In other news, I have a new piece of music coming out soon. It's a remix of te New World Symphony.

Still Here. Sorry.

Exodus Tyson is dead. 4 years ago, when her birth was mentioned on the news, my dad perdicted this would happen based on Mike Tyson's astrology. Trippy...and tragic that he was right.

Yesterday, Rush (I don't know how to spell his last name), the insane radical right-wing looney, called judicial nominee Sonia Sotomayor a "Reverse Racist". Saying that she hates whites. This is one of the great political FAILs of the week. By calling her that–as if to insult her–, he shot himself in the foot. This remark is almost as dumb as "Opposite Sex Marrige". The opposite of a racist is a non racist, the defination of racist is not limited to whites, and he puts a bad name to any white person who agrees with him becarse of the reason I said before.

The G.O.P. is in deep trouble now. All that seems to be left running the party are Michel Steele, Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindal, Rush Whats-his-spelling, and miss U.S.A.

If anyone wants a comment from me on the CA Supreme courts desision on prop 8, I'll just compare it to the Dred Scott Decision.

Today the dow is up enough to get back the losses of the last two weeks. I think a three day weekend is exactly what we needed.

Over the memorial day weekend, I was looking for a Best Buy in Colma (a solid 30 miles from my home), and got lost in a graveyard. As I walked passed the military section, I saw that at the top of whatever it would say, the emblem of thier religion would be circled. I wondered what would it would look like if that fallen hero was an athiest.

This week, we are dealing with the contravercy over tourchure. The G.O.P. first said that enhanced interragation tecniques never happened, than when it was exposed as happing all the time (in some cases the detainees were waterboarded 5 times a day, had thier nailes pulled out, had been smashed against walls, been forced to eat pork and drink alchahol against thier religion), they said that it was nessessary to protect the country. Now thier next level of excuse is we said it was O.K. because doubl-ya said it was.

Instead of military tribunals and holding them indefinatly, we would be breaking less human rights laws if we simply shot them in the head. Also, WHERE THE HELL DID THE REPUBLICANS THINK THE DETAINEES GO AFTER GITMO? THE NORTH POLE? Did they think Santa would take care of it for them.

Violating human rights laws are not in the intrests of national security. Solar Panels are. It's time to really start the 12-step program of Oil-Anomyous. Not just raising standered for oil. This is the kind of thing that can fix our economy as well as put some much needed oxygen into the air. It works for everyone. We all know that the G.O.P. has enough oxygen to the brain problems already.

New stuff coming in I don't know when. I'm working for other entities for the moment.

So let's take a look at what we have learned in the past 7 days.

1. The presedent of the United States may, as much as he wants, cap on his administration. "Today is mother's day", Barack said. "Which is diffucult for Rahm Emanual because he is not used to using the word DAY after the word MOTHER."

1A: GAWD DAMN, BARACK- THAT'S BRUTAL!!!

2. Secratary of Defences are allowd to fire thier commanders for no reason at all. Which makes sence considering that the same thing is happening to the employees of companies that pay billions in bounses to thier CEOs.

3. Giants fans can be good in the ring. Just ask Manny Pacquiao.

4. I just learned that I can spell Manny Pacquiao.

Today, as the dow struggles to stay afloat, and more rumors about the upcoming WWDC take shape, I stop to say something compleatly unrelated. Today, I am announcing the consolidation of Mega Sonic Comics and Workbreach Radio to form "Miscilanious Projects". This way I will have more creative choices as to the next piece of media I would want to add to the site.

After seeing the new Star Trek Movie, I now understand why Star Trek Nemesis was a flop when It was in theaters back in 2002.

In 1966, nobody had a device that could find anything for you, tell you where the resteraunt was, and give you driving directions, and still have room for talking to people in far away places while being able to fit in your shirt pocket. Even in 2002, phones existed, and could do things that Cmdr. Data's tricorder couldn't. We trekkies need to understand that although that movie had a genuine bad plot, it's a much needed modernization of Star Trek. Something that would have compleatly pleased us would have been such a flop that Star Trek would not have been able to Survive. You can compare it to Get Smart and it's modernization.

Star Trek has had 3 eras now.

The 60's Era: Consisting of just the origional series.

The 2nd Era: Consisting of Everything from "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" (1979) to "Star Trek Enterprise" (2000-2004)

The 3rd Era: Which, I believe started yeaterday with "Star Trek" (2009)

Star Trek will now continue as a modernized and adapted franciise for the 21st Century.

