Final Atomic Buster!: India →
vincepmartin:
A do-gooder / traveler / teacher friend of mine wants me to go to India with her to help teach an elementary robotics course. I assume that most of the programming in this course would be based on some type of bastardized BASIC language. From my years of line and Q-BASIC I am quite good at this :)
I’m glad to see this post. Two comments. First, if you go to India your views...

Right-Wing Indian Protesters Storm Home of...
In India, as many 100 right-wing protesters from the BJP party stormed the home of the writer Arundhati Roy on Sunday to condemn her calls for Kashmir independence. The protesters broke onto the grounds of her home and vandalized property. Roy, who was not home at the time, condemned the protesters as well as the local media, which filmed the attack on her home. She accused some Indian TV...

lonely
This is the first time in my life I can recall being alone and actually being lonely.

Wikileaks leaks secrets corporate and government documents from all over the world. They are possibly becoming the single most powerful force of democracy around today. For that reason people do not like them, people want wikileaks and its key members gone (as if that would ‘plug the leak’ (god aren’t these people so stuck in their modernist ways)).
A while back wikileaks...

4chan (oh how amazing you are) launched a DDoS attach on the company that was hired to do the same to ThePirateBay. 4chan then moved on to the MPAA and RIAA sites knocking them offline.

Hackers (Film)
This film is great. A 1995 movie about hackers. I highly recommend it for a lot of reasons. Also, it is the only time i have found Angelina Jolie to be attractive.
Great Perspective on Amazon
For the past five or six years I have been an avid Amazon shopper. Over time I wondered and looked into how Amazon works and found that it is complicated and somewhat difficult to understand the full scope of their operation. the following is a blog post by a small niche fountain pen/ink/paper retailer/reviewer who was asked by amazon to set up and amazon store. He overs a...

Wikipedia on Elvis and Nixon
On December 21, 1970, Presley engineered a bizarre meeting with President Richard Nixon at the White House, where he expressed his patriotism and his contempt for the hippie drug culture. He asked Nixon for a Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs badge, to add to similar items he had begun collecting and to signify official sanction of his patriotic efforts. Nixon, who apparently found the...

Modernism in American Media
Working on css3 menus has driven my mind to wonder about the undying mindset in the country i just applied for a passport renewal in.
The media (news sources, television programs, movies… etc) make reference to the government, the free market, americans, corporations (individual or the idea) and many other entities comprised of many people. The way these terms are used is incorrect, there...

“…we can’t tolerate employers knowingly hiring illegal immigrants. We...”
– There seems to be a disconnect Bill Haslam’s mind (a key republican running for governor of Tennessee). Employers aught not hire illegal immigrants (a phrase i’m growing to dislike more and more) so instead of penalizing employers for hiring illegal immigrants, he wants to impose upon...
