stampeding zombies into work...
Musings on the age of the buffalo.
The zombie stampede.
OK, so Genghis Khan used to drive the local peasants into the next village; he made most of his invasion force out of the last place he'd been.
Naturally. So this is the now the age of the buffalo instead. Peasants aren't allowed education, travel or weapons.
Today they are... and it doesn't do them any good. It's self-indulgence rules instead of work. Politics.
Not that many of grunts actually ever…

winter 2013
January. 2013.
Oh my stars and garters, winter is in full force out there, and it isn’t happy with trying to kill you anymore. Now there's booby-traps, too. NASTY ones.
Black ice, hidden snow-dusted wet ice, freezing rain, salt ball bearings everywhere, deep puffy snow that'll eat your dog entirely (Have YOU fallen off the path recently?), rough ice-paths designed to kill and maim you, and drivers not real familiar with high snowbanks that hide oncoming traffic. Especially the…

Subject: internet freedom day
freedom, yes.
AFTER the ISPs stop censoring content (gay chats, AOL e-mail)
"" the feds stop oppressing politics (tamil.com)
"" manufacturers get rid of region 1 nonsense (DVDs)
and so forth. Big bro is a gov't contract, so mi-li witch hunts are
the order of the day, NOT anything useful.
Not porn, gambling, scams, zombie-bot invasions or retail sales.

confessions of an eco-terrorist
Confessions of a serial Eco-terrorist.
Yah, I'm an Eco-terrorist.
I plant flowers. (oh, the humanity.)
I'm good at it. To give you an example, I had a job when I was fifteen. It was cutting down trees and bush in Winnipeg. (Look around the area sometime. I did a good job. True story, too.)
What I really got done that time was cutting a path to a secluded (totally isolated) meadow in a city park instead of what I was supposed to be doing. The path I cut thru the…

1/1000 dilution (money)
Blog: June 17th father's day, Iceland dependance day.
It's a process of elimination, life is. For example. Not everyone uses computers. Say, 50% of one thousand do. 500 left.
Of the ones that do, not everyone uses windows. Say, 50%. (Industry, universities, governments, military, etc, all don't.) 250 left. Of the ones that use Windows, at one point 4/5 of them were using illegal copies. 50. Out of the five left, 4/5 of them can barely use a mouse to…

Groundhog day, 2012. notes from the ' region 1 censorship zone.'

A 70$ payment to someone on a paypal account I don't have. (email notice of.)
Wow. The corps are getting interesting. They decide you're guilty and charge you for it, even if they have to give you a bank account to run into the red.

death by tipping, 2012
Welcome 2012.
Last year's music (for me) was 'cities on fire' (Blue oyster cult) mixed with “crown of creation' - (Jefferson airplane.)
This year? I hope to see BB die of his own ineptness. Of tips, to be more precise.
Welcome to the morgue, people. (No tipping allowed.)
The life of a priest's company... newborn, the newly (or nearly) dead and development stages in between. Development? Ha! Like these things every happen. Sex, for instance....
