Well I got to see my movie yesterday, I even went again today....of course there are a lot of people that didn't like it but I got out of it what I wanted. Anyways, its cold now...so I guess that means the bike can be put up for the winter. ( I think I need to put it up anyways because I need a new front tire) *Sigh* I'm already starting to miss riding, but I'm gonna be on my hustle this winter so by next year I'll have another bike to play with. I'll probably spend this time finding other riders, new riders and possibly gettin a crew together. Next summer is gonna be pretty crazy, I have definitely turned into a motorcycle nut and I'm tryin to bring along as many people as possible. Right now I only know of a few that are definites to get bikes, others are hopefuls. I'm lookin pretty hard for stuff about stuntin.....
*Sigh* I got to fill out 2 absence forms for this week for work for being late. I just need to make sure I get here on time the rest of the time. I also need to get some more stuff to put in my cube....It's lookin kinda bare.

Well the last few days of this heat wave are leaving, so we'll be back down to the mid-50s pretty soon. I guess for normal people that would be the end of the bike riding as well.....not me, as long as its not freezing I'll be riding. I need to at least get a good wheelie in before the winter. Hopefully the people that were planning on getting bikes next summer will still get them. They just need someone around that's gonna continue to hype them up, I guess I can be that person. Also need to make sure I try to get more people to go the stunt class in Cleveland, that should be some good times so when we come back we can have our own stunt team. Next summer should prove to be a pretty good one, I think by that time a lot of people are getting more established, people will have their bikes, and everybody will just be having fun.

Well, I guess tomorrow is the day....Matrix Revolutions comes out, I'm going to be at the 9 a.m. showing. (I'm such a Matrix nut) I've been reading all the reviews about it and the critics have not been nice at all. I guess that's what you should expect though...their critics. I just don't think they understand all the other mediums the Matrix comes to us in. I guess if they just saw what I saw then they could appreciate it more.

Anyways, I guess I've already talked about bike riding and the Matrix...what else can I talk about? I guess my best friend is a good candidate. I guess the super secret news is that he's supposed to be moving down here....from a few months till for good. Is this a good thing? As long as he knows that he's coming here to work on himself then it will be, if he's coming here to reestablish what he had in Milwaukee...then there's gonna be some problems. Of course, he would want me to help him rebuild him empire...which I'm not going to do. It took me years to shake off the effects of Milwaukee, and now I'm clean and sober (don't worry there were no drugs involved)....just in the sense that I'm not the same person I was back then, and that I'm not all that eager to reclaim my once held position. *sigh* Well I guess I will only find out when he gets here.

What else....We moved offices...We were on the 2nd floor, now we're on the 4th I know that's not really exciting....but it sure is something different. My cube has a little bit more space but I'm not sure if its from the desk or just the new organization of my stuff on it.

Cookie...Smookie...Someone needs to give me a cookie for dealing with my freakin CIS 111 professor. I don't think I've ever met anyone so hell bent on destroying me, well not just me her students in general. Well I guess that can't be the case because she treats her favorites like......well her favorites. I turn in superb work and still manage to get so many points taken off...its ridiculous. I'll fix her though, I'll get all of this straightened out.

I'll give a cookie to anyone who knows what this is?

Yes.....I'm slackin...I know. I'll get it together soon enough though, time just seems to be going by so fast though...I need to catch up. It's getting very chilly now...I guess I'll concede and get my bike ready for the winter. It's been fun while the time lasted now I need to concentrate on other things, like getting out of my CIS 111 before my professor tries to come up with new things that she can do to get me out of her class. We'll see tomorrow.......*Note to self - I still need to write that letter.

Another moment to think....a guy that works with me died earlier this morning NEWS REPORT This is not something you can get used to, you see a person one day and they're gone the next. There's no warning....you don't see it coming...there's no billboard...no signs...just death. What will his family do? What's going to happen to his kids? Does that mean he really isn't going to be coming into work today? I mean...for real...he can't be dead, I know him....I helped him move his family into their new house. We would go to the movies in our off time...it can't be for real. Where's the guy that says "Yo Yo Yo!" whenever he walks in. Hmmmm...I don't know...you never know.

There we go!!!!

