Why are here now?

Human hungers lead europeans to the new world
Digesting the new worlds gold lead to the industrial revolution
Now that we have eaten the new world
Its all used up
And can't be sustained
And we will go starving
Which is our natural state

How to show the story instead of telling the story

How to show the story instead of telling the story

How to personify the human hunger and the rise and fall of civilisation

The pimp

The soldier

The dealer

Falling apart

Stealing and killing to buy a bigger engine

Unfair: ontario doctors legally required to report unfit drivers to transportation board

Unfair: ontario doctors legally required to report unfit drivers to
transportation board

Result: 8000 hospital visits, 3 million dollars, trauma, accidents, and
likely death

Doctor proposed solutions: pass the back - more road side checks, make
other professionals responsible

Real solution: charge those doctors for failing to uphold the law and
save lives, and cause so much damage

Lyrics for youtube video of great political and social import saving the world from overpopulation

If you want to be lucky, live long, win the lottery, avoid dying in a
horrible crash, survive cancer, find a 4 leaf clover, and live happily
ever after, you MUST forward the email to just TWO people that you love.
This is scientifically and inpendantly true - if you google for "Lyrics
for youtube video of great political and social import saving the world
from overpopulation" you will find hundreds of scientific papers from
leading journals about people who have won cartons of cigarettes, oil
fields in siberia, human organs, and a panda, just to mention a few.

Note - if you try and exploit the system by changing the email in any
way, or by sending it to more than two people, you will break the chain
of goodness and will cause gasoline prices to rise, a recession in the
USA, water shortages in china and austrailia, fish stock collapses in
canada, and countless other environmental disasters. and probably cause
the crash of oil tanker.

All I really need
Is a song in my bum
Food in my bum-bum
And loooooove in my bummy-bum-bum

Obviosuly such a deep, and clearly transcendental (chew-chew) meditation
needs no explanation or clarification, but I will provide one anyway,
since you asked ever so politely and because I am not feeling to grumpy
this morning.

As long as humans persist in following the path of good and evil, of
duality, of right and wrong - death and destruction for many generations
will follow.

What I mean to say is that consumption creates garbage that lasts
forever.

The sooner humanity can wake up and smell the snake eating its own tail
brand of instant individually wrapped premixed coffee the better.

We can sustain our large populations only by loving to live off our own
waste.

Another ipod replaced

A sad story
A tale of woe
Make sure you have a hanky close by

It all begin with wanting to make my ecommerce software iphone
compatible. Not wanting to buy a grey market iphone in canada I was left
with the decision of either an 8gb or a 16gb itouch.

But you're interrupting me to ask why I didn't want to buy an illegal
iphone in canada? Doesn't supported hardware and software give you
enough trouble? I don't work more work and headaches and hassles. I
don't need an iphone anymore than anyone else needs an iphone. The
itouch gives me mobile safari which is good enough.

Anyway back to my story. I picked the 16gb, knowing that if I wanted to
listen to music, watch movies, and look at photos I would need as much
space as possible. Really it was greed. I wanted as much as possible. So
I got the supersized itouch.

Within two months I had broken the stereo. The headphone jacks no longer
played stereo sound.

Why? I had plugged my dj style sony headphones in and they have a large
mini jack - yes its an oxymoron but its true. The large mini jack
coupled with the long heavy cord, coupled with being put into my pocket,
coupled with my deep jeans pocket meant the mini jack got moved around
while inside the itouch effectively lobotomizing it.

I wasn't worried I had bought future shop warranty. Idiot. $99 for
coverage apple provides for $79. I bought the applecare too. Double
idiot. So what?

A couple days after talking to apple tech support (don't call on a
weekend!) I got a box in the mail and shipped my itouch out after
following their instructions. Two days later I got my replacement.

Wow! Great service.

Now I am sending my 2nd itouch back.

Why? Because it crashes. The sound stops and the screen slowly fades to
white and can't be turned off or on. Holding down the sleep/week and
home buttons doesn't really work.

I expect to have my 3rd itouch soon.

One forum poster I read, said that he got a universal dock, but being in
canada I think we get nothing. But I can always hope...

Where can you go for a nice doughnut and a double short latte?

Q: Where can you go for a nice doughnut and a double short latte?

A: Safeway!

