The Year 2011, Look Back

Link to full article with images that did not transfer for some reason Well first I will start with death, since it is the place that seems to be of most interest to most people.  Some well known people died this year, but that is true with every year, so I am not going to post a bunch of names, there are tons of list on the web that do that.  This year we all know about the loss of Apple’s bigger than life leader Steve Jobs .  We also should mention that there were many other pioneers of the computing industry that also past.   Wired provides a decent list of them, although it seems to be missing something, and it has some errors in content, it is a list just the same.  To me the really weird part is that I am almost their age, and wonder, is it the computer that has taken their lives this way. Well before I go down that rabbit hole, let me move on to other things that happened, and what is significant to 2011.  A lot personally has happened to me ...

First Draft Updates

In the future I will be only posting the major updates not the entire body of work.  I will also add any notes that I have been making on the work as I write it, as they do not get to the blog from docs, so everyone can see where progress is being made, when it is made. I can't say I will have new updates everyday, but I am trying to get this into publication sometime this year, so it will obviously be often. I will be publishing through a vanity publisher (POD) service, namely Google Books and Amazon Books, and the links will be available here when the books are available there, as well as on Google+ and yes most likely FaceBook, only because so many people still do not have G+ yet, and that includes many of the people who will at least in some part be made part of this story. That is all for now... I am writing some today, but I don't know how much will get on, as I have goats to attend to and dogs, lots of dogs.
I feel like I should be upset, but I am not really. Today I received an email from blogger that one of my newest blogs http://cookingwithahammer.blogspot.com was flagged as spam. I wonder why they have done this. They say it was picked up by their bot, but I still wonder what triggered the bot. Was it the links, because if it was, I use links all the time in my blogs, to point to references or to other sources, or just other sites I find interesting. Was it because the links were in a row, all mushed together, because they were all relative. Well maybe because I was indicating a list of companies that all have serious control over our food supply. Was that it, because I mentioned companies like ADM , Cargill , Monsanto , Exxon/Mobile and a few others that continuously use genetically modified seed stocks to feed the world population, as well as other types of chemicals (see Exxon/Mobile (formally Rockefeller's Standard Oil)). If that was it, let me add a few others to the ...
