My take on the DC Teaparty September 12

It looks like the second american revolution has already begun. And who would ever think that a million regular folk would do it? How many in the media were aware it was even going to happen? Or if they just ignore it, it will all go away? Well it hasn't and it is going to get much bigger... much.

If one journalist on tv would read the comments of the people on any left/right blue/red blog, they would easily discern that America is waking up fast. The irony is that it is being done through education; self eduction. Education via the Internet. Not the propaganda and the dumbing down they teach at schools. This is the real thing and the kids are being raised with it. This revolution is easily predicted. The precedent was set before. Has not anything been learned by history and in particular the aftermath of the Guttenberg Press?

Then it was the preachers, kings, teachers, and priests of yore, telling folks the history, facts, insights, and rules. Well the TV set is just like them. Now suddenly people are reading for themselves the history, facts, insights, math, energy, opinions and bloggers. This is a revolution and it is happening now. Just like then people are waking up to a new enlightenment. And this enlightenment is very threatening just like in the past.

This enlightenment frightens those in power. Healthcare is just the media scapegoat. Downplay the stand for liberty, freedom, savings, and responsibility and instead try to make it a race, "don't know", class thing. The media is wrong.

For sure, it the health care issue has been a lightening rod for all that is anti-big-government and of course for all those who have no job and no future. Combine lax immigration with an outsourcing of dirty manufacturing jobs and you have a whole large swath of permanent poor. Yet government grew and grew with various agencies to protect and spy on us. To threaten and scare us. To shake us down.

Too big to fail government and too big to fail banks all growing bigger. Well if this does not smack of hubris, I don't know what does. And that always ends badly.

Meanwhile our leadership is absolutely clinically deluded and insane. Our free markets are completely regulated and rigged. And our banks a proven fraudulent ponzi scheme to take our earned wealth. To think this will all pass if we wait long enough is insanity. We need $200Billion a month as a loan when our interest has gone exponential on us.

All the power structures are coming unglued. This is both wonderful, natural and downright scary. There will be another revolution because we are currently in it now! The internet has grown amazingly and historically fast to feed information to almost every mind in this world. Another example of the free unregulated market at its finest.

Through in the movement of the last 20 years towards a communist based system with that of the fiercely growing libertarian movement and you will see some friction.

However, when our children, leaders, neighbors and peers start to read our history it all points to one document. The DNA of our country, the constitution. And that idea, that piece of paper, threatens the powers more than any thing else.

The next three years are going to be historic.

Peace and god bless,

My version of election reform

I thought.

Why don't we rethink voting. Why does it have to be the way it is. It really isn't working anymore. Only those with
the most money win. Well at least about 80% (totally made up number).

Money is one of the main variables in getting elected. Who has the money? Well it has been systematically taken
from the middle and lower classes and funneled to the top. This is something I have railing about for some time.
The money is then showered upon a chosen candidate, thus assuring future control.

But how does one reform voting without reducing the impact of money? All the usual methods go against free
speech. But, that doesn't mean we can't change the definition of winning an election? There is nothing in our
constitution that says the one with the highest number of votes win. So instead of staying in this election box
we have just stepped out of it.

Why don't we just divide the number of votes by the amount of money spent? This would make things very interesting,
very democratic, and would lead to some great opportunities for the electorate.

Thoughts?

iPhone Development

I am now a certified iPhone expert. I just completed my second iPhone application which you can find on the iPhone store. It is called What'sFresh. I am now working on a very cool app. But, you will have to wait as I am under an NDA until release.

Stay tuned for more info and... if you have any need for an iPhone application. Run don't walk and send me a request.

The Obama Jubilee

It has been awhile since I have written. I decided to seek solace from the ruination of our great country from the elites who in my lifetime have killed Kennedys, started wars, engineered 9/11 and now finally their coup-de-grace of the Greater Depression.

Well one thing these evil son-of-a-bitched didn't see was the Internet. And God truly has his markings over that. Pure liberty as an example of greatness. It also dispels the notion of anarchy but that would be time for another one of my ramblings. Instead I will concentrate on the great wisdom of the Chinese.

Crisis==Opportunities

So I am seizing this moment to offer the only solution to our great financial crisis that is affecting us all. And that would be the:


The Obama Jubilee !!!

A complete forgiveness of all debts. All. Now. Immediately. We aren't talking about hollow hope, we aren't talking about changes of retread tires. We are talking big, biblical, and heroic.

Next, we eliminate usury, the Fed, Fractional Reserve lending and fiat currencies. We tell the bankers, insurance men, and the elite to go .... themselves.

Done, prosperity for all. Real ownership of land. And a very bright blessed future.

I see no other way.

Well actually I do. I see real evil, followed by war and death in myriad forms. One would be the blessed path of God while the other of Satan.

I pray now for the Obama Jubilee.

We Launched!

Well it is now official. We launched a new online publication. Yawn you say? Well how about this? We also sold ad space for three months! Now that makes us official.