Instructions:
- find a safeway with a starbucks inside, and a bakery inside
Example: safeway @ 12 and broadway in vancouver b.c., ca
- go to bakery, take 2 doughnuts (lemon jelly and canadian maple
glazed)
- go to starbucks, order latte and pay for latte and doughnuts

Adam snake

Once upon this never happened.
30,000 years humans didn't just wake up and start acting different.
Homo sapiens didn't spontaneously start drawing on cave walls and
leaving artifacts for archaelogists to find.
Something happened.
Why doesn't our calendar start from then? Why does it start 28,000 years
too late?
Imagination, thought, dream, story - changed nothing until that point.
Why don't we have a history of our genealogy family by family?
Because Cain killed Abel, and it all went wrong after that?

Just as fiscal budgets must be balanced so too must environmental ones.
Like the doomsday atomic clock, a scorecard is needed for each region to

Worthy political platforms

1. Repair and build inter cultural understanding through mandatory
community service for all immigrants, high school grads and seniors

2. Repair and rebuild the environment - through research and design,
implementation, review, cultivation and harvest for the next thousand
generations

3. Repair and rebuild the economy by restoring an equitable balance to
the labour / capital relationship through duties and tariffs on
inequitably produced goods and services, punishing those companies that
abuse labour and the environment, and rewarding those that heal them

4. Repair and the rebuild the family through the delayed mortgage -
allowing parents to be with their young children and responsible for
early childhood education, and paying the mortgage once kids are in
school

Why the american embassy in baghdad is visible from space

We can look into the past for answers.
Human ambition has been straightforward for thousands of years.

Monument building is a basic human activity.

As civilisations grow wealthier, the leaders build large monuments.

The large monuments are to demonstrate the leaders power, to himself
(they are men), to his people, and to his enemies.

And like fruit on tree, the way to make a civilisation produce large and
beautiful monuments, is to put it under immense stress and pressure.

Resource shortages, threat of invasion seem to create these monuments as
if the civilisations knew they were about to die.

Unfortunately, the largest monuments are the last monuments a
civilisation builds before collapsing.

Its as if the king is a condemned prisoner and says, since I am going to
die anyway, I don't have to worry about the future, so I will use all my
resources to realize my dream - which is to build the biggest monument
the world has ever seens.

What are some of these monuments?

The great wall of china
The heads of rapa nui
The pyramids of meso america
The pyramids of egypt
The castles of europe
The stone circles in england and brittany
The giant buddhas of asia
The american embassy in baghdad

Online applications to make you more productive this holiday season!

As the holiday winter break fast approaches, you are no doubt curious about how to improve your productivity at work with what time you have left. Never fear - Josh’s list of online apps is here with free features to delight and amaze.

These days the number of great free web applications is truly amazing.

I want to share with you some free tools that will let you store files, backup your computer, send huge files to people, and give you secure remote access to your computer.

No doubt you have a gmail.com account - no longer is it restricted to be used for email.

Now that Google has increased the available space from 2gbs to 5gbs (enough for a DVD) it is big enough that you can use it as a hard drive to store files.

The easiest way to do this is to use the Firefox (www.firefox.com) web browser, and install an addon called gspace - available from http://www.getgspace.com/. This will give you a web interface to upload and download files to your free gmail space. It’s free, and works on Macs and Windows.

This is good for big project files you want to take home (and can’t find your usb key) - but not a good way for daily backup. To handle daily backup of your key files - which should be less than 2GBs - there is mozy.com - to sign up click here - https://mozy.com/?ref=9HAZY1 to get an extra 256MBs of backup space. Mozy installs itself on your computer and lets you select a private key to encrypt your data and which files to back up. That’s it. Of course when disaster strikes and you need to restore you have several ways to do it. It’s free and works on Macs and Windows.

We have looked at storing big files in gmail, backing up your computer, now let’s look at emailing big files. These days file sizes are getting bigger, and we still need to share them with other people. However, network administratos frown on sending large attachments through email, as it slows down everyones email, and uses up valuable email server disk space. So what can you do?

Use www.sendthisfile.com! Another free service, it allows you to upload files of any size, as an email attachment in their system. You then specify the subject, body, and the recipients and the servce then sends the emails with a link to download the files. Fast free and painless. Because it’s web based it is completely cross platform, running on Macs and Windows.

