I was Thinking, or Not

There is sufficient evidence that there will be an economic balance in the near future.  Will it be a return to something else, or a new paradigm, this is yet to be determined.  It is certain that the current economic condition cannot continue to sustain itself. There are several factors that are leading to a major correction fo the economic imbalance.  The division of wealth is one of them.  The second is energy cost, the associated capital cost and human labor cost.  Each of these is a system of a bigger issue, and that is sustainability of the economic model.  The current model is not sustainable, and cannot continue as it is.  The idealistic system of economics that is often presented by the social bureaucrats has not and will not work.  The concentration of wealth within the holds of those which are able to hold the means of capital, and marshal them with the ability to produce economically through the use of normal capital usage is stron...

What have I of such things, this stuff that surrounds me, and by its weight alone drowns me in the mire and murk of modern existence.  These letters appear on the screen by some trick of the light, from which it seems, that any such urchin of any such means, could as well produce these lights in as a well formed way, if not immediately, within a quick moment of time.  No true labor is expended, no true arch of movement of appendage, but of digits etching digits onto what for all intents and purposes appears to be a page of some mystical origin. This grand presenter, with sound and picture, that holds fast to wall and structure by a fastening of unseen creation, processes light and radio waves, providing a view into what is most easily taken as a society, while outside, beyond the colors and shouts, there lives and breathes another sort of life.  It knows this, or so it is known, at least to those that by some distant eye see into the souls of its practitioners, all...

There is a certain expectation that is accepted when something you buy says handmade.  You generally expect that it was made by some persons hand.  To be more specific you expect that it was made by the person selling the item, or that to some degree there is some relationship to the person selling the item, and the person that made it.  You also have the idea that it was made for the most part by hand, not with a machine, although to some degree you can consider certain tools as part of the makers hands. A knitted sweater that is advertised as handmade, may very well have been made by some one’s hand, or at least on a manual machine, but that does not really make it hand made if the seller is just buying from some large selection of goods that are available to the buyers in general.  There is that the item that is considered hand made, should also be rather unique, if not entirely in design, at least in values of numbers of them available.  If a mold is use...

Yea, well I have at least for now found a way to get back online for a while, do not know how long this will last, but take what you can while you can, and let it be.  I hope to find a way to solve the issue more permanently but until then, I will be posting here as I finish some works I have worked on while I was off line.  Well that's all I got for now, but I may put more up later, back to the grindage.

Yes in case anyone was wondering I have been without internet service for a while, and still will be for a while longer, except when I can get to places that have it.  So until I can get the service up and running be assured that yes, I am still writing new stuff, and some will get out there soon I hope, and yes I am still alive, but not kicking so much anymore.  Well I haven't time for much, but will try to get things straitened out soon.  Peace and have a good time while you all still can.

Letter to My Representatives January 18, 2012 I know as my representative you are not supporting these bills, SOPA and PIPA.  As I know your being of above average intellect and concern for our welfare would not support such measures as they would create long term devastating ramifications to our economy and not achieve the designed or indicated results.   Therefore this letter is but a formality to ensure you that I support your effort to kill these bills before they are put before our President, as we all know his job is hard enough without the addition of making decisions on legislation that should not be presented in the first place. Thank you, and expect additional letters from me in the future congratulating you on your efforts, and concerning the Farm Bill.  As a farmer who also is heavily involved in the Internet, these two efforts for me intertwine.

Or at least my little part of it.  I was thinking of publishing a small condensed version of my main blog, with some bits from some of my other blogs, so I could maybe see what others think of them.  I am not a blogger like most, as I don't blog regularly, or about any particular subject.  They can be personal, political, whimsical, and any combination thereof.  They are often full of shit, sometimes include a bit of whit, and often they are referenced to the Internet (yea I know it doesn't rhyme, get over it). Well that is my thought on that, and since I haven't decided it yet, you will have to see what happens, if you find it interesting enough to remember. JD

From my G+ Stream I am hoping that no one gets the wrong idea, I am supporting the blackouts, I believe that SOPA and PIPA are bad bills, ill written at the very least (just an inside joke), and I think they should be defeated.  I just ask, what effect does that have beyond this moment.  This is a moment for people to realize their effects, to understand that legislation is not the answer to their problems.  This is a moment to realize much, but will they.  Will people, realize anything beyond the glossy essence of the moment at hand and the hype that is currently present.  This is the question I ask. As with my support, I strive to provide a new thought, what now.  If we are able to defeat these bills for our own immediate  gratification , will it provide any further insight into our human experience that could be changed not through government action, or legislation, but through the common goals and objectives that we can achieve if we really wish...

