It did not matter how we reacted to the threat of SOPA or PIPA. Obama went  over our heads and senate and did it anyway with the ACTA and it is worse then the two previous.

Obama Signs Global Internet Treaty Worse Than SOPA

Months before the debate about Internet censorship raged as SOPA and PIPA dominated the concerns of web users, President Obama signed an international treaty that would allow companies in China or any other country in the world to demand ISPs remove web content in the US with no legal oversight whatsoever.

America has been gone a long time now, I have no idea who this country is anymore.

I think his base knows he is not going to win again and he is ruining us as fast as he can. This entry was originally posted at http://www.dreamwwidth.org</i>I wish you try it because I love it here!

So Happy to be home. Networking work, big pain in the .. and it is now over, I have some clean up and fine tuning work to do .. but the hard part is done.

I still have to prepare for a talk in a week (I am going to let them know it is my last talk)

I just finished my homework assignment in time and did okay. I am now half way through.
My weekend is going to be studying and reading weekend with Sunday being our winter Auction.

I am so not used to using my brain like this. it is hard but I am starting to like it. And am going take next level. I am taking notes like crazy, so I can always look back if I forget.

I am using One Note by Microsoft so my notes are very organized and time stamped :)

I was really not to happy to read this The title says "Google announces privacy changes across products; users can’t opt out".

I really hope this does not catch on with others, but by march I will be clean of all google accounts except for you tube. I have to go through all my accounts and change my email address to the yahoo account and I started another yahoo account for "newsletters" and stuff like that.

if everyone does this then I will have to go back to pulling email from a server onto my hard drive and I am not crazy about that either.

I was never comfortable with google+ or Facebook so they are also gone now too. I guess a journal site like this is the only way I will share my content as unimportant to the general masses as it is LOL I just think that even though it might not be the biggest deal now, it will be soon.

Heavy snow moved into the Chicago metro area around noon on Friday, January 20 and accumulated very quickly thanks to the cold, arctic air mass in place. Visibilities were reduced to 1/4 of a mile in the heaviest snow bands.

Boy is it ever! We went to go get cat food (My babies need their wellness) and a 10 min drive took 2 1/2 hours! problem was all those tiny cars could not get over bridges. We have an SUV Ford and 4 wheel drive, but we were stuck behind tiny cars that just sat there and spun their wheels.

Lots of commutes lasted 4 - 6 hours for some, at least that is what the news is reporting. What we nice to see when we did get home was someone plowed our sidewalk! I wish we would have had snow for the Christmas season.

Also got a new fish food, one for the catfish, one for the plecos and one for the other fish. .. this food made by omega one is like what wellness is to cats and dogs .. no by-products and fillers! We came home and fed the fish and WOW, they went crazy for the food!

Just finished the whole series of "The Tudors".

Speaking of which, as I went along the series I did look up the history of the Tudors.

A few things I noticed was the violence and cruelty. The imaginable things they did to people innocent or guilty did not matter because it was politics and religion. Oh and the children they killed .. mind boggling. Normal in those days. We watch in horror but how much more was there that was never recorded?

And if not an Aristocrat you only lived to be 30, if you are lucky and most of your children died of illness if not all.

It made me think.

Electronic skin tattoo has medical, gaming, spy uses

I read about all the good uses, and thought his might help a lot of people, but then I saw the comments. I guess everything can be used for good or bad ... if you have time, please read the article and let me know what you think.

In a way I really don't mind having all my medical info right on me to scan and in an emergency they can have access about my seizures, medications I take and reactions to past medications. But I would also like to know the drawbacks. I would not want like a debit or a credit card on my skin or any information that can be stolen and used against me.

I really do, I especially love a nice spring rainy night or day and the smell of fresh air after the rain.

I also like the song! LOL

Wow this Wisconsin thing (and now IN thing) with Gov. Scott Walker is certainly interesting. It surely does not feel good when "someone" is messing with your career and pay check.

This is how we feel everyday. Pretty soon nothing will be safe anymore, or at least that how it looks how it is going to go.

Regular people should stop "talking politics" and fight for their economic survival. Because of all the very poor decisions the government made, I think people are now realizing how that affects them in their pocketbook.

You know what comes to mind ... and I do not know why ... A commercial I saw for frozen potato fries that you bake ... a perfect family (Pretty mother, Handsome father and a daughter and Son) it is shot in a very gorgeous house and they are all dressed very well and smiling with bright white smiles as the Mother talks about how they have to pay attention to their budget, as she pulls out the fries from the over and says "But my family does not have to sacrifice taste". LOL

Now if we all bake our fries at home we can book that vacay we always wanted :)

You know you are not my friend if ....


... you shove your agenda on others.
... you think you are better than others.
... you brag.
... you make fun of people.
... you abuse drugs.
... you abuse partners.
... you hate Christianity.
... you gossip.
... you are selfish.
... you believe in man made global warming.

Just keep on browsing past this journal.

I think I am over sensitive. I am really tired of seeing all the Christian slams on the net. all the hateful things being said back and forth.

Religion sects make rules and people who vow to follow those rules offer to God their service to practice (practice being a key word here) Christianity. What people's mistake is that the rules that the sects list IS Christianity and it is not. The rules put forth by each sect is their human interpretation of the bible and the bible was written by man inspired by God.

I happen to dis agree with my chosen sect lists of rules and am in the middle of being ex communicated from the sect I was born into and joined. This does not affect any of my Christian beliefs. And by Christian I mean what Christ has taught even his correction (actually changes due to the promise being delivered.) on the old law of the old testaments.

If a person cannot follow even one thing Christ taught as a guidance for us then how can they turn around and say what is good for others? One of the most important key pieces of advice from Jesus was to approach everyone in love no matter what. This advise was not to the immediate benefit for the person we approach but to ourselves so we can grow spiritually.

When I say Approach everyone in love I mean really, in your heart not just your speech and actions.


Personally I believe that we should take marriage back from governments and put them in our spiritual places we deem Holy. And the only form our unions should legally take is civil ones not matter if it is a man and a woman, two men or two woman.

bots are joining Live Journal!

So non humans are joining LJ and friending people, I am assuming it is the rash of Russian auto-frienders!

From here it all slides down the hill to a myspace type trouble (at least this is my guess).

Here is a 3 part post of synecdochic from LJ and their thoughts about LJ, Web 2.0 and why the need for ads. I think I understand more on why and what might be after reading all three posts.

I thought this article was interesting and seems to be happening to LJ. I don't want to sound like an alarmist, but I was never the one to really back up stuff and this week I plan on backing up all my graphics and family photos I have been storing in scrapbook.

Tomorrow 20 + "Monty Swords" are being delivered to my house.

Xiphophorus montezumae

Xiphophorus helleri

They are not mine, I ordered them for a friend. He is so excited!!! He and his wife are on a get away vacation. So that is why they are coming here. I get to watch these beauties for 3 days :)

There are not too many around my parts :(
