DRM for you and i

If you havn't yet heard, Steve Jobs the head of Apple inc wrote in an article that appeared on the apple.com website about the current state of affairs in the online music business and how drm (the thingy put on music files that makes it worthless by not letting you play it where and when you want to) is bad for the industry. The interesting part is what the RIAA responded with, which was just alot of crap about how they are the important ones because if we really tried (we as in the computer companies) we could accomplish so much even go as far as having software recognize music that is pirated and have it not be played by the music player. Completely forgetting that the consumer has the power. How can we go around this dilemma? Corporations are fucking us over with all this proprietary crap. if we can support an open format for everything... not just music but for programs we could advance the state of affairs by having an open market where the innovative survive and the dumb die.

im curious

To see what our ever connected generation will do when they hit the corporate world.
One example of this is our very own Mark Zuckerberg. He started the internet company facebook and is now defying the very people who at one time were in his position. Our generation has never been with out the instant access to wikipeda, google, and other places of vast information. Now with the advent of epaper we wont even have the problem of ever carrying too many books. all of them will be stored in a neat notepad sized device capable of one day connecting to the internet, read books (with the clarity of the books today) and make calls.
This is the mythical device everyone is trying to make but i have yet to see any one device that makes it even remotely possible to do any of these things right.
I might have to take it into my own hands and go against the giants in the industry. David vs Goliath... but i dont even have rocks.

boy

What if i live my life being the best person i can be and then in the end im sent to hell because i wasn't a Christian? Will this ever kind and compassionate god not like me because i didn't follow along with his teachings (or whatever us humans made his teachings out to be)? It seems a little to contradictory to be preaching compassion and turning the other cheek when according to the bible if i dont live my life as a good christian i will be shunned to a eternity of painfull suffering. I suppose it wont be that bad... i mean i'll be among the greats! What about science. There was a time when god did provide an explanation for everything. why does this happen? GOD! why does that happen? GOD! but now we have science explaining everything even the things people dont really want to know. but for their own good must know!
Ignorance is bliss... but how much bliss can a country take with out becoming ignorant of its responsibility to the world?
When will we realize that he isn't coming (and its kinda strange for those women who believe in this, that god just so happens to be a MAN! of all things a man. I have to say that for the women who live in our society if it wasn't for the liberals of the past we would NEVER have come to equal terms. it is because of science that you have been liberated! no through religion.) and start acting accordingly?
its a shame that we act as if its all going to end soon and that people need to be prayed for. NO NEED. DONT PRAY! ACT. do something to change what ever it is you seem to think is wrong!
DONT JUST SIT THERE AND SAY... OH BOY IM GOING TO PRAY FOR HIM!
in order to change things we need action.
BUT who am i just sitting here preaching about action when im scared shitless about the most mediocre things!

Today

Was fun.

England

I think i might just sell my car, my stock, and everything i own to move to England. Just on a impulse. See what that feels like. Meet new people.
We'll see.
New obsession.
the kooks.

Life

Highschool sucks. Life begins after high school.
I was with a couple of acquaintances the other day and they began re mensing on the good old days of high school. It was not a very happy time for me, quite the contrary i had a few good friends and at the beginning of my senior year they all up and leave. Two drop out and the third moves up north. The best year in life and im alone, so i did what i know how to do. i began reading and listening to music almost obsessively.
College began and for once the skills that i had learned began to be use full. i was alone most of the time people came and went and all were minding they're own business. So i did what any other kid at the time would do. Buy and ipod and a shit load of books.
I didn't care much about people at that time. then during the winter break one of my friends who had dropped out, began hanging out with me.
I am reading the blind clockmaker, by Richard Dawkins. Its an amazing book. A very interesting description on evolution.

Lost Thought and Green Eyes.

The common misconception that all humans are made equal is evidently false. Everyday we see things and act according to what would make for a better chance of survival, in the evolutionary sense. Because tall people are more likely to be better at fighting they are more likely to have children, because smart people think of ways to improve upon their lives they are more likely to survive.
Im curious as to how many Einsteins would have been born in the 21st century if the church hadn't murdered most of the free thinkers? But if they were free thinkers then they must have had been smart enough to know not to make themselves known. Which is why today we have so many smart people with no way of expressing themselves. Throughout history it would have been seen as a disadvantage for a smart person to have expressed themselves in ways like this. The mere act of defending something an idea, would have gotten them killed.
This only shows how much affect, us humans have on the natural selection process. I was browsing the Darwin awards the other day and its sad that some people have come this far with half a brain.
Genes. its all to do with genes. My dad has great genes. my mother does not. on my moms side its riddled with poor eye sight, lazyness, and a general lack of inteligence. Whereas on my fathers side, we have great doctors, speakers, tall people, green eyes. It doesn't help me that my mom smoked cigarettes when i was in her womb. i joke with her saying imagine how much smarter i would be if you wouldn't have smoked.
Just imagine. but im not complaining i've been given a decent brain, a decent body, and a defective pair of eyes. Where would i be if things had been but a bit different. i know that a minor change in history could have had catastrophic affects on this day and age.
I could have just as easily not existed as you. So i cherish every moment of it. or at least i try to.

Someone.

If there is no god then the connection we feel with other people is the only we have that is worth while. Then why cherish it. but i have no one yet to cherish anything with. Here is where its nice to know some one has your back. In times of despair I have no one. thats if I dont believe in god. but do I? I don't know. i toss and turn wondering if this, my only life is going to shit because I'm afraid. I mean if everything is just random and has no meaning then how do i know i'll ever be happy. isn't that the goal of life. be happy? if its not then i was given the wrong book to read.

hahahahahah

Im a born again Atheist.

Dogday Afternoon

Is there anything worth fighting for anymore?
Any war that is essentials to the survival of the human species?
The war against famine, disease, and poverty.
We should educate all women in the world (cause it seems they have the potential to actually bring about a positive change within one generation) and because guys well they fight and bicker and shoot. whereas women reason (or so we're trained to believe these things.)
Lets break it down.
if a teenage woman is educated she is less likely to have unprotected sex then men (just the facts boys. sorry)
But say they do have a child because the mother is in most cases the main source of information and learning then whatever the mother knows, the child will be brought up knowing.
so essentially guys suck. girls rule.
but remember girls. with out guys, you wouldn't have a bra to wear!
wait no. im wrong.
We invented the post-it notes. HA!

Be nice, sincire and

live life, one coldplay song at a time.
or copeland for that matter.
:)

ouch

today has become my most painfull day of the year. today while riding my bike i noticed some dirt on the bottom part of my top tube and im there listening to a lecture on Emotion on my ipod, eyes on the road hand cleaning the dirt off. next thing you know my thumb gets caught in the f*ing tire and i stop feeling my finger... so there i am looking around hoping no one has seen this lack of intelligence on my part. luckly for me no one was around not even a single car on the oh so busy silver strand.
so now im hope. 30 miles done for today and in a bit of pain. ima go to sleep.
night

Math & Science

I have beautiful ideas in my head but all that comes out are ugly words.

Seriously.

People move the word. People like you and me. The only difference between then and us is that they're doing something they're passionate about. Otherwise they wouldn't be doing it. Find what your passionate about and give your life to it. Don't give up even if you fail.

Fusrr. How I learned to stop caring and live with myself.

Well the title pretty much says it all... today is a wierd day.