Finally - have you heard about www.logmein.com? The free remote access solution to your computer? Have you ever needed a way to get to your computer at home from work? or to your work computer from home? Need something that punches through even the toughest of firewalls? (I know a dubious feature - but logmein.com is very secure.) Then you need to check out www.logmein.com. Note - even though you sign up for the free version, they still sign you up for the paid version. To correct this be sure to update your subscription preference to free and you will be able to keep using the product for years to come.

Hopefully - this list of free web goodness will put a smile on your face, and some cheer in your heart, just in time for the season of giving!

How many miles to babylon?

What I know to be true, is that humans, like angels and spirits are able
to travel through multiple worlds. Humans, by and large, are unaware of
it. We are too busy brushing our teeth, or forgetting to take out the
garbage until the last minute, to notice that when we have entered
another world.

Some humans are better able to sense the boundaries of worlds, and fewer
still can see the doors. Some can travel when they are asleep, and some
when they are awake.

I can see the doors, when I dream and when I am awake. I can see the
possibilities of the worlds ripple around me, bits and pieces of many
different worlds poking into this one, just as this one pokes into
theirs.

I learned many bitter lessons when I was a child that the doors between
worlds close behind you and you can't go back through the one you came
through.

I learned as a boy to try every door to see if I can go back, and I have
found a few. When I was younger, I wrote them down, I memorized them, I
carried the book and mapped my progress so I could always get back to
where I was before. I didn't want to be trapped, I needed away to
escape.

And now, I don't travel. The doors are there, but though there are
probably infinite worlds, each is filled suffering and death, and
brother killing brother.

I have looked and looked and looked. There is no way back to the
garden.

And the knowledge of this has become a heavy fist around my intestines.

http://www.richard111.com/bamburgh1.htm

What am I hoping and wishing for?

What am I hoping and wishing for?

I want my self respect
I want to like myself
I want to like what I do
And know I am doing the right thing

I don't want to be angry
I don't want to be a monster
I don't want to yell and scream

I don't want you to be angry at me
I don't want you to be a monster
I don't want you to yell and scream at me

Even though bad things happen
I still believe in happiness

I don't want to be your curse
If I can't be your hero, I don't want anything

I would rather be lonely
And have my liberty
And my sense of self respect

Then trade those things
For money and misery

What right have i

I call her names
She calls me names

I hurt her feelings
She hurts my feelings

I said squid
She says ochingo

Lets call the whole thing off


A regular friday night party
Doesn't end well
Everyone tired
Children unhappy to go home at 9.30pm

Earlier
I thought it funny
To compare me and her to our friends as characters from winnie-the-pooh
And not in a mean spirited way
But laughing and accepting who she is
I named her eyore, sad and gloomy and depressed
And then changing my mind
I named her rabbit, a busybody, always anxious and busy, poking her nose
in others business, who means well but isn't very nice

And may before that, or after that
A christmas tree
Her But plastic is better
Him No alive one is better
Her But you have to kill it
Him you mean like your favorite bacon?
Her but the mess the needles
Him why have kids? Just have an abortion

And then
Later
At home
The tears
The crying

How could I
Be so mean
And cruel
In front of friends, clinets, potential customers

Is it so wrong?
Yes
I want to uplift not putdown
I don't like being putdown anymore either

Not now

I have the right to argue
And discuss
And remonstrate her

I have asked her before to consider being kind, and loving and caring

But its not her nature

I ask her to go
More than once
I turn off the light

Until finally leaving
How could you - on my birthday

Princess and pirates

Needs special event timer
Needs solo battle timer

Need more chance sticks -pick one up and then place a new one

Solo battles
Memory
Word scramble
Mini puzzle - count pieces connected
Geometric pieces make into this shape
Map game - point to places

Storm - people get moved to new places
Move money - money gets shifted 1 or 2 places left or right
Move stars - stars get moved 1 or 2 places left or right

Helpers
Need to buy a ship for a pirate to move into
Need to buy a castle for a princess to move into

Pirates and princesses have a chance of helping you get more money when
you win, or losing less when you lose

Dwarves and fairies have a chance of making jewels cost less

Big idea

Tell stories kids are known too like

Talk about the origin of life
Of death
Of money
Of power
Of fame
Of taxes
Of war
Of work
Of civilization
Of civilization collapse
Of banks
Of evolution of species
Of our survival
Of our one breath
Of inflation and depression that causes the poor to do environmental
damage to make a living since nothing is left

