I read a couple things this morning that fall under the title of "When All Else Fails" coming from different points of view.
The first pertains to the murder capital of the United States of America, Detroit. If you call the police in Detroit and report that you are about to be murdered, it will take 24 minutes on average for the police to arrive to save you. Plan A - Call the Police - sucks ass so the good people of Detroit have come up with a plan B.
Justifiable homicides rose by 79% in 2011 compared to 2010.
You know what they say, if you want something done right . . .
Amen.
In what I'm sure is not his first case of ass-hattery, former Detroit police chief Ike McKinnon had this to say:
"We don't want that to occur," McKinnon explained. "We want our police to stop the crime. We don't want the citizens to stop the crime."
I'm trying to think of a smartass comment to this but even the voices are struck speechless by the this comment spoken by a guy who, if this comment is representative of McKinnon's general thought patterns, is a complete and total fucktard.
"Look, here's the thing, we aren't going to protect you anymore but we don't want you to protect yourselves either. Mittler Romney said that if you wear magic underwear and pray, gawd will keep you safe."
Has gawd ever been to Detroit?
Yeah, but he was packin'.
Okay, being that Ike made it to chief of police in Detroit, he's probably a Democrat but I'm looking for some kind of rationale for telling people not to defend themselves.
Idiocy.
That's my vote.
When all else fails, protect yourself.
The second story is spawned by Lamar Smith, a Republican Representative from Texas, who is running for the office of anti-christ. Smith is the guy that brought us the wonderful SOPA bill. He has decided to table that for now because it wasn't well received. In its place, Smith is hoping to pass The Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act.
The bill will require to Internet service providers to store your browsing history, home address, any credit card information you use online, purchase history, and the size of your Johnson. This will apply to everyone who accesses the Internet, regardless of whether or not you are a suspect in a crime involving child pornography, just in case . . .
People involved with child porn are scum, no doubt, but you just know that a bill this sweeping isn't designed to catch perverts. It's Big Brother and another step toward thought police.
Order a Ron Paul bumper sticker and a drone will be dispatched to blow up your house.
Speaking of which, here are some more indicators from the FBI that you might be a terrorist:
You pay cash at an Internet cafe
You hide your computer screen from people
You read news stories about terrorism
You look up information on the government or police agencies
You pay cash for a tattoo
You purchase hydrogen peroxide
You pay cash to play paintball
You study martial arts with no occupational need for the knowledge
You purchase a firearm or ammunition when it's not hunting season
You use self defense against a would be murderer in Detroit
As I've said before, the word "Terrorist" has lost all relevance in the context that most people think of as a terrorist. Now, it has just become a word that means you are doing something that the government hasn't sanctioned as an acceptable action by a docile populace.
In a rare occurrence, I have managed to finish the primary homework assignments for the week. For the record, it is always my goal to complete everything except the minor follow-up tasks by Thursday afternoon but it has been a rare occurrence when this has happened in the last 6 months or so. Too often, homework has carried over to Friday or Saturday and even into Sunday, which is the usual due date at 11pm.
I'm going to take advantage of this week's oddity to get a jump on next week's work, which includes tossing out the Homework Help question of the week:
Will brick and mortar shopping disappear? Why or why not?
I'm actually not going to ask you to answer this question unless your answer is a resounding "Yes!" If that's the case, I would love to hear your answer.
Instead, I'll answer this one and ask a question of my own that is a variation of the given question because (1) this one seems too simple and (2), as has been pointed out previously, I'm not the kind of person that just accepts what's given.
My answer:
No, and here are a couple of reasons (feel free to add your own). First, there are some things that have to be experienced before purchasing. Clothing seems the obvious choice to me, especially shoes. Sure, companies have increasingly generous return policies but it's much simpler to just go to a shoe store and try them all on right then and there and walk out with the pair that feels right. Websites can have virtual models with your measurements but even if they make them into 3D images or holograms, it won't tell you what it feels like. Cars would be another choice that I would throw out there. Test driving seems mandatory.
Let me amend my intitial answer by adding an "at least not in the near future" behind the "no". This is a class centered on the Internet taken by students who are attending via the Internet. It could be very easy to jump to the assumption that everyone has access to the Internet and a way to make payments over the Internet. However, this is obviously not the case and it may be sometime until everyone has the Internet at their fingertips.
