Free Speech in trouble?

I saw a disturbing video about a smart grad student who was arrested in NYC for using a chalk spraying bicyle that painted messaages submitted from a website.

Please view the video and then go view the comments. One is from a “cop” and he makes the point that chalk or paint it’s all vandalism. I disagree but I am sure that this officer is correct to some extent.

Heating problem solved

Yesterday we ran out of propane and that’s why our house was only 52 degrees in the morning… fuck that was cold.

I went home at noon to see if the tank was filled and it was but the house was still cold, so I tried to get the furnace to kick on but it wouldn’t so I called some heating guys and they said to check to see if the propane people shut off my tank. Sure enough, they did and then everything was good. Well not really, I was upset about this but what could I do.

I am not happy that my propane supplier said they aren’t filling tanks since it’s so warm, well obviously they need to keep our tank filled or I will have to monitor it myself, that sucked to go without heat. What if it was colder than it was that would have really sucked.

Also, I didn’t notice until it was too late but the propane guy wrote a note that said he shut off the tank due to liability issues, well I wish I had seen that sooner. Oh well.

Mac problems

Today my computer was not working properly. I am a Mac/PC user but prefer Mac over PC. However today I was very mad at my Mac, and my PC just sat there working all day and I didn’t restart it once. My Mac was randomly shutting down every few minutes. I spent about two hours on the phone with technical support. I am currently waiting for my Mac to finish a diagnostic test to see if that finds anything.

I am betting that it is a software issue and I will have to reinstall everything. The problem is I have a lot of stuff and to transfer all my files off of this beast will be a big project. I don’t feel like doing that, but I guess that’s what I will have to do.

I am sure no one who reads this blog will care but I am sure maybe someday someone would care to read this if they have the same exact problem.

Here are the specifics: I have a IMac G5 with Mac OS X 10.4.9

I came to work today noticed that the computer had been restarted. I usually leave it on all the time, that may be the problem I am having but you should be able to do that.

I was using Safari and Itunes and downloading a missed episode of 24 and bam, the thing just restarts. That sucked, at first I was like what the fuck, but then it became a problem. So I called technical support and that got me nowhere but they were nice to me and at first I thought I had my problem solved it quit doing the random shutdown for about a half an hour. Now it’s back to periodicly just shutting down whenver. I think the reason it restarts is because I have auto restart after power failure selected. I will change that and see what happens.

I am befudled.. not sure if that’s a word but I am perplexed and saddened by this. I did have other things to do today and I did get some of that accomplished but this did put a wrench in my plans for sure, oh well.

PJ and Kings of Leon

A very awesome video with my new favorite band and my all-time favorite – PJ!

Brrrrrrrrr

That is what I said this morning as I hopped out of bed. Our house was a chilly 52 degrees. I guess our propane tank was empty. I figured that was the problem last night, but was I going to do about it. So, this morning I went to check and sure enough I was right. I just hope that the guy comes today and we have heat tonight or I will be pissed. I am sure he will come but to make sure I will go home at noon and check on it.

I know it’s spring but it’s still cold here, so to be without heat is not fun and to top it off our daughter was just getting over a cold and the poor little thing was probably shivering last night… It makes me sad.

So maybe tonight we will have heat. How sad huh?

Youtube

I have started posting to Youtube.com and so far I really only have one video on there. It shows more than one, but there is only one that sound throughout the entire video and is of any content substance.

I plan to add more, but who is going to watch this, actually who knows thats what’s cool about Youtube, I already know my audience for this blog, me and a couple people.. Hi People, hope you enjoy reading this.

Anyway, I am trying to think of something to say, but I am not very creative today.

Search with K Fed

Okay, this has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever seen.

You can search the internet with Kevin Federline’s search engine and win prizes. If you want to do this, go here. I shouldn’t be promoting this but I had to put the link on this post so you can believe me and not think I am joking.

I am sadly going to try to win stuff from this website. The actual search engine is Yahoo.com since K Fed is not smart enough to create his own special algorhythmn to search for things.

If I win I will put the item for sale on ebay. I might get a dollar for it.

I guess what more can you say about this besides it being so stupid that it hurts.

My first You Tube video

Okay, warning this is lame, but I am giving my shot at using You Tube to publish in a new way.

It’s a short video clip with my tribute to the podcaster that I love most, Zefrank, the former host of “the Show” with Zefrank. I am already feeling withdrawl, thank God for Rocketboom.