The weekend is almost upon us.....I'm looking forward to it, but I already know that I'm going to do a lot of work this weekend. I got a programming project due on monday and I need to try and work on this program for work.....ALSO...I need to get my bike legal (Title, tags,etc...) Even though its cold I'll probably still be riding...... :D *Big Cheese* I'm actually getting hype....there's a lot of stuff I plan on doing to that bike and I can't wait. Today was pretty uneventful, I spent most of the day waiting to go to work. I started watching K-Pax on TV at about 2:30 and of course I started to get into the movie right before I had to go (I was almost late to work) and then I had to miss the last 15 mins of it. That's always the worst. I just put together a new Redhat 9 box that I'm going to use as a repair box while I fix another computer that has Windows XP on it. I might even wind up putting Redhat 9 on that box if I can get the repair box to do everything I think is needed. Speaking on Linux, I called myself investing in the future welfare of the computers that are on our desks at the help desk I work at. I would definitely like to be using linux but of course there's that one software program that we need that only runs on Windows.... Remedy. As of right now there aren't any truly successful implementations of people getting Remedy to work on linux. Well one of our network admins said that he was able to do it, only he was only able to do it under Lindows. Well I guess its better than nothing so I figured I'd chime in and get him the new 4.0 version because I really hate windows NT. Well I decided to try it out for myself at home.....it sucks. So I think what needs to happen is to find another way to get remedy in Linux. Hopefully if I search long enough I'll find something.

www.UpOnOne.com - Motorcycle Videos, Pictures, Links, News, Reviews, How To's, Shops and More! This is where I'm going to learn the EXTRAs that come with riding a bike. Also ZX6R.com - For the Ninja Riders

But let me emphasize that there are so many mor things out there like what I just talked about, I just didn't want to take up the whole page.

What is it that disturbs me?.....hmmm.....The color of this damn blog disturbs me, but that's not what I wanted to talk about. I think two things that bother me the most right now in the US are rights and technology. Of course technology rights are a big thing with me since I'm so into technology. Well what's going on and why am I disturbed? Back when the thoughts of shutting down Napster I began to develop my own opinion of what was going on. Yes, I was one of the millions downloading music from there....does it make it right? No....but I wasn't going to pay $17 for CDs that were utter crap. I had a few speeches and papers that I needed to do for my communications and english classes at my college....so I wrote about Napster. I didn't sit and write about how I just wanted to download music for free forever and ever, I actually wanted to see what was going to happen down the road because of this. What I found scared the crap out of me really, it showed me that in the years to come what we wanted in regards to technological innovation was not going to occur....not because it wasn't thought up or implemented but because someone a few years back made laws that stifled that innovation before it could have even come to bloom. We go theDMCA you can see more info about it at Anti-DMCA, basically I would go to The Electronic Frontier Foundation because they have all the laws, bills that are being introduced, reintroduced....whatever. If you look at the different things that have been introduced you can just tell that these weren't made for the people in mind, in fact the people can protest till they're blue in the face but no one is listening. Does that mean stop telling? stop getting the word out against these rights infringing laws? of course not. Let's take the DMCA for example they have took upon themselves to sue everybody....businesses....individuals....anybody that has any kind of connections with P2P File Sharing, but for christ's sake they sued a 12 yr old girl and 71 yr old man...just recently they wanted to sue a 66 yr old women for $300,000,000.00 I all the zeroes in so you could see how much money that is. (The woman was a case of mistaken identity) Come on now, this is ridiculous....if it's that serious I won't even bother to buy CDs anymore, because this is sure not encouraging me to. Then you got the Copy Protected Media if you do buy CDs. Then you got Internet Censorship going on....but its going on with Google and what something like that does is basically erase whatever it is from existence. Why? because the majority of the people use google to search and if you can't find it in google you probably won't look elsewhere to find it. That's some heavy stuff, but it as well goes unnoticed by the public...then you got things that were supposed to be here to help us which could really be used against us. USA Patriot Act Even this crap with SCO and GNU/Linux is garbage the only thing that all of these issues really shows is that money talks and not everything is done FOR the people. The GNU/Linux issue is of concern to me since I like to run it myself, but the bad mouthing that Mircosfot is doing is pissing me off. I guess the hope for me there is that so many other countries are migrating to GNU/Linux that if there ever comes a time where the US just pasts some crazy law, banning Linux I'll have plenty of other places to live. Well that was my partial rant for the day....gotta go.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe - On a George Foreman Grill

Yes, you heard it right......Grilled Cookies. Now, this wasn't my idea but the results were pretty good....Especially for cookies baked on a grill. The grill shown above is not actually the one that I own, mine is a little smaller....$10 at Walmart. I wasn't really the one baking either, a co-worker of mine decided to borrow my grill.....why he had the cookies at work? dont ask. Anyways, what he did to bake his foreman cookies: He used the cookie dough sqaures they might have been Toll House, I can't remember. He also elevated the front a little to make sure the cookies didn't slide out. Since my grill was so small he sat them 3 across and left them in there for about 3 - 3 1/2 minutes. Yes, they did come out slightly burnt and funny looking....but hey he made cookies on a Foreman grill. I don't know of any health issues with this....so try at your own risk, if I get some crazy cookie disease then you know something went wrong.