Now it's your turn. Look into your crystal ball and tell me what you see for the future of e-commerce in relation to brick-and-mortar businesses? What is on the horizon? What do you see as highly probable? More interesting to me, what do you see in the realm of incredible but possible?
As you may have noticed, Typepad's new and improved image uploader is change that you can believe in so let's move on to the homework help questions and hope they get the dang thing fixed in the near future (even though I know you all visit for the articles).
First, the basic questions, then I'll ask my own question:
How has the Internet changed the meaning of copyright and intellectual property?
What are the limits to what you can "own" and "sell" online?
Now my question:
What do you envision for the future when it comes to the Internet and copyright? Both from the side of the users as well as from the side seeking protection. If you mention enforcement, what tools do you see being used and how effective will they be?
I am incredibly curious to hear your thoughts on this issue so please take a moment to toss in some feedback.
Damn! I ran smack dab right into a bit of homework that actually had me stumped today and while taking several hours to find the solution, I completely forgot about my blog. It turns out that the reason that I was so stumped was because I was trying to solve the problem using a method that has not been taught to us yet. That does make things a bit more difficult, but . . .
(And I bring this next part up in special consideration to Mrs. Chili, CV Rick, JohnM, and anyone else who happened to post anything today about the incredibly sad state of education in the United States)
I solved the problem by finding the resources to teach myself how to solve the problem in the way that I wanted to solve it. Yeah, that probably added another hour or so onto my homework but the problem was solved much more elegantly and it's information that I will be using again (in fact, as soon as next week).
And, so as to not leave Jewbacca out of today's post since he was kind enough to interrupt my self-teaching time for the incredibly amazing news that a baseball diamond is actually a square that looks like a diamond because of how it is placed in the stadium (although I did not know that it had sides of 90 feet), I offer my solution to his problem:
double hypotenuse (double a, double b) { double c = sqrt ( pow( a, 2.0) + pow ( b, 2.0)); return c; }
int main () { double x = 90.0, y = 10.0; cout << hypotenuse ( x, y); return 0; }
I left out some of the more basic stuff but I'm sure you knew that and can fill them in.
And now, to the point of this blog because I am still not done with homework and it looks like it's going to carry over to tomorrow, which I really try to avoid. Once the weekend arrives, my time becomes very scarce and I get nervous about school stuff going undone and I would hate to see that happen.
Here's a pic of my new, certified green technology, bug zapper, installed on my back porch:
I did a little bit of research on bitcoin this morning before diving into homework. I'm going to attempt to give a brief description here because I have much more homework to do tonight. It's probably going to be difficult to keep it short so we'll see how it goes.
Chili described it as "dorky gamer currency" and there is a bit of truth to that but I'll need to backtrack a bit before getting to that.
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, a computer generated bit of bits that people have voluntarily decided to give value. They have no intrinsic value to them like the US Dollar. Except that in this case, the people using them have decided they have value and this sets them apart from the dollar, which has value because if you don't use it, the IRS or Secret Service will take all your positions, tase you, and throw your ass in jail.
There are other differences as well that are incredibly important.
There is no central bank for bitcoin. Bernanke and Obama can't decide to put out $7 trillion to bail out their buddies at everyone else's expense. In fact, there won't ever be more that 21 million BTC. It's in the open source code.
The lack of a central bank plays another huge role in the grand scheme of things. Somewhere around 2005 or so, e-gold was gaining in popularity. For those that don't follow these things, e-gold allowed people to purchase shares of gold and then use gold-backed, digital money to buy things around the world with other e-gold users. The US government was able to shut e-gold down in 2007 by indicting 3 e-gold execs and ordering them to knock it off. The biggest threat to the US government is not terrorism, it's the creation of an alternate economy, what they lovingly call the "Black Market". The black market is a loss of control by the government, something that cannot be tolerated in the least and must be squashed with a vengeance.
