Consumerism and Christmas
It is that time of year again when hopes, dreams, and wish lists become reality – or so we’d wish. Very often we don’t, but that’s for a different time. Regardless of any argument anyone may ever make, prioritizing presents, gifts, or anything else over the true reason of Christmas – the birth of Jesus [...]
XBOX Live Support is Terrible
Congratulations, Microsoft, you’re XBOX Live support team has the dubious honor of being the worst I have ever dealt with. Its bad that your Web site gives me absolutely no information about how to deal with my issue. Its very bad how the “email us” doesn’t allow me to select the proper problem I’m having. [...]
Dear Random Facebook Users,
I hate you. Why? You think university/college tuition is slavery. You have the audacity to compare being kidnapped, being stripped of all rights, and then forced to work against your will for some slaver owner to freely entering into a contractual agreement to pay professors for their time. I cannot even fathom how you can [...]
Z-Exit Fire Escape Design
In response to the article “Introduction of Frictional and Turning Function for Pedestrian Outflow with an Obstacle” I have designed an alternative to the standard “double doors” emergency exit found in most locations. What was interesting in that article is how building occupants vacate a building faster with an obstacle (in this case, polls) directly [...]

Why I Skipped The Tea Parties
No, it has nothing to do with Maddow’s et al “tea bagging” joke. I definitely didn’t skip because I somehow support the ridiculous tax and spend plan of Obama – or worse – the don’t tax and but spend plans of the previous administrations. What I noticed, as the Tea Party movement grew, is that [...]
A Southern Ellis Island
Inscribed within the Statue of Liberty are the famous words of Emma Lazarus’s famous poem ‘The New Colossus:’ “Give me your tired, your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” For the almost 100 years while [...]
Major Domain Acquisition
Woohoo! More website news. The first domain is http://www.d-ua.com. I don’t really have a use for it, but it was free so I’m not complaining. Second are http://www.howtosavegasoline.org & howtosavegasoline.net. I’m going to put a free eBook, which was part of the takeover, and some ads. Also, Lots-of Info got a whole ton of new [...]
