Perspective

Weezer - Say It Ain't So - Undone - Pork And Beans





Jewsih New Year 08

I wear hats often these days and I wear them low. It projects an unimposing image which I like. It also gives my eyes just enough space with which to study my surroundings. This way my body is a defensive front that I use to get my worldly studies done. I find myself merging to the left so as to follow the herd as more sheep flow in from the right. It seems people are down winded and nervous about things in the days of late. What with a disastrous collapse of our largest banks ya cant really blame em. The way I describe it is simple. Back when everyone you knew in the mortgage biz lost their jobs we all thought it was bad, strange and unamerican for such a thing to happen. Ye we thought it was bad until such things as scale and scope are thrust in our face as was done with this financial tsunami over Wall St recently. Ker less really. Having lived 27 years im starting to see things fitting into place as a toddler might with those toys where you use triangular, square or circular pieces and match them with their respective holes. Beginning to fit things are. I'm told that when I write I sound like Yoda but I think Yoda just sounds wise. I think lazy people take comfort in the fact that the economy has gone to shit and use it as a tool with which to be lazier. Sharks come out during these times and some can benefit much from these idle and frazzled lil ones. More so then ever I have begun to speak slowly, I choose my words with precision and I try to be very concise with them. Dont know exactly why this is but I imagine its a result of many yrs marketing. Its good I guess, no one likes a rambler. Riss is now an associate consulatant @ my firm and I hope that she realizes the opportunity and potential given her. Other than all that its really cool being home for the holidays, not being in a foreign land as I was last year or even worse being in jail. Again, having lived thus far, having been pricked by these thorns here and there I surmise motion and stillness will lead to this dudes demise...

Interesting Note Bout Climate Change And What Google Is Doing About it

At Grist.org they have a saying about climate change: "A frog in water doesn't feel it boil in time. Dude, we are that frog."

It isn't very Googley to stand on the sidelines – whether the challenge involves search, apps, or clean energy. So we're working to be part of the solution. Specifically, we have embraced the challenge of developing a gigawatt of renewable electricity that is cheaper than electricity from coal – in years, not decades.(We call it REC. Not only is it a cool, nerdy name for the project, it breaks HTML pages everywhere.) - Damnit, it even broke mine...GR

In ten years, we envision a cleaner, greener world -- running on wind, solar, and steam - with clean cars plugged into a clean grid. But for that vision to become real, the technologies to power it will have to be economically competitive -- otherwise they won't scale. So we are focusing much of our effort on technology innovation to drive down the costs of key renewable technologies. We are fundamentally optimists -- we believe that when innovative people focus on the right problems, they can find solutions. And when renewable energy is cheaper than fossil-based alternatives, and when plug-in hybrids are as cheap as traditional cars, they will take off in the marketplace. Source: Google Blog

Ripple

These days I take hold of my dogs leash, jump on my board and get propelled by my best friend/infinite MPG engine. He likes to try and pounce on every squirrel around. He stalks to get close and then rips towards them, never catches em but still its a good time to watch. Ripple Van Winkle...
The days of late have been mixed with good things business wise and also in respect to my Upstate case. Cant say anything specific but things are looking better than they did a month and a half ago.
Interestingly, Im beginning to feel as though im flowing in unison with the things around me. This is good. Been reading a lot, Last Kabbalist Of Lisbon, Mind Alive and also about that cocksucker Goerbells. Just lovin the knowledge that I seep.

The Legend Biggie - Who Shot Ya - Warning

Take notice how raw Biggie used to rap. There were no masks on this fat blunt fuck.
He made the vid below while Tupac was still in the hospital recovering from being shot while recording here in Brooklyn. Biggie had feuded with him for a long while before and was in the same building as were his friends. Biggie is speaking directly to 2pac in this song.

Retarded

We don't have the money to wipe out poverty. We can't do it. But all of a sudden, yeah, we do have $700 billion for a bailout of Wall Street." Source: DemocracyNow.org

Google To Escape US Laws By Way Of Water-Based Data Centres... On Barges.

Google may take its battle for global domination to the high seas with the launch of its own “computer navy”.
The company is considering deploying the supercomputers necessary to operate its internet search engines on barges anchored up to seven miles (11km) offshore.
The “water-based data centres” would use wave energy to power and cool their computers, reducing Google’s costs. Their offshore status would also mean the company would no longer have to pay property taxes on its data centres, which are sited across the world, including in Britain. Source: TimesOnline