What ever ideas come in to me head

Game
Funny robot chicken
Doddlewood bump
Attacks politicians
For being too simple and not cunning
Need to extract more rent
Need to serve corporate masters better
Beat them up for not extracting enough oil and gas
For not making planet hot fast enough
For not exterminating species sooner and faster
Doodlewood bump, emperor, job is to kick politicians asses that we know
Why aren't you building whore houses in vancouver so we can exploit
street people and immigrants?
Why isn't crack and meth legal like cigarettes so manufacturers can put
warning labels on the product - may cause permanent brain damage, not
for pregnant ladies etc
Why aren't they building casino's on the ferries?
Why aren't they drilling in the pacifc off haida gway?
Why aren't they allowing more fish farms?
Why don't they just keep canadian soldiers home, and randomly shoot the
lower ranks and give the money saved to the widows?
Why not sell the hospitals so the doctors can charge the sick what ever
they can pay?

Emperor bump and noodlehead - go to china

eb = emperor bump is like a con, a fast eddy, dr frankenstein, dr
strangelove. Speaks like death, darth vader, and grim, BUT WITH
AMBITION. Eb wants to rule the world. He wants dominion. He wants to
save thie world and keep it safe in his kingdom, but his ideas consume
lots of energy, are overly complicated and have unpredictable unintended
consequences.
nh = noodlehead is like charlie chaplin, jackie chan and forrest. Speaks
like a monster truck announcer, a game show announcer, and a fm dj. He
wants do no harm and make incremental changes. He wants to spread the
risk across many people to make a stronger system.

Eb - noodlehead - you won't be able stop me this time. My legions have
successfully fooled your spy satellites, and have drilling rigs in new
locations in the amazon, the arctic and the antartic. Soon our oil
production levels will double and then triple, and the worlds people
will rise out of poverty because of the energy I have unleashed. The
whole earth will shine with energy.

Nh - it would truly be a miracle if you were able to pump oil - since we
faked all the exploration company data for those locations.

Eb = fool! Imbecile! What have you done! Children will die without that
oil.

Nh - I will not let you risk the remaining species on the planet on a
gamble. You have already committed specicied hundreds of times.

Eb - you don't understand. The ice age is coming after the heat wave. We
need the fuel to survive. I am building biospheres.

Dream remembered

I have joined an online community
There are cultish overtones
(Maybe peace enlightenment etc.)
And the spiritual leader is woman
She isn't running the day to day
Instead she is lecturing

At an orientation or a small meeting
I am told personally
That she sometimes the nicknames
A2anne34 or A2person34 with generic icons
Or jacqueline with a wide brimmed round grass hat icon with a blow
ribbon

Then I started to play
I found jacqueline's house and went into a photo of a beautiful beach
with trees, and blue ocean and a path

I walked on the path to a 1 storey white common greek style building
around a courtyard
The courtyard was filled with brilliant blue water
With a path to center island
I walked on to the center island
A key floats in front of the locked box
I open the box

Now I am in a city by the ocean
A road winds alongs the shore
on the left is the shore crowded with houses built higher and higher
On the right is the ocean
The shore zigs and zags around a bay
So to my left the road disappears
I see the bay and then far off I see the road again
And to my right the road disappears around a sharp bend
I must be on a point
In front of me is the ocean
And in the distance mountains climb out of the ocean, covered in dark
green mantles
A camera with a zoom lens bumps my chest
As a pair of orcas steams in to my view
I do my best to take their picture
Operating the zoom, focus and pointing camera in right direction
And they are gone
I hear a bark and look down
To find a beautiful small seal at my feet
I try to take a photo but the zoom lens makes it impossible to get a
really good shot
Why is the seal on the house side of street?
I look around and notice 2 more
This must be the baby seal
What must be the mother seal is so thin it is grotesque
She must be starving but still trying to feed her children
There is an old lady watering her roses not far from the seal
"Why don't you feed them?" I ask.
"Not my problem," she says.
I take out my cell phone and lookup marine animal rescue.
I take a picture with my cell phone and email it to them.
Then I call them.
They say the will send a crew. I say I am going to wait. They say they
don't know how long it will be. I say again I will wait.
And I wait.