Now, if we only knew which century the next movie would be in. 23? 24? Or maybe something compleatly new?

Hey, Lookey Lookey. I've been gone for quite a while but now here I am. Barefoot and only 3 minutes away from having torun out of here so as not to miss my train. Just checking In, but I'm continueing to work with the JCC on an upcoming project. All is well. Maybe another update soon?

So...Spring Break dod not exactly go as I planned. I accomplished almost nothing because my dad ran into computer problems...again. This time it took a new 7200RPM 1/4TB HD and an extra half gig of RAM as well as 4 days to fix it. He needed all his files transfered, he needed his old drives enclosed, he needed a copy of mirosoft office that wasn't 7 years old. The list goes on and on. But on the bright side, I'm still working on my broshure, and I upgraded my own computer's HD from a fifth terrabyte to a half terrabyte. And I got a really kickass enclosure for my old one. A new photo in the first time here section might come soon.

And now the DOW(N) is back into the 7000's. I still think we are finally bottoming out, but it's going sooo ssllooow.

Here's something awsome I found out: The first emoticon was found in an 1860's transcript of an Abe Lincoln speech. DAMN YOU AUTOMATIC SMILEY FACE GENERATOR-WHEN-IT-SEES-MY-BEAUTYFUL-EMOTICON-ER!!!

I've been gone a while, haven't I?

Vince from Shamwow was arrested after beating a prostitute he had payed $1000 for what he called "Straight Sex". He started to kiss her, then she bit his tounge and wouldn't let go.

With that little tidbit of information, I wonder- the U.S. Government as well as many states are having this debate over leagelizing and taxing pot. I am all for that, but I'd take it one step further. If taxing churches' real-estate to elimate half the deficite is too radical for you, how about taxing prostitution? Hookers will never go away. It's the world's oldest profession- they've been around longer than Larry King. So instead of insisting on erraticating prostitiution, why not tax it insted? just put a 2% tax on it, let it happen, then take the money. In just 24 hours, over $20 million could be generated. We would be out of this econimic sh*thole in less than a month. And we'd be back to the Clinton days (no pun intended) in less than a year.

Moving on, I'm working on a brosure about my services as a PowerPoint artist Etc. I'll post up as soon as it's ready, and my upcoming Spring Break hangover goes away.

I might be in New York City over the spring break, so I might not be able to post the usual complement of updates.

Mega Sonic Comics Part 5 - Coming Soon

Workbreach Radio IX - Maybe Next week, with yet another show format.

I'll see if I can dole out a few 2D and 3D Graphics too.

Next Music Remix in the works. Have to remove Ode to the Macintosh because it infringes on more copyrights than I origionally thought.

Videos - I've got a kind of suprise for that one. Stay tuned.

First of all, For three years I have had this website to show everyone what I can do and what floats my boat, and I'd like to thank everyone who helped and supported me over that time. But now...

Hey! You did not actually think I was leaving or something, right? Your celebration is pre-mature! Ha! You thought CarTalk was bad!

Today, I have added workbreach.com to the Webs public area. So, hopefully I'll improve traffic.

Also, I will soon have a new Status: FOR HIRE.

I've decided to take my skills and put them to good work, and hopefully putting some much needed cash in my pocket. What I currently have on my website is only the tip of the iceberg of what I can really do. I specialize in PowerPoint and Keynote presentations, and people doing those for others usually charge alot more than I will. I've been at it for 12 years, so no worries there. More Information TBA.

Has anyone (as if anyone actually reads this) seen, used, or own a third generation iPod Shuffle? After what I said? Well, I've decided to go ahead and but one of these because I could use it at the gym.

I just learned that failblog.org is not blacklisted by the SFUSD. The SFUSD has blacklisted around (rough estimate) 50 million websites, and to get that number I had to look at 10 websites because the first 9 have been blocked. Everything from MySpace (Understandable) to the HONORABLE Onion News Network (What the Fvck is that?)

ME: Who the Hell approved blo0cking the onion new network.

SFUSD: The ONN is a tabloid and filled with disinformation.

ME: And preaching the 1st amendment then blacklisting 1 out of 3 websites isn't?

SFUSD: We only block sites with objectional images and content?

ME: You never blocked the McCain Campaign.

SFUSD: You should be getting your 60 minutes a day.

ME: I'd Love to but with 2 hours of homework per person per class, as is your policy, It will be Jimmy Fallon time before I can go out.

