Technology is wonderful . . . when it works.

6.22.2006

Once again my Internet Connection at home is funny.
It works, then it doesn't work, and then it works, etc, etc. I am beginning to think it is the PC and not the connection . . . we will see. Even thought comp is still pretty powerful, it is almost 4 years old, time for some updating? For now, I will update from work.

Updates.
Fat Bug is now 50% complete, this is gonna be a long episode, and won't be done by the end of the weekend. I am still waiting for a script for the next episodes of JesusMan! I am still trying to update one clients website, so that is also keep the webcomics behind.

You are Listening too . . .
We are back to Tom Waits, Piper's favorite artist. The tune is Hang on St. Christopher, and is originally off the 1987 album Frank's Wild Years.

Once again, Iraq.
Interesting Congressional Debates going on. The US is stuck between a rock and a hard place in this one. On one hand, if you are gone by the end of the year, Iraq turns into a civil war, and eventually a Theocracy, and perhaps 3 seperate nations. If you stay, you continue to be stuck in the mire that is Iraq. The Malach plan calls for the US to suck up it's pride and ask the UN, NATO, and the rest of the world to help. You can read that here.

Teen Drivers.
No one can put up a cognizent argument that proves teens are good drivers. I remember being a teen driver and the stupid stuff I did, and I wasn't nuts as some of my friends. Well it seems the statistics prove this out.

Wow!
Cher is 60, and starting to look it. She has a point though. Why is it that the first thing people say when you against the War in Iraq, is that you don't support our forces there. It's not their fault and this is not the 70's. I think us anti-war people point the blame squarely where it belongs.

Minimum Wage!
Here this issue. $5.15 an hour. Imagine trying to make a lving on that. That is $300 short of $11,000 a year. Even if you had two jobs that is less than $22,000 a year. How in the world is someone supposed to live on that? Yeah and Wal-Mart can't afford to pay $3.00 more an hour, give me a break.

The NRA.
How in the world does limiting world wide ILLEGAL trade of small arms affect your right to private ownership? The NRA in the modern version of the Tabacco Industry.

MySpace.
So MySpace is putting in protection for those under 18. Problem. Hey MySpace, you don't have any form of age verification . . . so Malach who is 34 could create an account stating he is 14, or Malach's daughter who is 3 could create one saying she is 18. Any been to MySpace recently? What a advertising machine this has become. Every new movie, every new product, every retail story has it's own MySpace. Can you blame them? Malach get 1000+ links per day from Myspace.

This is also Interesting.
Disappearing suburbs and middle class. Why not look at the increase in prices of things. Take housing. In 1978 my parents paid $40,000 for their 4 bedroom home. They could now sell it for $400,000. That is a 1000% percent increase. Minimum wage in 1978? $2.65 and hour, now $5.15. That is not even a 50% increase. Want to see something lese interesting, check out this chart. It shows what 1978 minimum wage meant in value as compared to 2006. It is kind of scary.

The Mood Of Red Sox Nation.
6 in row, the Rooks are Pitching well, Lester, Papelbon, Hansen. Bring on more of these joke National League Teams. Pedro's coming back next week!

Malach's Quote of the Day!
Save your money, Tucker. This place doesn't have porn; they think it's immoral. You know, that really grinds my gears. Where exactly in the Bible does it say a man can't fire off some knuckle-children in the privacy of his own neighbor's living room while his neighbor's at work because I don't have a DVD player? Well, I don't know where it says it because the Bible is way too long to read! - Peter Lowenbreau Griffin

I am Malach and this little light of joy, I'm gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, all the time.