Intuitions of a special person

- be aware of people that put you down - you are special - as are all
things - you need to treat yourself with care

- breathing connects you to your body - which you are not taught - you
have been taught to be outside your body - be in the body to be in the
body

- be in the body every day - just showing up brings insights

- be aware of people that make you stressed out - you need people to
help you relax and be calm

- invest in good people in the office and data centre, so you can meet
customers

- what if the body is the soul, or the unconscious and by breathing you
connect with it and allow information you stored for processing to be
received

- what if the earth is to you what your body is to your mind

rumpletstiltskin simplified version

retold by joshua scott paul

Once upon a time, a poor oil and gas producer named loman miller, was out drinking with his Bilderberger buddies. One by one they all got to bragging about their children, and loman, who was so proud of his daughter Jeannie, bragged that his university educated daughter would be a good wife for the president, as she had invented a way to synthesize straw into oil.

One of his friends or enemies told the president, who had Jeannie quietly and efficiently kidnapped on grounds of national security and had her put in a top security facility with all the latest equipment put at her disposal - for her "safety."

The president came to visit her, "Synthesize this straw in to oil for the good of the nation in 30 days, or you and your father could be abducted by enemies of the state and executed." The president continued to mock her, "Of course if you succeed I would be happy to ask your father for your hand in marriage," she was told with a sneer.

First one week passed, then two weeks passed. The third week passed. A few more days flew by, till it was the night before - and still she couldn't synthesize straw into oil.

From out of nowhere a little man appeared. He looked her up and down and said - 'what will you give me if I synthesize this straw into oil?'

Jeannie said 'I have nothing to give you.'

'Give me that gold necklace around your neck,' the little man told her.

'But that was my mother's necklace. It is all I have to remember her by. Don't ask for that,' Jeannie pleaded.

'What good is the necklace if can't save your life? Do you think the executioner will not slip it from your neck after he shoots you in the back of the head? Would your mother want you to keep the necklace and lose your life instead?' asked the the little man.

'What if you run away after I give you the necklace?' she asked.

He gripped her neck with surprising speed and strength - 'I could take it now,' he said and then let go.

'Take it then,' she said slipping it over her head.

He put the necklace around his neck, and set to work configuring the equipment, programming the computers, feeding the straw into the DNA sequencers, and as he worked he began to sing a lullaby. And the lullaby, the sound of the spinning separators and the hypnotic pumping of the vacuums soon put Jeannie to sleep.

The dawn broke, and the president came and saw that the straw had been synthesized into oil.

"A fluke. It could happen to anyone. Put this into my strategic petroleum reserves, and move her in to a larger facility. This time give her more straw!" The president turned to Jeannie, "Synthesize this straw in to oil for the good of the nation in 30 days, or you and your father could be abducted by enemies of the state, tortured and executed. Your not getting away that easily. You will need to do it again. I don't know how you did what you did, but you won't be able to do it a second time!"

First one week passed, then two weeks passed. The third week passed. A few more days flew by, till it was once again the night before - and still she had nothing done.

From out of nowhere the same little man appeared. He looked her up and down and said - 'what will you give me if I synthesize this straw into oil?'

Jeannie said 'I have nothing to give you.'

He said 'Give me that gold ring on your finger.'

'But that was my mother's wedding ring. Don't ask for that,' Jeannie pleaded.

'What good is the ring if can't save your life? Do you think the executioner will not slip it from your finger after he shoots you in the back of the head? Would your mother want you to keep the ring and lose your life instead?' asked the the little man.

'What if you run away after I give you the ring?' she asked.

He gripped her hand with surprising speed and strength - 'I can take it now, just like I could have taken the necklace last night. And I didn't run away last night did I?' and then let go.

'Take it then,' she said slipping it off her finger.

He put the ring on the necklace around his neck, and set to work configuring the equipment, programming the computers, feeding the straw into the DNA sequencers, and once again he began to sing a lullaby. And the lullaby, the sound of the spinning separators and the hypnotic pumping of the vacuums soon put Jeannie to sleep for a second time.

The dawn broke, and the president came and saw that even more straw had been synthesized into oil.

"Put this into my strategic petroleum reserves. Now move her in to the largest hangar we have and this time make sure you give her all the straw you've got!"

Just like every other time she was told "Synthesize this straw in to oil for the good of the nation in 30 days, or you and your father could be abducted by enemies of the state, brainwashed, tortured and executed."

First one week passed, then two weeks passed. The third week passed. A few more days flew by, till it was the night before - and still she hadn't been able to synthesize straw into oil.

In the hangar Jeannie busied herself configuring the equipment, programming the computers, feeding the straw into the DNA sequencers. She couldn't give up. But nothing was working. The straw was being turned in to mud.