Those of you that have been reading this blog for some time will remember what happened to a place called Liberty Dollar. They made collector's coins out of silver and gold and people started using them as a barter system. The government shut Liberty Dollar down and took all their gold and silver. Again, everything was in a central location run by a few people. An easy target for the power-hungry sociopaths scared someone might take their boot off the people's throat.
Bitcoin doesn't exist physically and doesn't have a central location. It's software, downloaded on countless computers around the world. It can't be raided. It can't be shut down. Napster is to e-gold what BitTorrent is to BitCoin. You can take someone's computer away from them in attempt to stop them but they can just pull another computer out of the closet, download the software, and be off and running again.
Supposedly, there are a couple of US Senators looking at existing laws to see if BitCoin is illegal. Good luck with that. Even if they find a law that makes it illegal for someone to give another person what is essentially gaming scores in exchange for a sandwich, it will be impossible for them to enforce it. If the US government was to be as stupid as Mubarak and shut down the Internet, all that would happen would be instant rioting. Not to mention that their corporate puppet masters depend on the Internet as much as anyone else. Remember when Goldman Sachs was caught doing their massive insider trading deal that makes Martha Stewart look like a petty pick pocket in comparison. They would get the morning's numbers a couple of seconds before the rest of the world and have their supercomputer make a gazillion trades before the market opened. And, obviously, if you found a way to shut down the Internets for everyone but the people paying you millions in bribes, riots again.
That doesn't mean they aren't going to try and I'm going to be watching with interest.
There's much more but I'm going to lightly (very lightly) touch on the "dorky gamer currency" and then get back to my homework, which I was hoping to complete tonight but it's looking unlikely. New bitcoins are created about every ten minutes (out of thin air just like the US dollar with one incredibly massive difference - later). The software creates a puzzle, a proof of work, that must be solved before the bitcoins are created. The person that owns the computer that solves the puzzle gets the new bitcoins (currently set at 50 BTC and after 210,000 BTC are created, the reward will be halved slowing the introduction of new BTC - again, the opposite of the US Dollar). The processing power for solving this puzzle comes from your computer's video card. This is referred to as "mining". It's like panning for gold but it's based on the power of your video card and your ability to keep the video card from overheating and your willingness to pay the electric bill for running 3 ATI 6990's ($740.00 each just to purchase) and to run these bad boys overclocked with fans running on turbo 24/7 (and replace them every year or so when they burn out). Guess who already already had max-GPU sitting in their towers when bitcoin started up?
It has expanded beyond gamers though into a global cryptocurrency that is accepted at brick and mortar retailers and restaurants.
Well, there's more but I'll just finish with the last difference that I mentioned (promise) and do what I'm supposed to be doing. The Fed has deliberately inflated the money (just like bitcoin but with a massive difference - I think I mentioned that) and the effect has been a steady decrease in the value of the dollar, which is seen as increased prices at the grocery store. The US Dollar is worth 4% of its initial value in 1913. The bitcoin, on the other hand, is being inflated and is increasing in value, which means that prices are going down if you buy stuff in BTC. How much? Well, if things keep going like they have been since last July, the bitcoin will have increased in value by about 600,000% by this July.
Okay, I suppose I have to mention one other thing because of that. Bitcoins are virtual and currently can be broken down 8 decimal places. A dollar can be broken down to a penny, a bitcoin can be broken down to a millionth of a BTC, with people already looking ahead to breaking it down further (you have to when prices are going to decrease by a half million percent a year). This means that if you own Grandma's Scrumptious Pie Shop, you can sell memberships to your pie of the month club for 3.14195265 BTC (at least until the deflationary pricing forces you to change it).
So, there you go. Probably much more information than you really wanted to know about the bitcoin but I was (and still am) intrigued and had to check it out.
In addition to amping up the terminal velocity of my Internets connection, I'm finally going to get around to adding the whole wireless thing to the house to make the virtual connection for my wife's laptop, her Kindle, and Trey's Wii (so that I can watch Netflix on the big screen). That should all be happening on Thursday afternoon and I'm hoping that it's fairly quick and painless because with Tia and I taking online college courses, we can't afford to have the Internets down for very long.
I posted the picture for the whole "wireless" thing but it reminded me of a conversation happening on CV Rick's FaceBook wall, which is going to prompt me to ask:
For those of you that were around, what 80's fad are you guilty of committing?
