Assault Weapons Ban Comming

Its official now that Obama/Biden plan to make the assault weapons ban permanent. This could be a very bad thing, especially since most of the weapons included in the ban are no different than any other semi-autmatic weapon.

Heres an interesting video which clearly shows the difference and the source of the confusions.

My Ion Drum Rocker

After my great hassle with inmusic, I decided to cancel the order. I then ordered from another online retailer. Just after I placed the 2nd order, I noticed that Best Buy in Sandy had it listed in stock. I called them sunday and they had 6 still :)

Here are some pictures of my current setup.

Amazing Coincidences in Crop Circles

I came across these two videos from http://www.cropcircleship.com/.

They show several different crop circles which all seem to be different views/angles of a larger design very much like a blue print.

I want to be clear here, I am not making any decisions as to where these crop circles came from. But the similarities between these crop circles are undeniable.

It would be absolutely amazing if this turned out to be a design for an actual working device. My opinion based on these designs (ignoring the conclusions made in the video) is that it details an energy producing device of some kind. These crop circles could be made by an organization of men that were hired/told what to make. This technology could easily be human in origin.

How to Hire & Manage a Hacker

I came across this FAQ on the web about hiring a hacker. It is written by a hacker and it gives a very accurate depection of how a hacker works and thinks.

I think I need to send this link to any managers I start working with in the future :)

Thiaoouba Prophecy

I came across this interesting book that describes lots of 'history' of our planet going back several million years. This is a fairly long book and took me a few days to read.

You can find the book online here:
http://books.google.com/books?id=MCuM5KQifAEC&dq=thiaoouba+prophecy&pg=PP1&ots=fTQUQPYTEP&sig=lzwkUwpG6YX41EjlqyAumgy1Emk&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result

In the end, I can pretty much label this as a complete fabrication. There is very little detail put into any of the technology or physics concepts which could validate this story. There is however an abundance of personal bias clearly addded to the story, things the author thinks are important but really arent.

There are several concepts in this book that are very interesting and I have come across them myself in my own thoughts recently. The most interesting of which is 'Can you imagine a world without money?'

I have asked several people this question, and most (like me) at first can not even comprehend a world or society without money. But if you really think about it, you will eventually arrive at a similar understanding of reality as is described in this book. Its very hard to describe what this understanding is and you readers wouldnt understand me anyway unless you actually thought through this scenario yourself.