Something was missing, but what?

She's seen straw synthesized into oil twice - she knew it was possible. but she just couldn't make it work. there were too many combinations. she couldn't figure it out.

for millions of years humans have survived disasters, jeannie thought to herself, she could survive this small disaster. not an ice age. not a meteor. not a solar flare. not a disease or a volcano or a tsunami. just converting grass into gas. just a few more tweaks and she'd have it. but it's impossible. its too far away.

jeannie, too exhausted to cry slides her back down the side of the machine and puts her head in her arms.

As she was starting to go to sleep a familiar voice says to her 'what will you give me this time, if I synthesize all this straw into oil?'

'I have nothing left. You have taken everything, I have nothing left to give.' she said.

He looks her in the eye and says 'Give me your first child.'

'I couldn't do that. I will not do that. I would rather die than give you my child. What kind of mother would sell her child's life to save her own? Have mercy.' Jeannie pleaded.

'Who knows,' the little man says, 'maybe you will never have a child, what harm can come of it? Anyway you are going to die if you don't give me a child. At least if you give me a child - you will have had a child - a child to pass on your destiny - and your child may have a chance at a better life than you. How can you deny that child their chance at fighting inequality?' said the little man.

'What if I run away after I give birth?' she asked.

'I will hunt you down and kill you, I will kill your child, I will kill every last one of your family, I will kill your friends, and I will kill everyone who ever knew you, until every last memory of you is gone.' he says.

'Take it then,' she said, 'if i have i child it will be yours.'

He then set to work configuring the equipment, programming the computers, feeding the straw into the DNA sequencers, and he began to sing a lullaby. And soon the lullaby, the sound of the spinning separators and the hypnotic pumping of the vacuums soon made Jeannie sleepy. But this time she was ready, and she stayed awake and recorded everything, and finally at long last all the machine was done.

The dawn broke, and the president came and saw that all the straw had been synthesized into oil.

"Good. Put this into my strategic petroleum reserves. Now you will marry me."

Within the year, the president and jeannie had married and a beautiful baby boy was born.

Remembering her promise to the little man, she doubled spending on white house security.

One day the little man appeared and said "Lady, I have come for the child."

But she refused, begged for mercy, and finally threatened to kill the child rather than have the child taken from her.

"I will have mercy on you, with one condition - you have 3 days to guess my name."

Immediately Jeannie dispatched every resource at her disposal out looking for clues, hints and threads.

The next day the little man came and she guessed. But every guess was wrong...

Jeannie redoubled her teams efforts, increasing the bounty placed on the information leading to locating the little man's name.

The next day the little man came again and again she guessed. Again every guess was wrong...

Jeannie redoubled her teams efforts, doubling the bounty placed on the information leading to locating the little man's name.

And finally, improbably, because this is a story, one of her security teams was able to locate the missing link and find out his name.

The little man pranced in, eager to collect his bounty when she bent down and whispered his name.

His fury was so great at hearing her say his name, that he tore himself in two.

The End.

Artificially Low us dollar hides high oil prices from us consumers
before election

Yes canadian dollar is a petro commodity dollar, and going up.

But pre election, dollars stays down to drive exports / jobs / profits
up, and gas prices down - since oil is priced in us dollars.

Rangeun

Why am I in rangeun
I don't know

There are of course skyscrapers and slums

But in my dream the street people I meet
Under the bridge overpass
Are caucasian
Like the street people I see every day in the downtown east side
Except these people are disfigured and deformed

I haven't made accomodation plans
And the street I am on has 3 places to stay
All have signs pointing to the basement, where there is a "door" made of
corrugated iron covering a dark hole
These doors are smaller than half size doors
The upper building doors are bigger
Just the places to stay doors

I pick the one that has a ground level front desk
It is half height as well
And it is old and poor shape like everything on the block
There are two middle aged ladies behind the desk
The skinny one is in front of the opening that serves as a window

For some reason I try to ask how much rooms cost in spanish
She answers in english
As she leans forward
I look at the small swelling of her breasts
The cost is less than 10 cents a night

Next thing I know

I am watching Rangeun's king torture chamber
I believe he is taking me on a tour
He is dressed in privates fatigues but with the shirt buttons undone and
gleaming boots
He has shoulder length black hair with a wild mustache
He looks charming

The first cell
I watch from a camera inside the cell facing the door
The guards enter to prepare the captive
Ziploc ties across the eyes
Ziploc ties hands behind the back
And I don't see it but I assume ziploc ties around the knees

I see the captive is waiting on the tv
The king enters
The prisoner attacks with his head
I can't see anything

Next I see another captive already prepared
This one is bowed and kneeling
Is this one me?

