My views -- Not saying they are right but they are mine.
I think my other problem is I don't believe in war in general. Most wars come down to its leaders. I figure why drag an entire country down with you. Lets do it death match style so you can put your own asses on the line for what you believe so fervently in. (Two men enter, one man leave lol) I know that sounds oh so very democratic but it isn't. It is humanistic. I'm an independent damn it! Yes I want universal health care but I also what a flat tax which is libertarian. I also believe in small government at the same time which is republican. Abortion is wrong in my eyes but it is not my decision nor my body so I am pro-choice (I do want to say if I could carry a child, I would; because I feel it is a honor to be given that type of responsibility over a life). I have never touched an illegal drug in my life yet I feel far to much tax money is spent trying to stop it instead of using it as another form of taxed income. We all know it is just a matter of time anyway. Marbol has already trademarked Marbol Greens just in case.
Grow the economy by supporting small business cause big business will always be just that, BIG.
Ok one more issue. I believe reparations are owed not because of Lincoln but because the country to a point was developed on the back of unwilling participants. I am a part of an African American generation that has little hope of being able to find where we originally come from. How can I have a sense of pride about a country that cut me off from my ancestry. Don't get me wrong, a great deal of African life well--sucks. I'm greatful I am in a better situation, but that is not good enough. Native Americans got land, I want mine damn it!
Ok I have laid it out a bit. Like it or hate it, it is me.

Gates vs. Jobs w/C64 cameo

Mac Beautiful
Ok I have finally been tested on my resolve to to tell anyone who asks me to buy a Mac. My wife's aunt called and asked what I recommended in a Laptop and I immediately told her buy a Mac. But I hesitate to say that she told me about this to good to be true deal she gets through her husbands job and I folded. Dang it Apple and Brother Steve,, drop the prices man!!! It is hard enough to convince people to adjust to a new interface with out having to explain the price. Please Brother Steve, give us a $800 12" iBook!!

WOW Christmas Eve Massacre
Thx to my buddy RevZor for this one! That is my toon Meate and Potatoes lol. I didn't even take a step past the portal lol.
It's a small Internet
So I am prepping the yard at the townhouse for the slews of potential renters while listening to some podcasts. One of the shows I listen to very often is MacCast with host Adam (04-04-07 show). In the show they get to a section on Apple TV were Adam talks about his experience. He gets to a section where he had some questions about surround sound and he leads to an audible comment left by one of his listeners, Lance G. Now I know what you are thinking. Who cares. When Lance actually works with me as a trainer. I have gone to his house for super bowl and I am going to reception for his wedding. In other words we know each other pretty well. It just kind of shocked me to hear someone I know on a web-based program. Now I know the guys here are gonna ride him for a while (mainly cause I told them about it lol) but it is actually a really cool thing. A Mac specialist referred to one of my friends as a consultant. So Lance I gotta say good job buddy. Now I must embarrass the crap out of you lol. Here is a link to the show if you wnat to hear it, and by all means subscribe to it in iTunes. It is a really good show.

Chapman Stick scene in Dune
Ok last one but I had to post the scene from Dune..lol Check the guy out that was sleep lol. Sorry my favorite movie of all time so I had to post it.
Chapman Stick video - One Cloud
This guy is a master. I only posted the other vid because of the history and the fact that he showed different styles.
Darrell Havard Chapman Stick Demo
I can't believe I never heard of this instrument. The fact that Patrick Stewart used it in the original Dune as a prop just adds to its lure. I so have to learn how to play this. One guy said that it is more like playing a piano. The lure of being able to play the rhythm along with the lead is wild. I know the vid has a bit of a bio but it is truly a unique instrument.

Die DRM Die!!
- EMI is allowing their full catalog of music to be downloaded without DRM protection starting in May (Artist included such as Norah Jones, ColdPlay, Beetles, Beatie Boys, David Bowie, Duran Duran lol Duran Duran)
- DRM is technology that limits the use of music on multiple platforms (In the case of iTunes only iPods will play their stuff or for Windows Media Player only the Zune will play those purchased songs)
- The new songs will cast $1.29 instead of $.99 but will also go from 128bit sound to 256bit sound.
- For audiophiles that is a biggie to get near CD quality sound
- You can still get the files with DRM for $.99 at 128bit
- If you have any titles already from EMI you can upgrade them to the DRM free, 256-bit versions for $.20
- Lastly the CD compilations will remain the same price for DRM free verisons.

Get a little WOW going
Those of you that know me know I have engaged in an MMORPG called World of Warcraft for the last two years off and on. Well now for some reason I am getting into playing my new character, a Dreni, Hunter. Big whoop right?? Well you have to understand that this character has brought me full circle. I started off with a Dwarf, Hunter way way back when the game first came out. So anyway I wont bore you with game play or anything liek that but I will leave you with a simple picture to introduce Larfwin on the Eonar server lol.