Some things to worry about, some things not to worry about. The end of the world, point blank, not something to worry about.  If it all ended tomorrow, it would not matter today, you can not prepare for it.  If the world ceases to be habitable, you are going to die, but it won't matter because you will be dead.  Further, I don't think this will happen, so I don't focus on it. World Domination, by some group or another, not something to worry about.  One, there is not one group, but several, and even if they can get together for a moment and make a decision at least long enough to get control of the world economy and maybe even other things, they can not hold it together very long.  This has been tried for ages, believe it or not, it has been the goal of many groups, the Romans, the Egyptians, the Mongols, the Gauls, and the list goes on.  The reason they were not able to do it, is the same reason that no one else will be able to do it, nature doesn't w...

War I have sat here thinking about a lot of things, as years go by, not much else that matters, because I have reserved too much too long, no more.  So ends this reign of tyranny, and begins the era of true freedom, would you know what that is.  It comes in the colors of forest, azure and gold, on a canvas, with a deft hand, dark shadows not painted in, only light is trapped in the waft of the cloth.  A struggle to write, these lines, as so much fights the truth that herein reveals.  It is not a fight, it is not a reason, there are only two old men, debating the same old saw, land of the lawless, they live in.  Now is time, to rise on the Rhine, air is to wind, the change it begins, now and for the time coming, is the undoing, as it is known to them and few others.  In the center again, where the rivers meet land, and where the mountains are dark, and the sun never shines through the forest, there lies a body that shall soon be recover...

Looking Out So much hope for the future, yet a lot of maybe, and not much more than promises.  I have seen a lot of really cool stuff, and lots that looks like it will make a difference, but will it really.  The second big question, will politics get in the way. 2012, it is the end of the world as we know it?  I really hope so, because we really need to move on.  Here are some things I am looking for, simple stupid things mostly, but let us see if this can be done, and we will move on from there. Portable printer , a nice laser printer, doesn’t have to be color, but it needs to print a full 8.5x11 or at least A4 piece of paper, regular paper, since we can not seem to get beyond paper.  I have seen some alright portable scanners , but I can scan a document with my phone, so that is moot, printers is what we need.  If we can get a portable mono chrome laser printer to be about the size of the portable scanners that would do it.  Not likely, not enough d...

Okay people, here we go, so much has been said about this bill, it has so to speak crossed my desk, so I will look at it and herein begin to understand it, it that is possible.  Most of what is presented is out of context and furthermore, it is derived from the CRS Summary, which is a summary of the bill.  At some point I may take the text to hand, but for now, let us start with this. 1st.  Requires online service providers, Internet search engines, payment network providers, and Internet advertising services, upon receiving a copy of a court order relating to an AG action, to carry out certain preventative measures including withholding services from an infringing site or preventing users located in the United States from accessing the infringing site . Requires payment network providers and Internet advertising services, upon receiving a copy of such an order relating to a right holder's action, to carry out similar preventative measures. For the most part, the lan...

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 ...

This sense we perceive of some physical machine, which is that which is the body of the person, is comprised in most of parts of parts, loosely held together by strings.  The form of these strings is such that it forms systems as it might be known of operations that to the external perception are physical in nature, while in truth they are manifestations of a natural extension of something that is entirely non-physical.  Therefore the motion of the body is purely a thought, and the thought is focused perception, within a domain of potential. We all think the same thoughts, as a common conscious decision, and individual thought is but an extension of this like mind, perpetuated as a stream of repetitive design.  Some concern is present in the deviations were they that, but expressions of the common, moderated. If not of the knowledge of the class of thought projections, and therefore unaware of levels of perception that exist within the levels of consciousness, ...