We leave the cell and are standing in front of a cell door
And the king says to me this prisoner is on amphetamines just like me
Beyond the door is the jungle
Perhaps its inside, perhaps its outside with a fence
The king and I are running
The kings prisoner is a leopard
Staying ahead of it requires copying the king
Who is running on top of the fence with cat chasing us along the bottom

If I were to die tomorrow, what would my wish be?

If I were to die tomorrow, what would my wish be?

Is it fair to say at the beginning that a whole lifetime is a tomorrow?

But wait I will answer as common sense dictates.

My first wish is tell my children, and all the worlds, the secret truths
about the world, that adults don't want them to know. All roads lead to
destruction, and all destruction leads to new roads. So that they may be
free.

Where do all roads go? The gas station.

Everything they ever wanted to know about cars and gas stations, and how
the rich are eating the heart of the world, and drinking its blood. And
how though the heart and blood have given the murderers power, it has
cursed and enslaved them. Unfortunately, we are now all on one boat, and
if we don't change direction we will die.

Second, is my wish to love and be loved in return. To be happy with
someone, and have someone be happy with with me in return. Happy,
laughing, and singing.

Third, invent and profit from the mass production of some aspect of
material cultural, that leaves the world a better place than when we
found it.

Emperor bump, noodlehead and pirate panda

"The gang wars in vancouver are attracting too much attention. Some
people are asking for the port police to be reinstated - which would be
a major setup to my world domination plans," said emperor bump.

"Not as much as set back as legalizing it would," said noodlehead.

"True. Call the PR firms, and have them create press releases and
contact university criminology professors to deflect the increasing,"
said bump.

Noodlehead took out his phone and began dialing. Emperor bump, took his
own phone and checked the appointments just as someone started knocking
- just in time.

Pirate panda entered and bowed.

"Pirate panda go to vancouver and bring peace quickly. I want you to
take at least 1 of my best legion's. I want it done quickly and
quietly."

"What do you want left?" said pirate panda.

"Remove the middle from all factions - I want the bosses officers all
removed. Leave the generals to worry about the soldiers loyalty,"
emperor bump smiled.

"We won't leave the bosses with a single a officer. They will be
helpless," pirate panda.

Why should you care that a month ago we got the newly announced Brother
network colour printer?

Because it sucks less then your old inkjet or black and white laser.

But your inkjet isn't broken, and neither is your black and white laser
printer, why should you switch?

When did that stop you before? Did your last digital camera die before
you bought a new one? How about your car?

You sold the one on ebay or craigslist and bought the new one.

Why do you need it?

You don't need it. Just like you don't 2gbs of ram to run vista, or just
like you don't need a wii, or just like you don't need an ipod.

Its just more convenient not to get ink on your fingers.

Really - I don't need a color printer for business - and you can't use
this printer for photos.

So what's the point?

The point is, when do decide to replace your old laser printer - what
are you going to pick, a monochrome printer or a colour?

I want to print what I see on the screen.

So a reasonably priced colour printer does that.

Conclusion
Very highly recommended for home office user
Highly recommended for small 10 to 15 person office or department as
main or 2nd printer

Brother aims low and scores big!

Review Brother hl-4040cn

Why should you care that a month ago we got the newly announced Brother
network colour printer?

Because it sucks less then your old inkjet or black and white laser.

But your inkjet isn't broken, and neither is your black and white laser
printer, why should you switch?

When did that stop you before? Did your last digital camera die before
you bought a new one? How about your car?

You sold the one on ebay or craigslist and bought the new one.

Why do you need it?

You don't need it. Just like you don't 2gbs of ram to run vista, or just
like you don't need a wii, or just like you don't need an ipod.

Its just more convenient not to get ink on your fingers.

Really - I don't need a color printer for business - and you can't use
this printer for photos.

So what's the point?