Here's something that I've been wondering for a while. If the spin and the political tactics become so obvious that every corporate media article, talking head, and blogger is mentioning it, what's the point?
For example, The Great and Powerful Oz would love Mubarak to stay in power but that's just not going to happen so he can't openly endorse support for the dictator and has to speak in a way that supposedly doesn't offend the next Egyptian government. Everyone knows this. Everyone. The US government has long had a standing policy of putting oppressive dictators in place to control regions of interest and giving them billions of dollars in weaponry, support, and bribes. This is just common knowledge and Obama's waffling in Egypt is an obvious result when the supported dictator falls.
And while we're on the subject, does this common knowledge make statements like this one, from Steve Clemons, look stoopid or more like completely inept and unbelievable spin?
"Given that we are seeing a pattern of protest in many vulnerable nations throughout the Arab world, the Obama administration will be expected to roll out a new strategy of engagement that protects America's interests — particularly its energy sector interests — while at the same time standing behind the universal rights of people around the world to assemble and call for political reform."
Dude! Obama kills someone every single day! What we need here Steve, are baby steps. Let's wait until Obama has mastered the skill of standing behind the universal rights of people around the world to breath before we go merrily skipping ahead to freedom of speech, shall we? It's really hard to speak freely about what kind of government you would like when you're not breathing. Steve acknowledges that Obama is using the military to help oil companies pull off something that they couldn't afford to do nor would it be accepted by anyone else in the world and then goes on to give the bullshit line about respecting human rights. Really Steve?
If Obama didn't have his military completely tapped out destroying two other countries under false pretenses, he'd probably have them in Egypt helping Mubarak put down the uprising with extreme prejudice. The rumor is that the "Mubarak supporters" that are fighting against the protesters are actually paid soldiers in plain clothes and that the money comes from the US government. I have no idea if that's true but it's very easy to see the possibility that it's true.
Maybe Steve gets his Internets service from Canada and didn't pay the overage to get the whole story.
Oh no you don't!
What?
Finish the thought on spin before you go merrily skipping ahead to Canadian Internets service.
Fine. <pout>
Okay, so let's get this out of the way quickly so we can move on. Do you think that the people that are going to be in charge of the next Egyptian government are, in any way, fooled when Obama and Clinton try to straddle the fence? I don't understand all the pretend coyishness. If it's transparent to everyone with an Internets connection, doesn't that include Egyptians (you know, when Mubarak hasn't shut down the Internets)?
Happy?
Yes. Thank you. Move on.
Nothing to see here.
You know? I say that I don't do commercials but that's not entirely true. I don't watch them on TV (love DVR) and I don't listen to them on the radio (love-love-love Pandora) but every once in a while, I'll check them out on YouTube. Right now, E*Trade's are my favorites:
Turns out my parents are dabbling in wrestling.
Hello? Canada?
Jeezus! What are you? The ADHD police?
Canadian Internets users are in the midst of a scare. Bell is charging them through the nose, using a cell phone type of plan where people would get a certain amount of minutes (in this case data) and then they would have a super-extra amount in overage fees for any Internets use over the cap. With people streaming TV shows and movies from places like Hulu and Netflix, companies are looking for ways to increase revenue from providing Internets service. Bell, who provides something like ALL the Internets to Canada (okay, I'm exaggerating, it's only 80-90%) is also going to charge wholesale companies so that customers can't sneak around the bill by getting unlimited data packages from smaller Internets providers (who are getting their service through Bell).
Supposedly, the Canadian government is going to tell Bell that they can't do this. If they don't, a Netflix movie will cost something like $8 to watch if you've gone over your limit for the month. Then there's the popcorn and soda pop.
What?
Isn't that what everyone always says about movie prices?
Yes, yes it is - AT A MOVIE THEATER!
What? You don't eat popcorn at home?
Speaking of taking out a second mortgage to take the fam to the movies, Congress is going to raise the debt ceiling again. Okay, I've covered this before but I read a better perspective about this stoopidity last week, a better way of putting it into words. I'm taking my own creative license with the idea, which is completely summed up in the first two sentences of the next paragraph.
