The Birthday Massacre

Thursday, September 2nd, 2004





Nothing and Nowhere. This website is by far one of the best that I have ever enjoyed. The website is done in flash. I went ahead and purchased both albums for the Birthday Massacre. The bands music reminds me of my old college days when I was into darker music. The music is actually really good and cheap. You can purchase the actual CD, but its cheaper to go with the download. These guys are about to tour soon. I’d go, but I’m a geek these days and just wouldn’t fit in with that crowd.

Strong Bad Email

Thursday, September 2nd, 2004

Denny’s Menu

Strong bad is a flash cartoon that comes out about once a week. A funny looking guy reads email sent to him by the sites viewers and makes fun of grammer mistakes and just about anything else.

There is more to the site then just strong bad alone. The website is mainly for another character called Homestar Runner, but Strong Bad is what attracts most visitors. Ther is a whole town that the site is themed around with.

Might not be good for the younger viewers. Have fun!

Philadelphia to become huge wireless Internet hot spot - SEPT 3, 2004

Philadelphia to become huge wireless Internet hot spot - SEPT 3, 2004

Wireless internet … I upgraded my LynkSys router last year because the onboard software was getting a bit old and I needed a few new features that todays routers offer (like port triggering). Anyway, for 20 bucks more, I got a router with wireless access. I used it a little bit with my lap top and it worked pretty well. I usually had problems when I was booting up and a network connection wasn’t detected until after the software was loaded. Most computers are probably fine today - the laptop was a 100Mhz computer. One day, I will get a better laptop (with working batteries) and try the wireless thing out again.

Anyway … one day, it would be great if wireless access was just about everywhere. My cable bill charges about 40-50 dollars to access the internet. The good news is, with the play stations, servers, and desktop computers in my house, I have up to 8 connections behind my firewall accessing the internet through the same line. So I guess I can’t complain to much since I’m only supposed to have 1 connection. It is still a steep price.

Colledges usually include internet access with the price of tuition. However, are the students now paying for everyone in the area to access the internet. Hmm…

Kerry Says Republicans Distorted His Record (washingtonpost.com)

Kerry Says Republicans Distorted His Record (washingtonpost.com)

Back and forth … back and forth. Bush and Kerry keep going at it. All of this “junk” keeps getting in the way of what is going on.

I’ve mainly heard of Kerry’s plans of what he wants to do when he gets into office. One thing that I find interesting is his take on healthcare. In short … if I go to the hospital for a life-threatening (or critical) operation of sorts, then the government will pick up the tab. Because of this, it is free for me and my insurance policy. This in effect lets the insurance companies relax and eventually lower its premiums since they will not have to distribute the large charges for big operations.

I currently have 2 problems with Bush. Bush is aggressively attacking gay rites in regards to marriage. He is litterally trying to pass a bill to make sure this rite will never be permitted. Already there are laws making this impossible for the country as a whole to acknowledge gay marriage. States are permitted to recognize this as they see fit. Problems arrise when a gay couple move to another state, and then latter have a divorce. Although I am not gay or bisexual, I do see an injustice when someone moves to pass a bill restricting rites based on sexual orientation.

The second problem I have with bush is the war. Afganistan was ok. When I started hearing about Iraq, I couldn’t believe it. Then all this hoopla came about with possible weapons of destruction, and problems with the UN. If we did not attack Iraq, then today would be no different then when Bush came into office. Saddam was not going to attack us.

Our forces are limited. The army is now drafting people who have been out of service for over ten years and haven’t fired a weapon since. We can’t keep this up. And Bush’s policy seems to be that he wants to keep going and take the war to the terrorists. He is quickly running out of resources and man power. We need this to stop. The USA needs to recoup. We need stability and certainty.

Anyway … who knows. I may change my viewpoint later on down the road. It seems that Kerry is full of ideas of an enlightened future and Bush is full of anger and determination.
