Do as I say, not as I do Democrats

As the Democrats threaten to use the "nuclear option" to ram Marxist healthcare down our throats whether we want it or not...It gives one reason for pause...to think back to 2005 when these same Democrats were decrying the "evils" of the nuclear option....here is a video collection of those moments...I love how Biden is shown on this video lamenting that he "prays to God the Democrats don't use this arrogant power grab" when they are in power...now, he is leading the way to the nuclear option. Like Michael Moore, Nancy Pelosi, George Soros, Al Franken, and the rest of the Obama bunch...its all about doing as they say and not as they do. Blinding hypocrisy.



P.S. I love Joe Biden...for all the flack the libbos gave Dan Quayle...Biden seriously makes Quayle look like Albert Einstein. Keep going Biden! At least you haven't used the racist phrase "negro dialect" yet...that is something to your credit!

Suicide Foods Blog

WHAT WERE THE MARKETING GURUS THINKING!?

One of the funniest blogs I've come across in a long time! Basically, its a collection of real world advertisements where the animals that are being eaten appear "happy" or "cooperative" in the WEIRDEST ways to sell food. Random wackyness!

Mac User for Fifteen Years and Entitled to GRIPE!

So here's the scoop. I bought my first "home computer" back in the mid nineties and a computer tech at the time, who was a friend, lets just call him "Tim" for the sake of this article...Actually, his name was really Tim so, nevermind, the cat is out of the bag.

"Tim", a PC repairman, recommended I get a Mac for a couple reasons:
1. based on the fact that Macs had an operating system that ran native to the hardware. I didn't know what any of that meant at the time but he explained that Windows ran on top of another OS called DOS, which I had heard of, and was using at work, but had no idea whatsoever what it was.
2. He was recommending a Mac because Apple had just released a new computer which was both a TV and a computer in one, called a Macintosh TV! Wahooo! a two-in-one TV I could deal with, I knew how to work a TV...mostly. A VCR, no, TV, yes.

I ran down to Computer City on Charleston and Decatur here in Vegas, and picked one up. I think that Computer City is now a gigantic PTs Pub now. Anyway, the rest is history - I would own a laptop 190cs which had an ACTUAL color screen! AMAZING! But it had nothing else - you had to buy a special dock if you wanted to actually accomplish anything productive with it, I sent it back. After the Powerbook 190cs, I then bought a Powerbook 1400 laptop
Powerbook 1400 Rest in Peace -
May God Have Mercy on your soul for I would not.

This 1400 piece died and then caused me to go Office Space on it in front of a dumpster across from UNLV, reducing it to 1400 pieces. I then bitterly purchased a G3 laptop which was better but eventually died but is still safe in my closet, with repair parts that I purchased on ebay about 3 years ago. I believe this G3 laptop is the proverbial "GTO" in the garage that I hope to put a new "engine" in but in reality is just an annoyance to my wife.

Anyways, after the GTO, I then bought a Dual G5 tower which has been the best Mac I have ever owned...knock on silicon...In fact, I am writing this little gripe on that G5 right now! aMAzing. Now, I have convinced my wife to become a Mac user and have purchased a new iMac for her - making us an ALL MAC home for the first time in our nearly 7 years of marriage. I then recommended that my church buy an iMac for video projection, they agreed, things were going swimmingly.

Here is where the love-fest for Apple all goes sour. It seems that Apple has pulled a fast one on all of us. They have completely removed the universally loved and accepted, DVI ports for monitors from ALL their systems and have replaced them with a new little piece of crapnology called Mini DisplayPort. That is a long annoying name which I shall truncate to the word "Tim". Wait...I've used that one somewhere here before, lets call that crapnology "MDP" which, amazingly, stands for Mini DisplayPort.

