A email response from a friend

I just read the article you posted about medical marijuana and veterans and it definitely was intense. Its a shame that they are [...]

I am not excited for the US to attack Iran

I am not a fan of our current administration. I don’t like how they work, what they do or what they have done to our country. I haven’t voted them in. I have participated in removing them from office - without success.
And now that it seems we are on the eve of an attack [...]

Control Room

I am currently working and watching the documentary “Control Room.” It is really incredible. Quite something. watching the footage of the hostages being interviewed really brought me back to the feelings i had. It is insane to see the backend of Al Jazeera. They are soo smart; they really had their shit together. it is [...]

google is my favorite friend/evil entity

this is an excellent write up on the incredible google maps. the most important thing he says is:

I also think it bears noting that Google is pulling out all the stops
to build rich web apps, no matter how weirdly they have to hack the
browser to make them go. And I strong…

interesting milestones.

i was playing around with my blog software and I noticed something pretty cool. I have taken over 1000 pictures with my nokia cell phone cam and have roughly 2525 pictures total in my photolog. I have taken pictures of a bunch of neat stuff. it is pretty cool. I have wanted to make a view that is the text from the blog and the pictures all in one fancy view. but I haven’t. maybe soon. haha.

i enjoy the strange and bizarre

seriously I do. my new goal (well it is the same as my old goal - but with a bit more randomness) is awkwardness, juxtoposition and hyperbole. so basiclaly my life. hah. but I am excited. for the next couple days. work is becoming ultra cool. I think their will be some nice changes soon. it just seems like their will be. like the wind is blowing change my way. I do think it is funny - I could be …