At ExhibitorsDaily.com we are judiciously incorporating elements of open-source software with some cherry-picked, commercial offerings. It all needed to be compatible with our Mac OS X platform of servers and laptops. Basically a MAMP stack. Macintosh, Apache, mySQL and PHP. Or, maybe I should have said WoMAMP and throw my support in for WebObjects. It really is a nice environment and one which I believe to be competitive advantage.

This advantage is key. It allows for us to be able to choose the proper tool for the job within its Internet context. Is the application or website all just the usual? Or is it to be a completely custom and scalable subscription application? Well with the above toolsets developed and deployed on OS X, well, let's just say, your IT department will be small, mean, lean and efficient.

Back to ExhibitorsDaily.com. For the underlying CMS we decided on Joomla 1.5. It's new architecture looked well thought out and we already had experience with Joomla1.0. We knew this would limit the components we could add as it is a brand new release and breaks the majority of third party components. But we didn't need many, and the ones we did were either available or in beta.

An example of a nice clean component we found was the Mosets directory component.

Next it was on to advertising. Advertising and the managing of it is very important. After doing a bit of research we finally stumbled upon OpenX. This was great open source ad server. Open X has a steep learning curve due to its byzantine user interface. But once you start learning to think like the developers, it still only sort of makes sense. Anyway, it is powerful, complete, and a darn professional application. It offers full control and reporting of all your web ads.

Now I needed to integrate this OpenX with Joomla 1.5. I found the glue in a module and plugin called Jumi. Jumi is nifty as it allows you to run any arbitrary code in Joomla. This allowed us unlimited zones and reporting for our advertisers. This is a service our advertisers love.

Well next on our plate is the redesign with a more subdued look. Once that migration is complete we will be able to provide our viewers and advertisers more content and opportunities. Well, that is the theory at least. Stay tuned as we move forward as I still have a lot of features and services to unveil to our community in the coming months.

Money in America

With all the craziness of the markets and with the Fed and EC pumping literally trillions of dollars or euros or pounds into the system it is time to review what money is again and how our country is so ignorant of money.

Well to help you understand I direct you to this fine essay, "At the mercy of the debt merchants." Also remember to vote for Ron Paul if you get the least bit annoyed after reading that essay.

The Babylometer

The cause of all anxiety in modern society.

As some of you may or may not know, I usually go to the National Rainbow Gathering of the Children of the Light, commonly reffered to as the Rainbow Gathering, or for those in the light, The Gathering. As usual I learn something at each gathering that strikes me profound and this year was no exception.

Held in the beautiful Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, this year's general theme was rain. It rained and it rained until finally one day it poured. A dry creek turned into a raging stream overnight. Clay trails turned to mud that became hungry for a loose sandal. 

This year I was sitting under some tarp out of the rain and listening to a brother when he mentioned the word "babylometer" in one of his remarks. I never heard the term before so I inquired.

What's a babylometer?

What is a Babylometer you ask? Before I quickly answer let me give you a bit of the etymology of the word via the oral tradition of the Rainbow family.

When you are inside the Gathering, which is held deep in a national forest, you are cut off from cell signals, electricity, bathrooms... in other words, completely cut off from the grid. Uniquely enough, there is no money exchanged at the gathering. It is all out of love. So for one week you live this ideal where all food is miraculously provided while everyone works together to cook, cut, play, teach, poop, clean, learn, and grow. And to share pure spiritual love with each other while praying for peace and enlightenment.

Occassionaly there is a need to go "outside" the gathering into "babylon" to get some supplies. Hence the term bablyon. When applied with the word chronometer we come up with a word for babylon's clock, the "babylometer".

And you thought I was kidding when I said profound!

The babylometer is the beginning of machine consciouness manifesting itself through human endeavor. Before the babylometer man was ruled by the rhythms of God and nature. 

These rhythms are much more analog, never perfect, always ebbing and flowing. The babylometer, on the other hand is precise, never ending, incessent, pounding, demanding obedience, and tireless. 

From this simple device the machine was born. Everything we do today obeys this babylometer. It is even the cause of the speed of light to be limited. It is the one device to rule above all other and that includes man. And we are so eager to accept its mastery over us. 

Could the babylometer be the cause of western pychosis? Why is everyone depressed? Why do we need and sell some many anti-depressents, sleep aids, power aids? Could it be that our anxiety stems from the incessent ticking of the clock? Its ticking, nicking, clawing, chiming, buzzing and blaring sounds are the cries of our soul as its gets worn down by the gears of this machine.

Everyday at 9, 8, 6, in an hour, when?, how long? race the clock, faster, no time to rest, it is Monday, it is 8, it is bus, it is car, it is time, tick, time, tock..... 

It never ends!

What is a human to do? 

Could we actually live in a world without a babylometer? Live by the rhythms of light, temperature, age, family, and relationships?

I don't know, but let's meet at dark thirty to get consensus on it.