SFUSD = San Francisco Unified School District

SFUSD = Super Fvcked Up School District

Try njudahchronicles.com if you hate muni as much as I do.

OMG. Mayor Gavin Newsom (or as I call him Grewsom Newscum) opened a twitter account.

"Just took 2.5mill from the rainy day fund and gave it to my govener exploratory campaign. LOL"

With the announcement of iPhone OS 3.0, I have fully realized what I must do to pass the time. Jailbreak. And so I did...and thus bricked my iPod Touch. Not to worry though, It's only a few hours before your ship shape and missing 8GB.

Then and Now:

Then: "I've been so bored since the string on my yo-yo broke"

 Now: "I've been so bored since my iPod Touch bricked"

Strange, Isn't it?

On to buisness. I'm investagating a new progrem called "Sketchers Studio", Where you can make high quality animations with your sketchup models. Very awsone- if useable.

Have you seen the DOW so far today?

That awsome spike Must mean that some greedy AIG person got pwned! It's really as if my perants tax returns are nothing more than a check to one of these AIG morons.

And how the heck can you compare AIG to Lehman Bros.? Lehman Bros, (er however you spell it) recieved no bailout and died instantly. AIG Has recieved something like $100 BILLION and they are struggleing because they spend that money of the high up execs.

So, I was at the JCC just chilling out when I found a very intresting thing on the apple main page. It was a small block the size of a pinky finger. Then I said to myself, "Hey! That's not a metal pinky, that's an iPod Shuffle!"

Apple has made an iPod so small, that you cannot see it more than a meter away. It's also the first iPod with absoultly no buttons. The controls are on the earphones.

CONS: No Buttons, $89 (Price went up), must use the earphones applr provides, No colors, and VoiceOver Based

PROS: It's tiny! Neeto!

Really? I found it was easyer to put my hands at 9:45 and 2:15, Therefore giving me an extra 30 minutes to remember not to slam on the breaks.

Now, I know why driving is fun...that is...in the visitor parking lot of the V.A. Hospital.

So, Apple announced the new Macs. Now, for about 3 years, I have had a tradition in which whenever Apple announces a new Mac Pro, (Apple's Top of the line super deluxe high-end premium computer), I build an online model trying to drive up the cost as high as I can. Here are the results:

"50 Years before Slowing Down"

-I said that the first time I did this Mac Pro Tradition Thing.

So, I am planning to record a new Workbreach Radio as early as Saturday. I still have to make the arrangements.

So, What floats my boat today is this whole issue of Rush Limbuagh or however the fvck you spell his name running the GOP. I think that's a bit trippy. The GOP is in a downward sprial right now.

LIMBAUGH: I want Barack Obama to Fail.

MY REACTION: If you want the presedent to fail the United States, maybe it's you who is with the terrorists.

LIMBAUGH: What's wrong with that? The DEMs wanted Bush to Fail!

MY REACTION: Not true. We know he world fail, but we certianlly did not want him to. His failure is the reason that Workbreach has no cash flow and has laid off thousands of imagenary workers. It's the reason why I have had to go on a real spending freese which doesn't expire untill the WWDC for Snow Leopard. It's the reason why my 2nd Favorite Chineese restaruant just went out of buisness. And it's the reason the DOW is at 6600 and falling fast.

First of all, workbreach radio has returned, bigger and better than ever! I remastered all 8 episodes with enhanced album art and episode 8 has dynamic album art when we talk about GWR 2009! What is more: Episode 9 might be recorded as early as next week- our first show of 2009- the primere of season 3!

Mega Sonic Comics Part 5 will arive in April and Part VI will be worked on next week but it will be a while before it's out.

I am working on a new SketchUp based on everyone's favorite sweetish furniture store: IKEA. More info TBA

As for Videos, I am pleased to announce that I have been working with my mom to bring you her travels to Africa:

Oh, MOTHERFUDGER! Now I'm scared. Let me just check my own shares of DIA...FVCK!!! So today, AIG will gat it's 4th bailout. THAT SHIT JUST LOST 60 BILLION DOLLARS- MOST OF IT WAS TAX PAYER DOLLARS THAT THEY SPENT ON GOLDEN PARASCHUTES AND COMPANY RETREATS FOR EXECS WHILE LAYING OFF THOUSANDS OF WORKERS! A LOSS OF 60 BILLION IS THE WORST CORPRATE LOSS IN U.S. HISTORY! If I see another golden paraschute from TARP 2, I will find those execs and...

...Site Announcement Coming later today.
