Go Vote Today

If you want to have the pleasure to bitch about your government, then go vote today. If you don’t vote, then don’t bitch about it.

7 years ago today…

I was at work. First I heard about the terrorist attack was when one of the admins came into my office and said that the US was under attack and that a war had started. I found that hard to believe at first, but then when I tried to get onto the internet, no sites would come up. My belief went up.

The world did not end today

Filed Under Musings, WTF | Leave a Comment

Contrary to the predictions of some, the world did not end today when the Large Hadron Collider came online. Some sued. Some partied. Most of us just went about our daily lives without a care of what could have been the last day of our lives.

But it does make me wonder. What if? What if the collision of the hadron particles caused a black hole that grew beyond what was predicted. What if they did prove the existences of extra dimensions, and those that lived there did not like us intruding?

Back in the 1940’s they said the same thing of splitting the atom. It would cause the end of the world. Exploding an A-Bomb would cause the atmosphere to catch on fire. None of that happened. We are still all here.

However, there may come a day when science does do something that it should not do.

What if?

As you go about your day, think of other ways that you can make someone happy.

SPAM in my inbox

As part of what I do, I have my own server where I hosts internet sites. One of my tasks is to make my custoerms email as spam free as possible. On any given day, my servers block from 3000 to 4000 spam messages. Every once in a while, a few get through to my account. One today just made me laugh…

Now my question is. What are the requirements you must have for making up this shit?

Stick a fork in it, it’s done.

There is a point in time when you should know when to quit, and I think that the Clintons should just bow out gracefully. I’ve been watching this whole democratic primary process with some interest. Granted, I did not vote in the Michigan primary, since we were told that it would not count. And watching the Democratic rules committee yesterday, I guess we did count. Rather a weird count, but it did. With that said, it’s interesting to hear how the Clintons are spinning this one. Florida was OK. They got pretty much what they wanted. Michigan, they lost 4 delegates then what they were asking. That’s 4. Yet, you would think that there was a revolution going on yesterday at the rules committee. I honestly think that some Democrats after that fiasco will instead vote Republican.

Anyway, enough opining. You should know when you lost, and bow out gracefully. Yet, the Clintons are starting to look like sore losers.

My 2 cents.
