FlickrZen is a rather cool blog I recently stumbled across recently. It features some of the best handpicked picture favorites from Flickr, a Yahoo! sponsored community photography enthusiast website.

Easy to use, high-resolution, and best of all fun! For a weekly dose of that much need photgraphic inspiration, don't forget to check out the FlickrZen blog!

We The People

This is probably the best e-mail I've seen in a long, long time. The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Aye from Georgia.

"We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots,keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other liberal bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights."

ARTICLE I:

You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them,but no one is
guaranteeing anything.

ARTICLE II:

You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.

ARTICLE III:

You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful, do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.

ARTICLE IV:

You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes.

ARTICLE V:

You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care.

ARTICLE VI:

You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.

ARTICLE VII:

You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens,don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.

ARTICLE VIII:

You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful.

ARTICLE IX:

You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.

ARTICLE X:

This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from! (lastly....)

ARTICLE XI:

You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!!!!

If you agree, share tell a friend to come visit my blog. I just think it's about time common sense is allowed to flourish. Sensible people of the United States speak out, because if you do not, who will?

Teacher Claims Insanity in Sex Case

This is some interesting feedback from real people about this case. Now before you read it, realize the double standard we set simply based on the sex of the person committing the crime. If the agressor were a man, and the victim a female, would the comments you are about to read be the same?

Terrorists

I remember years ago I was creating a section on my old website, a tribute, to show my support for the people who lost their lives and gave their effort, patience, money, and support to those who did in the aftermath.

Today upon entering work one of the topics of conversation that came up between some of my fellow co-workers was that of the eradication of terrorists. While I couldn't agree more that we need to stop the terrorism, going out and arresting all of a religion is not the way to handle it.

The example cited by my fellow co-worker was that a mouse here in Houston was being picketed, when asked if they would help at the root of the problem by working with us to produce the terrorists, they would not. Why they didn't want to help is unknown, perhaps they have their own reasons. But one of the reasons we live in a free country is so people can make choices like that.

There are people of all religions, including those of Indian descent, assisting the investigation around the world (as the top of the attached news article states). But arresting everyone in an entire religion because a leader of that religion didn't assist the investigation is not right. It may be un-American, but it's not illegal. It would be totally different if the leaders of the religions were telling all those that were members of the religion that they couldn't in-fact help. The media has skewed the people of Indian descent that are out there and are willing and able to help, and are already doing their parts because they don't want to be unfairly classified as an extremist.

In America there's about 2,957,341 (as of about 2002) Muslims, arrest them all? Are there really about three million terrorists?

3D Computer Chips

The past 40 years have seen great advances in computer technology, largely involving the size and speed of the circuits that process and store information. Today’s laptops, PDAs, and mobile phones are far superior in performance, and orders of magnitude smaller in size and price compared to the enormous computers of the mid-20th century. It all has to do with the industry’s mantra called "Moore's Law."

Website updates, me, and more...

So in-case you can't tell, I couldn't really think up a title for this post, however there are a few things I want to make sure I cover:

• My Daughter Celeste
• Updates to the Jihad9.com website
• Dark Age of Camelot (video game)
• World of Warcraft (video game)
• The Power of Information (radio show)

My Daughter Celeste

She's growing up so fast and is so beautiful. I wish I could share pictures with all of you non-stop, and while its my intention to post some new pictures soon, I have been rather busy and unable to get to that, but I will sooner or later. She turns three in November and I can't wait.

Updates to the Jihad9.com website

There haven't been many updates to the website with the exception of the Dark Age of Camelot area for a while (which you don't even see from the front of the website anyway). I've added some new Words of the Week (which I have been doing from time-to-time anyway), of which all are really cool. I hope to put some new content and perhaps even a new design online sometime in the next while. We're also moving the site to a new server so when that happens, look for more coolness.

Dark Age of Camelot

Basically my account was permantely banned because I was suspected of using 3rd party software to hack the game. Basically at one time I did infact use software called 'radaring' software that allowed you to see the positions of the other players in your general vicinity. Before the company that runs that game ever decided to crack down on it it had already been removed from my computer. See, I didn't purchase the software, I borrowed a registration code for the software from a person I knew in the game with the intention of catching and reporting a beligerant radar user that was making the game rather unfun for me and quite a few guildies. This meant the software was installed and running on my machine for less than three days and never did I use the software to further advance my character. As a matter of fact, when my account was banned I was 5L0, which seems ludacris don't cha think since I've been playing that toon for almost two years. Anyway, after the hundreds of hours I have put into making my character fun for me to play on the game I handed the guild over to my friend and co-guildie Hapgood to take care of, and I might add he's doing a fine job. One day I would love to go back (assuming I had my toon back) just to see what the oldest MMO still in use is like.

World of Warcraft

I've been playing World of Warcraft for quite sometime now, just usually on other people's accounts. I finally obtained my own account, got a Horde and Alliance toon both to level 12 or slightly better (can't exactly remember right this second) and due to monitary obligations and the need to conserve the output of cash I have temporarily suspended my account in liu of free games (if any, kinda busy for games for the time being). This just means I'll have to work hard to catch up if you guys and gals are even still playing WoW by the time I am ready to focus and get my noobs up to even where I was the four other times I have leveled (read: quested my brains out) up.

The Power of Information

My new radio show I am working on is called The Power of Information and will be being broadcast in Loma Linda, California and throughout the Los Angeles area, recorded and produced here in Houston, TX. It will of course be available for you podcaster folks, and people who simply want to stream an MP3 from our website. Eventually I'll even post my production times so you can tune in and watch me and my crew produce the show and edit it down for submission to the station, websites, torrents, and podcasters. I can't wait! Oh yea, I forgot to tell you what the show is all about. Nah, no I didn't. You'll have to listen to find out.
