It’s the Little Man from Another Place, and he knows what you need to do today.
Eric knows this is one of my favorite dudes! If the mood is right, I dance the dance of the dream man.

I Have Not Entered Disrecognized Space
My computer shutdown for the final time last week. I miss everyone and their emails and their shared items and their commentary and everything else. If I haven’t got back to you, I will, just give me time. I’ve got a semi broken auto, midterms, family from out of town visiting, etc. As soon as (if) I get through all of those, I’ll look into a new machine so that I can reply and share with regular frequency again.

On Google: We did not enter the search business, Jobs said. They entered the phone business. Make no mistake they want to kill the iPhone. We won’t let them, he says… This don’t be evil mantra: “It’s bullshit.” Audience roars.
About Adobe: They are lazy, Jobs says. They have all this potential to do interesting things but they just refuse to do it… Apple does not support Flash because it is so buggy, he says. Whenever a Mac crashes more often than not it’s because of Flash. No one will be using Flash, he says. The world is moving to HTML5.

Congestion making sleep difficult for you?
Interested in a practical and ultra-cheap wear-around-the-house fashion statement during flu season?
Is there no one else home to witness you wearing a q-tip in your nose?
I’ve been doing this for most of my life whenever I get a head cold, ever since I made arts & crafts with q-tips and discovered how well they bend. Only the plastic-stick ones are efficient for this; the sticks that are made of paper break and will not work.
Bend q-tip evenly in center. Put one tip in each nostril. Wait a few minutes. Opens your nasal passages right up. Cotton absorbent tip helps with drip, if that’s your thing. Cheaper than those ‘breathe right’ strips they sell at the pharmacy.
Sexy, right? This is how I’ve been breathing for the past 48 hours.
Come on, we’ve all done something like this right? This sort of thing really is an avenue of fashion… in Japan.

Spokesmen for the so-called “Somali pirates” have expressed willingness to transfer part of their loot captured from transnational boats to send to Haiti. The “pirates” typically redistribute a significant portion of their profits among relatives and the local population.
”The humanitarian aid to Haiti can not be controlled by the United States and
European countries; they have no moral authority to do so. They are the ones
pirating mankind for many years,” said the Somali spokesman.
Yet another reason I love these guys

"Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is the numbers of people all over the world who have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. And our problem is that scene in All Quiet on the Western Front where the schoolboys march off dutifully in a line to war. Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world, in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem. We recognize this for Nazi Germany. But America is different. That’s all we’ve been brought up on… [But] these lovely things about America were never lovely. We have been expansionist and aggressive and mean to other people from the beginning. And we’ve been aggressive and mean to people in this country, and we’ve allocated the wealth of this country in a very unjust way. We’ve never had justice in courts for the poor people, for black people, for radicals. Now how can we boast that America is a very special place?"
Howard Zinn, “The Problem is Civil Disobedience”
speech at Johns Hopkins University, November 1970

Remember a when I thought I’d found a dead body last year? This area is right next to the area I hike through off trail. So close.