Congress should raise the debt ceiling and they should do it right. They should raise it to $100 trillion. There is no such thing as a debt ceiling anyway for Congress. When they get to the current imaginary ceiling, they just raise it again. This happens every 6 - 12 months and they are wasting valuable time debating the amount when that time could be better spent killing peopleinfringing on the rights of their subjectssupporting Mubarak but pretending not tohaving sex with underage hookers taking an extended vacation (after all, the government that governs least is the one that governs best). Just raise it to the point where you don't have to worry about it for a few years. It doesn't exist anyway so they might as well vote to not even have a debt ceiling.
I vote that we quit pretending like there is any amount of money we won't spend. Is anyone opposed?
Nay!
The lone vote from the gentleman from Texas is noted. Motion carries. Let's go shopping!
Gotta luv OPM!
Doncha?
Last, but by far the best part of today's post, is an email that I received from C.R. in response to the fact that I have to buy new pants that are a size smaller. She sent this:
"If you think you've got it bad . . . I'm buying clothes again for the third time. I bought some new things for my birthday back at the beginning of December because everything I owned was falling off. By Christmas, things were baggy again so I shopped the after-Christmas sales, and I'll be darned if it's not happening again. I'm about 7 pounds away from my goal. Actually I reached my first goal and decided I could do better. I haven't been this small in 26 years. I don't want to see my high school weight, I was too thin back then, but 10 pounds above that is where I'm headed and I never dreamed I would ever come close to that again.
I have been stuck where I am for the past couple of weeks as far as the scale, but you're right. If you keep "pushing play" the results happen. Although the scale hasn't moved recently, the measurements keep getting a little smaller each week. This is awesome!!! You've got to love Beachbody!"
How cool is that!?!
Right? That deserves a "You, the Super Hero" mention.
Right you are, Ken.
She doesn't mention it here but, for those of you that are interested, she is currently doing TurboFire. She mentions Beachbody as a whole in her email because she also has P90X and TurboJam and uses some of the supplements like P90X Recovery drink and Whey Protein (I've mentioned the benefits of whey protein many times and will likely mention it again).
Email like that make it so rewarding being a Beachbody coach.

I'm slow. I'm not talking about my running although I rarely post sub 10 minute miles because I don't see the need. I'm talking the whole Web 2.0 Social Internet thing. Maybe that's because I'm not social. Maybe it's because I don't really care much for trends. Maybe it's because I was too busy doing push-ups to notice. I dunno.
When MySpace was all the rage, I looked at it and said, "I don't get it." I created a page cuz all the cool kidz were doing it and then I abandoned it. I came back a year later or so and put a wolf background on it cuz all the cool kidz had done that like, ages ago. The cool kidz had music and slide-shows and pictures of themselves nekkid and all kinds of great stuff. I had managed to fill out about half of the profile stuff and friended a couple of people who had way cooler MySpaces or TheirSpaces than me.
A friend of mine knew about my apathy toward MySpace and said that I should forget about all the cool kidz and I should come hang out with the grown ups on Tribe. While, I can say without a doubt that I'm a terrible follower, I can say that I am also very curious and that when friends tell me to check something out, I do. It's curiosity and politeness all rolled up in one. One of the cool things about the people that I have chosen to be my friends is that they have very different lives than me. When they suggest something for me, I'm going to get a new look at something.
Compared to the teenage land of MySpace, Tribe was definitely an adult landscape. It was edgier in many ways and was no place for kids to venture. I joined with different tribes and took part in their world and then it all kind of fell apart. I'm not sure of everything that happened but there was a push to take away the edginess and the adultness of the place. I know there was a huge uproar from some the Tribees about the push to reduce or eliminate the porn on the site. Anyway, all the drama around it was too much for me and I jumped ship. I'm not a drama kind of guy.
Then FaceBook came out. Boooring by MySpace standards because you can't put up wolf wallpaper or add music to your Face or your Book or whatever the hell that means. It sounds like a high school year book or something. Facebook didn't have the coolness factor of MySpace or the edginess of Tribe. I have to confess that some of the MySpace spaces that I checked out were incredibly hard to read because of all the extras. So, while FaceBook was boring, the clean cut easy-to-read format actually appealed to me.
