and shield are pretty much done, maybe a few fixes.

Safari 3 Beta for Windows

Pretty amazing. I’m using it right now, as I am writing this post. If you haven’t downloaded it or seen it, go here: Safari Download. A few things are a bit weird and will take some time to get used to. Here is my analysis of it in the form of pro’s and con’s:

+:

  • Highlighted textarea/input
  • Speed
  • Softing and smoothing of fonts
  • No borders on edges
  • Import of bookmarks
  • Bookmark organizer
  • Dragging of tabs into new windows
  • Dragging of links into new tabs
  • Adding bookmarks is easy
  • Resizable textareas
  • Bold is Bold

-:

  • Dragging bookmarks into new tabs deletes them
  • Middle clicking bookmarks don’t open them
  • Middle clicking tabs doesn’t close them
  • Close button is on left side
  • No status bar at bottom
  • No setting for showing tabs when only one is open
  • No hover label for buttons at top
  • Right clicking sets off “onClick” javascript
  • No integration of plugins
  • Bookmark manager opens in the current tab
  • No middle-click-drag scrolling

Over-all, I like it. I really hope they introduce some plugins and fixes for customizing the interface even more. Give me your input once you’ve tryed it, and I’ll add it to the list. =]

Ashop Commerce

So apparently combining words for the names of websites are popular… As seen at Ashop Commerce, a leading provider of hosted shopping cart software. It offers a complete solution for merchants to sell online. It looks like a good set of software … But I don’t really need it to sell anything. This name can be confusing, reading either a-shop, or as-hop, or ash-op. Although I shouldn’t talk: a-slamp, as-lamp, a-s-lamp. But take it as you wish, it’s the textual name that counts, not the pronunciation.

911 Cover-Up: Loose Change, 2nd Edition

The video is also available in a larger resolution at http://911.aslamp.com.

Watch this video following video where John Edwards was asked about WTC7, but gives no answer or interest. Also, watch the video that follows this one in the playlist.

Funny

I find it funny that the Wordpress editor uses “B” for bold and “I” for italic, when neither HTML tag is used. <strong> and <em> are used, respectively.

Save your money: Part One

As much as the government and people of United States despise them, you think that they would detect socialistic ideas and programs within their own system. One of the programs remains privately owned, while the other is integrated into our entire lives. The private business is sold as “insurance.” Insurance for your life, health, home, car, and scare others. All require a set amount of money for a set amount of time, just in case something happens to that item that is being insured.

Most insurance companies pocket the money given to them, and give it back in dire times when you need it (although limits are set on that also).

Wait, so socialism: Unequal efforts given to one cause, are then redistributed equally among them

And insurance: Unequal efforts (assuming your fee varies due to circumstances) given to one cause, are then redistributed equally among them (assuming there is a limit per event).

Now, assuming this isn’t true for every case, but besides the notes in the parenthesis, those two statements are exactly the same.

Just in case you don’t really know what’s what, socialism is:

a broad array of doctrines or political movements that envisage a socio-economic system in which property and the distribution of wealth are subject to control by the community.

Communism, my dear friends, is a form of socialism. Tie the pieces together a bit? Keep in mind that not all the money collected by the insurance company is redistributed to the people. This is how they make money: Not everyone needs the money. They keep what they don’t have to give away.

Sadly, this entire system is something that the American cannot avoid, because America has, so wisely, embedded it into its law, making it illegal to not have insurance, at least for an automobile. So what good does it do, knowing this information and not being able to do anything about it? Well, my advice is: Rebel and inform… Perhaps in the opposite order, so that they don’t stereotype you as a “rebel” and ignore everything you say. Hopefully some will get changed sometime in the near future.

Some people might say, “Well, do you have a better idea?” And my answer is:

Yes. I do. Let people regulate and protect their own money for when they need to use it. Not everyone is as stupid as they appear.

“But what if they don’t have any money saved up?” And my answer is:

You can always get a loan. You have to spend money to make money sometimes, and the loaner should realize that.

Shoot… I need a job

I tired appling on monster, and I got a whole bunch of “Application Offers” and such, but only one real offer, and I would have had to be 18 to take it. So, I’m stuck jobless, at least through the internet, but I do get money from ads and stuff, and that’s awesome =].
