  • New verb: Dyslex

    Dyslex, v.t. [imp., p.p. dyslexed] 1. The act of reversing the correct order of characters in a sequence, as when typing a word with letters reversed or recalling a number from memory with digits reversed. “Sorry, I dyslexed the phone number! That should be 482-3751 not 482-3715.”

  • MSM deceiving about war between China and US

    I know for a fact that mainstream media in the United States engages in intense and highly effective control over information. I also now suspect that what is really happening right now on the global stage is also massively being distorted and mis-reported by the MSM. Here is what I think is happening: 1. The…

  • Amazing deal on good-quality softbox

    Yesterday my shipment from Hong Kong arrived of a $39.32 60x90cm softbox which is very good quality and included a speedring mount for my swiss-made strobe light. I had been looking at different softboxes available and the one I had been thinking about getting previously was over $300. The savings on getting the one I…

  • Using a tablet computer as a sketchpad

    Inspired by the anime of Yoshitoshi Abe I found a couple videos online of him sketching on a tablet. I wish I could devote myself to painting and drawing. Its so inspiring to see the creations artists make purely from the concepts of their imaginations. It is complete freedom. I decided to check into sketching…

  • Interesting soup container made from bamboo

    Watching this anime series and the main character, Rakka, receives pea soup from the man at a restaurant in a container made from a segment of bamboo. I wonder if such containers actually exist or if it is merely a creation of the artists for this scene?  It seems like there would need to be…

  • The revolution that was abadoned and betrayed

    Saudi Arabia receives substantial military and economic support from the United States and it used its army to crush the popular revolution in Bahrain in what amounts to a great atrocity. How can the United States claim to support freedom when it abandoned the people of Bahrain in their hour of need and left them…

  • Vote-value disparity and democracy

    Courts in Japan have ruled a national election invalid because of vote-value disparity. Vote-value disparity is when the vote of one citizen in one place has a different weight than a vote of a citizen in another place. It is difficult to have absolutely no disparity at all, but beyond a certain level it is…

  • Import Pictures Hassle-Free in Windows 8

    Windows 8 now uses the yucky “Photos” app to handle importing photos from digital cameras which to me is a significant regression from the photo import utility of previous versions. Because I like many users have bypassed the new Windows interface by using Classic Shell, its also an annoyance when that interface comes up and…

  • Longing for Linux to become mainstream

    How I really long for Linux to become a mainstream desktop OS! Linux offers so, so much more to users in terms of basically everything. It can be extremely simple and reliable for more novice users to extremely advanced and customizable for more hard core users. Linux has never been plagued with the security nightmares…

  • Strip-mall policies of American government

    America is being taken in the wrong direction, in the direction of the strip-mall, by its present leaders. America should not go in the direction of the strip-mall. It is the wrong direction. When it allows 20 million highly uneducated people to pour into the country for the sake of cheap labor and greasing the…