I also liked the very basic status thingy. I could put in a couple of lines and all my friends and family would know what I was up to. I had originally thought that my blog would serve that purpose but very little of this blog has been in journal format. I've had runs at teaching people about personal finance, politics, and now I'm on to what has been my passion for the last few years, fitness. FaceBook filled the role of letting people know what I was doing very nicely and I could do it all at once. One status entry: everyone that cares notified. Nice.
These were the big ones. I also got invited to places like Plax-something or other, Linkdin, and others that I have long forgotten. I have accounts with them because I wanted to have a look around but none of them held my interest for long.
Then Twitter came out. Everyone had to have a Twitter account so I created an account to see why everyone had to have a Twitter account. "I don't get it," I said. This was FaceBook's status thingy and that's all and in a very short format. All I could picture was getting texts that said:
"Just had a yummy breakfast."
"Riding the bus, killing time, sending useless tweets."
"Dude! Went to the bathroom. Do NOT go in there!"
"Switching from Missionary to Cowgirl."
I went back to FaceBook.
Here's a very important factor in this story. All of my cellphones have been phones. I didn't get a camera on my phone until they quit making phones that didn't have cameras. The first phone that I had with a camera, I got as a side dish, because I wanted something with an MP3 player. So, Twitter was out anyway because I wasn't a texter. I hated texting. What a useless sport that was. I heard about the speed texting awards and thought, "Good gawd, what have we become?" It wasn't the actual texts that I hated because I used to be a full-time IM person with YahooMessenger and ICQ (back in the day, eh?). I'm okay with the quick back and forth and find it very convenient. It's just not convenient when you have to hit the "7" button 15 times so that you can put a "R" on the screen.
Texting was out and even if I had thought Twitter had a use, it was out by extension.
Lo and Behold, I decided to actually buy a Droid. It has a qwerty keyboard. I'm a texter now. Not a crazy texter but it's good for getting quick simple info to someone when you don't care if or how long it takes for them to respond. I like the convenience of it.
Then, as part of some research that I'm doing, I decided to go take another look at Twitter. There are now a couple of things to it that appeal to me.
#1. I was able to link this blog to my twit account. That means that when I post a blog, everyone that is following me should get an announcement that I have a new blog post out. I think this is great. I try to get my daily post out around 3pm but it routinely goes out a bit later than that, especially on Mondays and Tuesdays (and today). Now, instead of everyone constantly checking back in eager anticipation of what I'm going to say that day (and I know that you all do eagerly wait - at least that's how I picture it - don't ruin it for me by saying different), all my wonderful blog readers can follow me on Twitter and get the notification. I don't even need to do anything. My blog talks to Twitter, they come up with a cooperative plan, and voila! everyone knows there is a new blog post available to the world. How cool is that?
#2. Those of you that are friends with me on FaceBook may have noticed a significant drop off in my participation there, even on the easy to do status update thingy. My blog posts are announced there because once again, I don't have to do anything for that to happen. I write a blog post and it magically appears on FaceBook. If I had to do it manually, it wouldn't get done.
Twitter has solved my problem for me because now all my tweets are supposed to end up on my FaceBook status thingy. That's like killing 5 birds with 1 stone or something. Now, since I seem to be too busy or apathetic to actually go to FaceBook to update my status, I can do it while sitting on the bus or the toilet or during a board meeting.
"You should see Johnson's nose hairs today. Someone pass him a comb."
So far I have sent two tweets. The first one was to test it by clicking the "tweet this" at the bottom of one my blog posts. The other one was supposed to be a message to my wife that instead went out to the whole world on Twitter. You can delete those from Twitter but it's harder to go around to everyone's phone and hit delete. "There is no undo!"
For those of you that got that tweet, I'd ask you to sincerely not retweet that I was waiting for my wife at home wearing nothing but Saran Wrap and a pair of scissors on a ribbon around my neck. I'd really appreciate that.
Anywho, for all of you that would like to be notified of new blog posts when they come out and some of the funnier random thoughts that pop into my head, you can now officially follow me on Twitter.
