This list starts off strong, but then ends in a wimper. The original site has 6 things on the list, the other 3 items are bottled water, printer ink and name brand fashion. Sorry, but to me, having “name brand fashion” on the list is lame. Greeting cards are kind of iffy to me, but I’ll agree with the rest of the items on the list. What would you add to this list? I’ll add electricity as an overpriced item. [...]
Photo by: tamburix on Flickr For the record, I don’t agree with what these guys are doing. I don’t believe in burning any kind of books. I think that it’s great that these guys aren’t backing down. It’s their first amendment right to express themselves in this fashion, so more power to them. They are constitutionally protected in doing so. Guess who else is constitutionally protected for wanting to build something or another near some other place? Amplify’d from www.msnbc.msn.com [...]
This is just wrong. Yet another civil liberty we’re losing Amplify’d from carlosmiller.com The general rule in the United States is that anyone may take photographs of whatever they want when they are in a public place or places where they have permission to take photographs. Absent a specific legal prohibition such as a statute or ordinance, you are legally entitled to take photographs. Examples of places that are traditionally considered public are streets, sidewalks, and public parks.(more). Read more [...]
Let me get this out of the way: Yes, this report comes from Al Jazeera, deal with it. I wanted to get that out of the way in case someone thinks that the source of the video is supposed to mean something. It doesn’t. It’s a good report on something that I think is relevant. What about the Chinese in Dakar? The video looks at the effect that a large influx of Chinese immigrants is having on Dakar, Senegal. The [...]
High school football is big in Texas. How big? How about getting a helicopter to deliver the game ball to an opening home game? Everything is bigger Texas. Amplify’d from www.txsportscast.com See more at www.txsportscast.com See this Amp at http://bit.ly/9Q13wo
Photo by faithx5 on Flickr Here’s the money quote in this article: “You can’t really hate and get away with it in New Mexico,” said Antonio Maestas, a Democratic state representative from Albuquerque. “That’s why it was shocking when she got away with it in the primary.” You shouldn’t be able to get away with hate anywhere. You shouldn’t be a demagogue. You should clearly state your intentions when you want to get elected into office. I like that she [...]
Photo by: engineroomblog on Flickr I like how this article addresses this issue. At times, I struggle with the idea of whether I’m a “journalist” or not. It used to be, that only people that were published in a magazine, or a newspaper were “real” journalists. The rest of us were just “wannabees” or “not good enough to get a job writing for the paper” or the second rung plain and simple “bloggers.” Bottom line, I keep a “journal” which [...]
Photo by: bobster855 on Flickr I love this article. I have to admit, every time I link to, or say something nice about an Alex Jones article or site, I always feel like my name is getting added to a watch list somewhere. I love the part where the author says: the return of the Neo-con faction is in an all out assault against the foundations of our country, the two things which make the United States of America unique [...]
I’m sorry, but I posit that this kid had brain damage before he performed this little stunt. Seriously, how stupid do you have to be to even think of doing something like this? I’d like to know where the teacher was when this little stunt happened, but I don’t think anyone needs to be sued over this. It doesn’t say if the kids plugged the cord into an electrical socket, but I imagine that that’s what they did. Seems like [...]
I can attest that it’s important to have a pen with you when you go on a photo shoot. I think that you can also add a tablet of some kind so you can make notes. I wish I had a nice rig like this, and eventually I will. This past weekend I went on a photo shoot to a football game and packed just about everything that they outline in this article. Amplify’d from www.digital-photography-school.com You know I write [...]
