Interesting Things

• @yolee, @jenaelee and I just enjoyed the first episode of this season’s The Office. What fun! Now I need to get them hooked on Heroes… #
• @jenaelee nah, thanks though. I’m not real keen on those. Only good with jalepeño cheddar dip, and only mediocre at that. #
• What do you think about my last blog post that was tweeted? #
• Could I ask you a favor? Would you pls sign Jenaé’s blog comments so she might have a chance for the golden ticket? http://twurl.nl/vhqnjv #
• Wow, these dolphins are indeed amazing. The intelligence involved in the manipulations is unbelievable! http://twurl.nl/xu3d4p #
• Perhaps a bit of humor mixed w/ some real life observations are what makes this !vegan post funny: http://twurl.nl/zyqks4 Extremism != good. #
• MAN… to think that @jenaelee, @jcruzer and I were here around Middleton working just a matter of weeks ago… http://twurl.nl/ogq5mo #

Perhaps we should take another route.

I believe that this money, perhaps a little more, should be divided up between all indebted (perhaps more) households in the United States and thus given back to the people so as to allow the amelioration of financial bondage to occur.  If the government empowers families to pay off their homes, their loans, their credit cards, and other debt, which will SIMULTANEOUSLY GIVE BACK to the financial institutions we will see a much happier and freer society with the side effect of assisting the financial institutions somewhat.

It may also be simultaneously considered that this be used to free folks from current IRS debt as well. The effect will be a stimulation of people’s personal finances, an assistance of small business owners that will in turn drive our economy much further ahead and raise general happiness and satisfaction amongst the ranks.

Wow, now that is a solution that will have immediate tangible benefits.

• Short nap & chased the children around a bit. The two youngest discovered the joys of dirt in our decorative trees @ the front door. #
• Hope the Citi acquisition of Wachovia helps them out of the hole. I have some a family member rather worried atm re Wachovia’s dilemma. #
• You know, would be interesting to see the $700B ÷ U.S. households given to each household. Might stimulate things more than the current plan #
• Sounds like New Zealand was shaken by a quake. What kind of damage has gone on and are folks okay? #

• The enmity between the candidates this past debate really disturbed me. Obama’s “I have a band too” indicated “spoiled child” syndrome. #
• @jenaelee you’re right. Neither of these candidates are capable debaters. We need leaders who are measured and “actionary” vs. reactionary. #
• Enjoyed priesthood lesson today. Had good meetings at church overall. Testimony meeting was also enjoyable. #
• Whoa. Fiery & NOT representative of how I’d approach it! Someone sent this to me & thought it might raise an eyebrow: http://twurl.nl/zx7tz0 #

• Bleh. What poor election choices. #
• I certainly wish Reagan were back or we had someone that was a strong figure head for the nation & possessed the grit to make a difference. #
• @rotkapchen that’s interesting re graphite. I did not realize its poor properties therein. /me misses chemistry & physics. #
• @usermac re honor, hmm. I did not enjoy the negativity on either candidate’s part. Was more abt blasting each other than solving issues. #
• @hamlesh I was really pleased at how clean the FBSD + ZFS + Netatalk install was. Always preferred FBSD to Linux (15+ yrs *nix). #
• @rotkapchen yes, unfortunately this is true re the US. #
• Looks like @yolee, @jenaelee and I are going dancing tonight. Hope to have a fun time. #
• Nervous. Haven’t danced in years. #
• Sorry, let me amend that: Haven’t danced *publicly* in years. #

• @jenaelee for sure! I hope the droves of ppl in larger metropolitan areas never discover this paradisiacal “undiscovered country.” #
• @jessicahagy wow, what luck!… ? Not sure whether to celebrate or morn your predicament. #
• @jenaelee tks so much for the help on the video all day for our big project. So exciting to be receiving such + accolades for it already!!! #
• Going to be a hectic day again. Can already feel it. I certainly hope some communiques that are outstanding find their end points today… #

• Seems too true “Never be a student. Always be a expert because no one will ask to student.” -Papindera But we should **all** be students. #
• @hamlesh but you may want to wait for .7 of FreeNAS due to the landing of FBSD 7 + ZFS. That is the cat’s meow (running FBSD + ZFS myself). #

• What a day. Very hectic, but getting a lot of "top secret" stuff done. Thus my silence. 2 yr old son found a 4 leaf clover & mom 2! #
• Just changed my nickname to "ylluminate." Curious, how would you pronounce it? #
• @jenaelee is rofl’ing as I roll around in my chair on our large office hardwood floor with my MacBook Pro to the beat of ASOT 370. #
• Hammering out some old items that need wrapped up soon: 2 XenServer + vm automated backups and an outstanding SilverStripe project. #
• @usermac I’m curious as to what prompted your archive.org comment as I’m wondering if it could be a replacement for photo and video apps? #
• Wow, so looks like Twitter just migrated some servers around on their cluster and b0rked something briefly. #
• Note to self: web development priorities for folks in our region: 1) Fast, 2) "Cost effective" (read: cheap) and 3) Quality (eh, maybe)… #
• Wow, certainly thought the news on Israel asking US for green light to bomb Iran & Bush rejecting it was interesting. http://twurl.nl/55lmv3 #