I need a new car......I need a new identity with good credit so I can get a new car. *sigh* Bad credit sucks....I mean really sucks, I wish I would of new that when I was having funfunfun charging up everything under the sun with those first credit cards. It's my fault though, being hard-headed I should have listened to my parents. (Now that's a first) Anyways, I will work somethin out. My first design project for my programming class is due tomorrow and I also have to figure out when I'm going to test out of my pre-req for the class as well.......busy busy. The nice days are leaving and I don't have the title or tags for my bike...so I'll probably miss out on the last of the nice days. Don't matter I'll ride it when its freezing :) Okay, well maybe not.

Well I haven't been posting in awhile....everything is moving too fast. I've since started classes....I've since dropped classes, not because they were hard or I didn't want to take them I'm just trying to test out of them. Dealt with a retarded teacher with an ego problem and she had the nerve to say I had one after I said "I know more about computers than anyone I know" of course she threw in her...."Not more than me comment". But I don't feel like talkin about her anymore. I've even finished my motorcycle class and of course I passed.....You wanna see somethin else Check this out! It's not my actual bike, but it's the one that I bought same color, same year and everything. So even though its too cold this year, watch out cuz next year is gonna be crazy.

Thursday already.....this week is going by pretty fast, unfortunately yesterday I mistakingly thought it was my day off and about time I realized it wasn't I was about 45 mins late. Well today is actually my day off and I'll be attending my classroom portion of my BRC or motorcycle class. So today should be pretty interesting, I also received all of my information from when I submitted my paperwork for my company. It looks all official like, now I just need to talk to someone and figure out what the hell all of it means.

Slashdot | RIAA Sues 12-Year Old Girl I definitely have to say that there has to be something wrong with this......a 12 year old girl. They're even suing a 71 year old grandfather.....this is truly ridiculous.

Yea, its been a few days without a post...I guess a bunch has been going on. Somebody tried to steal my car last saturday right before I left for my reserve drill. (So that put a damper on the rest of my weekend) They tore off the lock on my passenger door and busted up my steering column....I wanted to invest in one of these airsoft BB guns. Then I'll camp out and wait for them......mwuhahaha!!! Well they didn't take anything for now, I need to buy an alarm though. Other than that drill...was drill, I had a PT test on Saturday that I'm still sore from. On Sunday we had a picnic that had me bored to tears. Yesterday, I ran around like a chicken with his head cut off and today I did absolutely nothing. Tomorrow, however is my classroom training for my motorcycle class and then this weekend we'll do the riding portion. I'm pretty excited about that, my friend was going to sell his ninja 600 to me for $1500 but of course I had already spent the money and had to let the bike slip away :( damnit. Work has been okay so far today I guess....nothing to crazy has happened. I did find some interesting things though searching on the net. Asterisk - The Open Source Linux PBX what is it you say? It's my key to not paying a damn thing for using the phone utilizing VoIP. Then I could even possibly turn over a profit if I integrate it with some other business ideas. I got to the Asterisk site via this one...Internet Telephone supported on GNU/Linux of course.

Go Here...and click on stuff Well it looks like MozillaFirebird is working for me for the blog...let's see how long it lasts.
Well I've putting in long hours trying to get the music in my car just right, I've spent quite a few dollars as well. For everyone's information, I drive a '90 Pontiac 6000 it isn't the greatest of all cars...but I don't have a car payment so its good. Well awhile ago my radio got stolen and I swore I wasn't going to put another radio in it....so I've been riding in silence for months. Well I finally broke down and bought this expensive radio that plays MP3s as well as gets satellite radio. I was going to take it back but I'm glad I didn't, since then I've gotten all new speakers in the car....3 amps...tweeters....crossovers. I have to say my car sounds very damn good now....I'm so happy, it has put the joy back in driving for me. I know I'm not finished yet so I'll keep updating about the latest stuff.
Other than working on my car I have been doing damn near nothin. I'm enrolled full-time for school and that starts on the 14th....still working on my house. I know this is a boring entry but I'll have more after my reserve drill this weekend.

Ok this is really retarded...Mozilla still does not work with my blog, I don't understand why. I haven't updated either but that's beside the point. Oh...for those people experiencing problems with their Roadrunner and MSN Messenger this is something you should look at

I do have to talk about my ventures that I'm trying to get into, maybe not right now but soon. CWN (Community Wireless Network) something like SeattleWireless.net, I would really like to do that but I would also build that into the NetShare program that Speakeasy has. So I would be able to offer those on the network internet access but to make it sweeter I would offer VoIP services so that they could make unlimited long distance calls for however much a month. I would roll it all up into a nice little plan.
