Don’t Stop Believing - Petra Haden
September 18, 2007
This restores my faith in music videos being more than stupid bits of concert footage showing T&A. Not that I am opposed to seeing T&A unless it is Flavo Fav picking it out. My god what was he thinking naming Schatar Taylor, “Hottie”! Of course, this being Flavo Flav what the fuck was he ever thinking, he hung out with Vanilla Ice and thought that improved his street cred.

Moving To Wordpress
September 14, 2007
I gave up on a MovableType today and decided I much preferred WordPress . it wasn’t that MT was a bad blogging tool, I simply don’t have the time to learn all I need to know in order to control it the way I want. I am still going to be going through a great number of changes to the blog’s look and feel over the next few days and invite comments on anything and everything. I am going to sit back load up my Nirvana playlist and pretend I still have my white Vinyl copy of Bleach! Long Live Kurt! (just try and imagine my bic up in the air)
Painfully Obvious
September 12, 2007
Well folks, it is painfully obvious to me I am out of touch with current design technologies, but not for long. I never want to go back to writing entire sites with nothing more than a yellow legal pad, colored pencils, and notepad as an editor. I want to get a feel for my own design from code level. I am forcing myself to take a refresher course in style sheets. Let me know what you think of the multitude of changes going on over the next few days. Any tutorial site suggestions would be great.
9/11
September 11, 2007
Where were you? I was standing in the Dollar General in Xenia, OH when I heard the news over the radio of the first plane. I was on my way home when I heard about the second plane on NPR. I knew immediately that this wasn’t a tragic accident. As much as no one wants to admit it, this was an act we brought upon ourselves for sixty years of meddling in Middle East politics and Islamic power plays. I don’t condone the act or say we deserved it, but I cannot and will not say we as a country were simply innocent bystanders.I fear for us as a country, because we have not seen the last of these attacks. We can’t keep our noses out of other people’s business. My eight years olds grandchildren will be paying for the actions we have taken in Iraq and Afghanistan. By deposing the accepted leaders of these countries we have said it is okay to simply go in and remove a leader because we are unhappy with them. Will anyone remember we eliminated Saddam or the Taliban because we were unhappy with them, when Islamacist or some home grown nut job with a grievance gets around to assassinating our president? I think not. Don’t think for a minute that it will be a subtle attack either. Someone will walk up to them with bombs strapped to their chest repeatedly until they get him. We don’t deserve this, but neither do the people we label as collateral damage.
