April Fools
It’s that time of the year to goof off and prank somebody. What may I do during this day? Well, I have no elaborate scam or anything planned. What? You don’t believe me?

If you aren’t familiar with RickRolling - it’s when someone puts a link on website to something, but it actually takes you to a music video of Rick Astley’s “hit” song Never Gonna Give You Up.

Terrorists linked to piracy? →
What’s Mukasey’s proof? “Criminal syndicates, and in some cases even terrorist groups, view IP crime as a lucrative business and see it as a low-risk way to fund other activities,” Mukasey said. “A primary goal of our IP enforcement mission is to show these criminals that they’re wrong.” Right. Terrorists organize themselves for profit to steal American...

Is the World ready for the smallest phone yet?
It’s the smallest phone to date. It’s called the Modu; “The Guinness Book of World Records has named the Modu mini phone “the lightest mobile phone in the world.” The phone, which we saw at MWC this year, weighs a mere 1.4 ounces and is .3 inches thick. Modu received a $100 million cash infusion last week.” (CrunchGear) The question is, who needs it? The same concern was...
Pre-Production Schedule: New Online Show
I’m writing and producing a new show that is about to hit weekly. It’s called Rambling Opinions and I am working around the clock to produce the first few episodes including a promo. The show is around one to two minutes about a certain topic that hits everybody everyday. It’s not political, but it’s something taken out of everyday life, whether it may be television,...

Caught for the first time on video, Segway inventor Dean Kamen presented his Vapor Compression Distiller on last night’s Colbert Report. The distiller is a chemical-, membrane-, and filter-free water purifier. Kamen claims the box draws pure drinkable water from oceans, poisons—even a 50-gallon drum of urine. He has reportedly worked on the contraption for five years, but early prototypes...

Costs Surge for Stocking the Pantry →
Well, I was right! Two days ago, I wrote a piece about the volitile dollar, and how inflation would strike commodities. Well, it’s here, and it’s not going to end, I bet you. “Government figures released Friday showed that grocery costs had jumped 5.1 percent in 12 months, the latest in a string of increases. In fact, the nation is undergoing its worst grocery inflation since the...

Gold - A golden moment →
Furthermore, it is odd for rising commodity prices to accompany slowing American economic growth. The assumption has been that emerging-market demand can decouple from America. But if that assumption is wrong, there could easily be a sharp fall in mainstream commodity prices. That would make the inflationary threat seem less intense and could drag gold down with it.
The Sad Reality of the Volatile Dollar
I’ve just read in the Economist that gold is up $1,000 per ounce. “Look maw, I striked rich!” But that’s not good news at all. It raises many questions; Gold hasn’t started supplying more or less, and there’s no new pull on demand, so why is there such a big increase? Why of course the Dollar! All of the commodities are benefiting from this falling and weakening...

What is a load of bull?
It’s a load of bull when you can’t understand crap in thirty minutes because you didn’t pay attention to a few lectures in your math class. Crap, it’s not the time to cram, it’s time to copy! [A reference to my dilemna of doing homework that won’t actually help in life. Sad really.]

I hate to face the facts dead on, but I must in order to inform the masses, or few, on something that’s so challenging to our society. I’m talking of course about the female dress code trends. There are two tough spots I want to hit: the “little girl whore section of the mall” and the “Older woman/ Mothers trying to be hip like they’re twenty.” First, the...