The point is, when do decide to replace your old laser printer - what
are you going to pick, an cheaper b

Netsuite - 25 things

1. They have a direct sales model like dell.
2. Direct sales team compensated only one 1 year deals
3. Direct sales team earns nothing on renewals
4. Every partner I talked to had fought or knew someone who had fought
with direct sales team
5. Deals lost always in excess of 60k - with commissions at 30%
6. Direct implementation team charged client 60k for 12k implementation
that had to be redone
7. System failed after importing 2 million leads
8. System support 5 decimal places - not 6
9. Weak multicompany
10. Find a partner system removed from website because it competes with
netsuite
11. Due to recurring revenue model, partners bullied because they are
afraid to have their recurring revenue lost if they have their partner
status revoked
12. Skyytek is a franchise system of partners
13. Netreturn is master licensee for austrailia
14. Sirius satellite radio canada wouldn't sign due to hosting outside
canada
15. One of the new partners in my class is fighting with netsuite over
240k customer - $60k commissions
16. Clients not wanting to renew because of poor direct implementation
are seeking partners to re-implement - but unhappy about spending again
17. Partners seeking partners to do custom ecommerce
18. Direct sales team discounts licenses upto 80%, and pads

20. Sage accpac and accpac crm really good, more expensive and missing
ecommerce
21. Mid market partners need ecommerce experts
22. Netsuite doesn't share partner directory with partners - dating site
needed
23. Partners want an association of software as a service vendors for
netsuite, salesforce dot com, intaact, plex and sugarcrm - that company
reps are forbidden to enter and subscribers are forbidden to share
24. Canadian tax law forbids books to off premises, and remote acceess
means off premises - yet customers have been audited by ccra without
problem
25. Big companies wanting Quickbooks migrations common

What is the meaning of life?

What is the meaning of life?

So many people realy don't know. They guess. Or they believe stories.

But many people think the meaning of life is a mystery and that it is a
question that doesn't have an answer.

Are we not the result of millions of years of evolution?

Are we not the result of life trying to make more life?

Are we not the lifes solution to date to the problem of staying alive in
the universe?

Are we not the result of billions of years disasters?

disdasters happen and we adapt and respond and thrive.

How have I sold my childrens future?
A $30,000 car used up my line of credit.
Why I am responsible?
The car and gas companies spend billions.
But I bought it.
The car feels good.

Dream

First
I am on ship with bad guys
I am in a mech suit, so are they
I am faster and quiter than them
And I take all 300 of them out
I return to my orbiter
I discover the ship is the mech
I didn't take it out
The ship puts a virus in the orbiter
Which cooks us

Next
Too scrambled but
9 nearly identical peep shows girls
Distract the officers and nco's
While the missing 10th
Is found in her landing pod near the castle
By a robot patrol
She takes all three out by suprise and speed

Next
Forest walk in england
A birthday party
There is a long stone racetrack with curved embankments
I wander off the trail unaware of the time
One of the parents finds me and we head back
Crossing a stream and climbing over a electric fence that is turned off
We meet another dad who is going in wrong direction and bring him along

3am dream -

Working late one night, all my staff had gone home except the new
sysadmin who was showing me what a good job he had done organizing and
cleaning up the server room. He had done a really good job putting
everything away. I offered a few suggestions and encouragements.

It had been dark outside for a while, and it was time to go, when the
phone rang. Normally, I would be nervous, wondering which client was
calling to complain about a server failure, but I had just reviewed the
monitoring system so I was sure everything was fine.

I answered the phone curious to see who it was. It was the building
maintenance guy, he sounded surprised to reach me, and explained he had
called the wrong number by mistake. I hung up and turned to the new
sysadmin who was waiting patiently and said it was strange for him to
call.

Then there was a knock on the door. We looked at each other, but neither
of us was expecting anyone.

"Who's there?" I asked through the door.

No answer.

Who could it be? What did they want?

Maybe it was a mistake.

But my heart started to pound, and my stomach began to burn.

I looked through the spyhole and saw two huge guys I had never seen
before in front of the door.

Immediately I put the chain on the door, but before I could finish the
door exploded backwards and they were in the room staring at us.

I knew it wasn't good that they weren't wearing masks.
I knew it wasn't good that I had talked to the building maintenance
guy.
I knew they were here for something, and they were going to get it.

Debit cards suck - don't use them - I had $500 stolen on saturday and
$500 stolen today.

I have no idea how they got my PIN.

And I am liable!

Since I reported it I am won't be liable for the $500 the guy will
probably take out tomorrow - because they can't actually cancel my
card.

Credit cards protect consumrs better.