SO! MDP is supposedly "smaller" and "sleeker" and is able to transmit HD signals much more effeciently blah blah blah according to Apple. (The blah blah blah was actually me) At any rate. What Apple doesn't tell us is that #1 you have to buy new monitors because the sweet 22" Samsung you JUST BOUGHT is ridiculously incompatible. Your BRAND NEW monitor has DVI inputs on the back. Macs have NO DVI outputs only the MDP which means you need to buy monitors that have MDP inputs for them to work happily with your new Mac. LIAR! you say! Yes, true, but not about this subject my son. You see, Apple tells you to buy an adapter for $20 that supposedly makes your new Mac play nice with your new monitor...NO! It does not. Another secret of Steve Jobama's is this MDP crapnology is actually forced upon us because of its ability to limit piracy! YES! correctomundo! Mini Displayport crapnology has DRC firmware built into it which allows it to detect an HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) Device. If it detects either correctly or erroneously, a device that is not up to what it deems "HDCP Compliant" it will black the image and you will get NOTHING my friend. NOTHING! on your screen because the image from YOUR computer going to YOUR display device has been BLOCKED by the firmware built into MDP crapnology.

Infuriating? yes! Frustrating? Even more so! No one said ANYTHING about potential compatibility issues and now I've bought one iMac and recommended the purchase of another and I am skay-rood. So annoying. The adapters don't work, many HDCP compliant devices don't work and even some new MDP monitors are not working! My recommendation - STAY AWAY FROM BUYING MACS FOR THE NEXT 6-8 MONTHS! Let this crapnology settle in, give some genius engineers time to figure out how to communicate to and from this port and allow new devices and adapters to hit the market. This will save you lots of headaches, believe me!

I remember this happening once before when Apple suddenly removed ALL serial ports (remember those? if you're a PC person, you're still using those!) only to replace them with USB and Firewire. At the time, I wasn't a techie nerd, I was just a regular nerd, so I had no idea this was coming and no one at Apple gave a warning that ALL of our serial devices would need adapters to work. Change is fine, it just sucks when it is secretly forced on us like some Obama/Bush Bank Bailout.

Ok...I got it out of my system...now I am going to get back to that GTO in the garage...no seriously, I am going to work on that real soon...2-3 days. You'll see.

Airline Pilots Use Their Laptops and I'm not allowed to even turn on my iphone!

So I've been reading about these two pilots that were supposedly doing all sorts of things while the plane they were supposed to be flying was about 150 miles past their target. The pilots admitted to using their laptops while flying which caused a "distraction" and WHAM-MY, they fly WAY off course. Apparently the FAA has stripped them of their licenses to fly and I believe they lost their jobs at the airline.

I guess my only thoughts have been that of frustration at the double standard of airline stewardesses. If I take out my iPhone for a freaking second those Helgas are all over me to shut it off, and now I hear that its common practice for pilots to use their laptops while flying the plane. Isn't this a little backwards or at least ironic?
I think it is. But at least they managed to land safely and weren't hopped up on the pot which is comforting.

On a different airline note, I read that now Boeing and other airplane manufacturers are producing planes where the passengers line each side of the fuselage while face-elaging each other in order to cram more people in each airplane. I guess that means that the only true first class seats in the future will be the pilot seats.

Perhaps we should all take flying lessons (one at a time of course). Its a scary over crowded world we are entering.

I know the pic I used shows a pilot joking with a person taking his picture while the plane plummets toward the Las Vegas Strip, but in reality, I must admit, I doctored this photo a smidge, for dramatic effect.

Feel free to use it, just dish out a little credit love to help my little blog here.

The whole world is waiting with baited breath for this piece of crap.
I think I saw George Clooney exiting a limo earlier.

My Experimental Electronica Project

This is an EP from the first release of my Embryonica project a couple years ago called "Where Have All The Weird Days Gone?".
Just a few Experimental Electronica musings from Las Vegas with a world beat feel.

I am preparing some new tracks for a release in the next few months called "Grooves From The Short Bus". I thought I would post a little re-love on the first release. Its garnered about 5800 listens on Jamendo.com, a few favorable reviews, and even a few cuts have found their way into creepy short films (Where T-shirts Are Made) and a couple German non-profit promotional shoots.

Alas, it has not succeeded in making me a rock star. But I'm sure by the time I am 60 years old, I'll be HUGE in Japan (actually, everyone from America is Huge in Japan)
