Persecution of the Innocent

I’ve been following this story for a while and it really has me very upset. I didn’t know that you could donate to the lady’s legal fund. I want to. Please spread the word about this horrible story.

Pzizzin’

Monday, February 19th, 2007

I’ve been using PZIZZ to help get to sleep.

http://www.pzizz.com/ 

It’s software that generates tracks for your ipod to help you get to sleep, either for the night or for an energizing nap.  Each time you generate a nap, it’s different, so that your subconcious doesn’t get bored of hearing the same thing.

Last night I heard rain and wind while listening to it.  I thought, “gee, that’s new”, but it turned out to be storming outside!  LOL

Thanks to Jill for pointing out that amazing video.

Quote from site: His name is Stephen Wilshire and he is considered a star among savants in London. Stephen has the uncanny ability to photograph places he has seen only once with his mind. He is then able to reproduce them on canvas with amazing accuracy. This video is simply astounding!

It really IS amazing.

 

Leonardo’s Notebook reminds me of Moleskine.

This is very cool-

I mentioned this to a couple people already, but figured it was blog-worthy:

“Bush Administration: Grand Canyon Created by Noah’s Flood -
Grand Canyon National Park is not permitted to give an official estimate of the geologic age of its principal feature, due to pressure from Bush administration appointees. Despite promising a prompt review of its approval for a book claiming the Grand Canyon was created by Noah’s flood rather than by geologic forces.”

This country is going… nevermind.

When I saw this, I thought it was a joke article. When I realized that it’s TRUE, I got really upset and I just am having so much trouble believing that this is happening to our country. I’m just sick over this, not just *this*, but the trend behind this. I feel like I need to DO something to fight these people (fundamentalists). How can we be living in a world where science is considered a competing religion by hoards of people and people in power?!?

Student hurt by cannon blast at football game. Receives numerous threats.

Brett Karch, an ROTC student, almost lost his leg due to a cannon explosion at a football game. The town’s reaction? Threaten to break his other leg if the story gets out to the media causing them to possibly lose their ritual shooting of the cannon during football games, sick.

Teen Given 10 Years For Having Sex With Girl Two Years Younger

The Georgia Supreme Court has turned down an appeal from a teen who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for having sex with a 15-year-old. In a ruling released Friday, the court denied a motion for reconsideration filed by lawyers for Genarlow Wilson, who was 17 when he and the 15-year-old engaged in consensual oral sex.

Baby is sent through X-ray machine at LAX

“A woman going through security at Los Angeles International Airport put her month-old grandson into a plastic bin intended for carry-on items and slid it into an X-ray machine. A screener watching the machine’s monitor immediately noticed the outline of a baby and pulled the bin backward on the conveyor belt.

What I’m thinking about tonight, and surfing about…

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

Sometimes I realize that the stuff I should be blogging, I’m not, and instead, emailing it to friends. So here’s some links and quotes I pulled from my Sent Mail folder, to share what’s been on my mind (and in my browser’s history)-

I love this shirt:

JUST as I finished reading the long transcript of the paula zahn thing about james kim, I found the video, it’s in 6 parts, here:

This line of lotions and stuff at Kohl’s is amazing, it’s called “grassroots”:

I also like this Texaco shirt and this Drop It! shirt.

saw this online:
“The kind of people you may meet in college. Which one are you?”
http://forums.somethingawful.com/…

One of the types is this:
“Stupid Ugly Fat Girl
Stupid Ugly Fat Girl feels the need to enter into every single class discussion, completely disregarding the fact that she has nothing of substance to add to the conversation. Stupid Ugly Fat Girl cannot construct a sentence without using the words “like” and “um” at least 12 times for every 2 other words. She always wears clothes that are too tight, and seems partial to gaudy rhinestone shirts with incredibly original phrases such as “Princess” strewn across the front of her sagging cow tits. The only way to actually learn something in a class with the Stupid Ugly Fat Girl is to distract her attention with a shiny object.

But there is no “stupid ugly fat boy” on the list.

James Kim not the first to die on that road

Saturday, December 9th, 2006

This article surprised me…
Vandalized gate led family astray
… because I had told M. about how I remembered this one documentary about a guy who sat in his truck when he got stuck in a snow drift (rather than search for help) and he died anyway. But as he waited for help, not knowing the road was an unused logging road, he wrote a diary on papers in his glove compartment and you can see from his writings as he started to lose his vision, and other symptoms of starving to death. It was SO SAD. Well, this is the SAME ROAD that the Kims were on, and James Kim is at least the THIRD to die on that road.

Quote from article: “And in 1995, a Montana man died of starvation in his pickup as the vehicle lay stranded in a snowdrift. For as many as nine weeks, authorities said at the time, he had sat in the cab of the truck, checking off the days of the calendar in his day planner and writing stacks of letters to his sons, his fiancee and his boss.” I remember the documentary (or in-depth news story) about this guy it always stuck with me.

I’d been following the James Kim story since he first went missing, because I remembered him from TechTV and he’s in that group of techies that I watch/watched on tv, listen to in podcasts, and basically regard quite highly. I’m just sick that he didn’t make it.

Patent bullshit

Saturday, December 2nd, 2006

I think this is a very important interview. It’s sheds light on some scary aspects of the kinds of things being patented nowadays. I think everyone should listen to this interview:

Talk of the Nation, December 1, 2006 · A new report says the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is too liberal in awarding patents for the basic building blocks of science, and science suffers as a result.

npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6566273

This interview starts out with a setup like this:

Imagine going in for a checkup and having your doctor recommend a test for a genetic mutation known to increase your risk for a certain disease. Now that test might otherwise cost, say, $100, but you’re going to pay $300 because the company that developed the test has a patent on the procedure and anybody wanting to use that test must pay royalties.‘  … and then the interview goes on to discuss the various ASSININE things that are being patented- things that could possibly save lives if they were able to be used by any doctor, anywhere.  Imagine being a doctor and then being sued for THINKING about the connection between a certain amino acid level and a medical condition.

I just really think this is an important issue and that if the patent system is not changed, the ramifications could be terrible.

Doritos from heaven

Friday, December 1st, 2006

From Digg:

“A cargo container that apparently fell from a ship washed up on the Outer Banks of North Carolina today and spilled thousands of bags of Doritos brand tortilla chips on the beach. Scavengers collected the chips, which were apparently still fresh due to their airtight packaging…”

Tech Links

Thursday, October 26th, 2006

This is kind-of a “note to self” kind of post:

Someone was asking me yesterday for this link:

Dynamism.com

It’s a neat website where you can buy imported electronics. These kinds of sites are great because the U.S. is so far behind in tech.

I got my new cell phone imported. It’s a Nokia N80: bluetooth, WIFI, and THREE megapixel camera phone. I got it from this import site:
WirelessImports.com
The upcoming version of this phone (the N95) will have FIVE MEGAPIXELS and BUILT IN GPS!

The same person told me about this site:

WildDigital.com, supposedly another good site for electronics. I have not checked it out yet tho’.
