Degradation of the Internet- a Political Rant
Alright, I think it’s time to find out who my real friends are. No, I won’t block you if you disagree with me, but I definitely will if you don’t treat my opinions with the respect that I treat yours. I think the internet is going to hell, as politics have been for decades. No longer is it about an honest debate between who has the best solution, but an ongoing flamewar of people telling each other to fuck themselves if they don’t share the same beliefs. I will hereby cover some topics in my “terrorist narrow, minded, homophobic, racist, sexist, bigoted” point of view. And yes, I have been called all those things. And now without further ado…
-‘MERICA!
Who the fuck came up with that anyway? The United States was never intended to be a mindlessly nationalistic country filled with sheep. Yes, we’re not perfect, just like any country, but I, the patriot, can admit that. I think this country was supposed to be an eternal work in progress, to try out new social and political ideas and their effect on society. And being a patriot, I can understand that not all of the ideas worked, and some were definitely slowed down, but that doesn’t mean that the country as a whole is bad. And I can also admit that other nations do things better than us.
-Guns
You guys probably know me well enough to understand that I do in fact, love them. In addition, I feel like an activist for the second amendment. What some people don’t understand, is that guns really don’t kill people. It takes an actual person to pull the trigger, and assault is a BEHAVIOR, not an object. But after reading DJB’s thoughts, I can understand where he’s coming from. It is not the gun that is the problem, but the user of said device. I do think that some people that shouldn’t buy guns do anyway, and bans wouldn’t actually work. Just look at the black market, or “underground economy.” People that really want a gun will get one some way or another, even if it’s through illegal means. And they don’t even have to use a gun, right? I’ve heard stories of people getting killed by gangs using railroad ties, and you can’t forget knives. If abiders of the law are unarmed, then it’s a lot easier to stab them, correct? In addition to this, carrying does make a difference. Just look at Switzerland- they arm and train their civilians with automatic weapons, and they still maintain the lowest crime rate of any civilized nation. And as a closer example, Washington D.C. had a higher crime rate than Iraq at one point. But if we look back at Switzerland, we’ll find that they are responsible with their firearms. They don’t go on nearly as many killing sprees due to the fact that they would get cut to shreds with all the assault weapons everyone is carrying in public. And frankly, if somebody pulled a weapon on you, which item would you rather have? Your fist or a pistol? Oh yeah, and I will pull the half of the second amendment that nobody pays attention to out: “…the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” IT has been said that it is the last opportunity to defend yourself against tyranny.
-Using Death as a Sick Punch Line
The Holocaust, 9/11, Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dark Knight shooting, Columbine, etc. were all tragedies for sure, and people tend to forget about that. At my school, I constantly hear this drug-infused kid joking about all of them. Yes, death is a natural thing, BUT SURE AS HELL NOT WHEN SEVERAL THOUSAND ARE KILLED IN ONE INCIDENT! I don't care what country it takes place in, or who they are, or what their beliefs are, but the dead deserve some fucking respect.
Tl;dr, right? Well, thank you for your time if you actually read it, and if not, then whatever. All I ask is that this be taken seriously. That’s pretty much all I have to say right now, and if you’re uncomfortable with having a conservative that’s been quiet long enough as a contact, then I bid ye farewell.

3-d Diagram showing how internet marketing works. In traditional marketing, you head for 'identification', but then quickly go into 'commodification', where you stop making money.
In internet marketing, though, you can actually reverse the process.

I can’t remember ever seeing a pharmacy advertisement billbuard that was remotely as ridiculous as this one. I mean, which somewhat intelligent human being would ever even think of filling expensive advertising space with their whole collection of worthless Internet domains (which all point to the same pages by the way), let alone use such an absurd caption for that list?
The little feicer, caught him on my laptop the last night! Apparently after Betty did the dirt he has no interest in a relationship, just wants some fun whereas poor old Yvonne's profile suggests to me she's after something more serious! He told me he emailed her and they've arranged a date, will keep ye posted!!!!!
You may (and I don't say this often) need to look at this in Large as the writing is abit small!
This isn't a video (obviously!) but if it were there are two songs I would have used, one was from Yvonne's point of view This is the one, The Stone Roses
and the other song was form Billy's POV Post breakup Sex, The Vaccines
P.S. This was NOT Billy !!!!!!! www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-14416809
I have been photographing this picturesque little shed just off 676 near Churchtown, in the Fall with a sometimes colorful Fall background for several years now. About 2 years ago someone put an add on the side for a local Internet provider degrading the rustic value just a bit in my opinion.
The third wave is using the Internet not to supliment, but to build communities. A whole new way to share!

At zero, on the line it's pure research, just like the protocols or tools that were developed early, such as e-mail, ftp or tcp. It's not definitive by the way, there are plenty of other things that I could jam onto the graph, it'd just be impossible to read, or make the graphic prohibitively large. On the positive side, or toward the top, it's commercial events, applications, etc. Negative, or toward the bottom, I'm suggesting it's events, applications, etc. that humanise the internet. It's not a definitive graph by the way, and the location in some instances are only to make it legible, not to demonstrate just how biased the instance is. It does give you an idea of the change in bias though.

I first gave this presentation in 2004. You can find the archive here.
My internet has been exceedingly unreliable and wonky lately... it has not been at all easy to get online and stay there.
So, if you need me.. um.. well..
Anyway, happy belated thanksgiving and I hope I can be back soon.

the 9 year olds back in the day when they were only 6 year olds. Found this whilst looking for something else.
The guy on the left is either really short, or standing at counter. The two guys on the right are supposed to be shaking hands, but it looks more like one is taking a business card from the other. Still a viable role in the art of networking.
I did this sketch yesterday when I felt frustrated in front of my computer. There is only so much we can get out of it. And the real value, I feel, is getting out and meeting people. Spending time with family, friends (new and old) and others just to have some face-to-face interaction. I recommend you get as much of it as you can. It's healthy for our mind, body and souls.

First flown with the Boeing test registration N1796B, this aircraft was delivered to Arctic Leasing and leased to Norwegian Air Shuttle as LN-DYU in Aug-11. It was returned to the lessor in Mar-21 and stored at Kemble, UK. Stored, updated Mar-21.
I was invited to spend two days at Europe’s most comprehensive IoT Event. This leading forum focused on case studies that show today’s Industry and Enterprises leveraging IoT technologies to transform their business through creating value and efficiencies.
The Internet of things (stylised Internet of Things or IoT) is the internetworking of physical devices, vehicles (also referred to as "connected devices" and "smart devices"), buildings and other items—embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and exchange data.
"Things," in the IoT sense, can refer to a wide variety of devices such as heart monitoring implants, biochip transponders on farm animals, electric clams in coastal waters,[16] automobiles with built-in sensors, DNA analysis devices for environmental/food/pathogen monitoring or field operation devices that assist firefighters in search and rescue operations.[18] Legal scholars suggest to look at "Things" as an "inextricable mixture of hardware, software, data and service". These devices collect useful data with the help of various existing technologies and then autonomously flow the data between other devices. Current market examples include home automation (also known as smart home devices) such as the control and automation of lighting, heating (like smart thermostat), ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and appliances such as washer/dryers, robotic vacuums, air purifiers, ovens or refrigerators/freezers that use Wi-Fi for remote monitoring.
