Internet Censorship - Should It Happen?

The idea of censoring the astounding community driven world on the web. The one place where people can speak their mind not be challenged or questioned, except by others in an independent press. To try and censor the one place people can be who they choose, act how they decide and speak there mind without fear of retribution because it is a medium that is society based, of countless independent authors sharing there thoughts and knowledge with the world.

Christmas Card ~ Aborted via Vimeo

[Aborted] Christmas Card from FLIMEMA on Vimeo.

At the start of December, I spent a couple of afternoons making this. Although I never finalized that final segment, I soon thought of something better to inflict on you at Christmas (which is posted here: vimeo.com/8370390).

SOUND & MUSIC:

A great video, some fun with it, and will come about with a surprise, since really soon as this next day passes Christmas will be over seems that this was a good one for the close of the holiday that is Christmas.

Best Travel Stories ~ Quotes And Inspiration

In the Shadow of Fabled Timbuktu lies the medievel tow of Djenne, and every child's fantasy: heres the most colossal mud pie in the world rises from the desert. The Djenne Mosque is 12,000 square feet and built entirely of sand and sticks. Its tan minarets reach for the clouds like arems oustretched in prayer. Six steps, symbolizing the transition from profane to sacred, lead into the mosque. Centuries of monsoons have somehow spared this house of Allah. As I am admiring the holy sandcastle a teenager with a crutch approaches. In flawless English he announces, "My name is Toka. I would like to show you around, May I?" I haven't heard a word of English in two weeks. "Follow Me," he offers, his bright smile illuminating his dark face like a crescent moon. (Chapter 1)

New & Improved Sites & Information


WordPress

Is a new medium that has a bit more interesting options then Blogger which is
why I decided to go with it for the moment...



Also the ease of redirection as I guess you can also do with Blogspot
via Blogger
seems to make good sense to me, So I took the proper steps in this new
direction and begin setting up blogs at Word Press and yet I wonder if
it is similarly how it went with Blogspot, mutliple blogs on multiple
subjects, that are worked on every now and again. So Really I need to
look at that aspect of the circumstance.



Currently Writing;



from within Word Press as we speak while self hosting:
Referencing OpenSource to
Third World Countries
and other notes as mentioned.

Governor Of California formerly Known As Terminator Signs Bill without Budget.

SACRAMENTO -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has decided to make an exception to his pledge that he would veto or avoid signing bills before lawmakers reach agreement on a state budget.
From KSBW TwitterFeed

Although this is a blog for bicycling I figured I would share something I was just made aware of today, that even without a budget the Governor of California signed a bill. Maybe not that exciting but it is what the bill is in reference to that relates to Bicycling or at the very least Alternative Transportation. This bill is the first step in putting the first leg down of a 700 mile transit system that would link Californias major cities at speeds in excess of 199 mph. A high speed rail system designed to decrease the cars on the road. That in itself can be a very important part of the entire process don't you think? As those who bicycle regularly can say, that less cars means a better experience when cycle commuting. In commuting by Human Powered Vehicle, to get from point A to point Z.

Though on the other hand, if more are using a high speed train system would that mean less would ride a bike or more in line with what usually occurs according to the many bicycle commuters who play an active role in BikeForums who often speak of using a combination of Public Transit and there own Human Powered System can get anywhere they need to go without the cost of driving a car. In that sense an improvement on the Public Transit system can be a great addition to the repertoire of using Alternative Transport to travel point to point while saving the environment.

What are some of your thoughts, how do you feel about that and your own views on improvements of Public Transit to increase usage of Alternative Transportation?

SOHH Site Hacked

SWhat kind of stupidity gives a person a reason to return to the prejudices once thought lost and gone, prejudice today it seems even if thought to have been emancipated still exists. It is a sad Story to say the least, there is much growth we as a society must do to insure awareness of the diversity of our civilization. To explore prejudice as it stands today.

The Experiences Now

So many hours have passed and many a day has passed since I entered anything here. How is everyone? Hope all is well, it has been so long because of the time of mourn, for that lost kitten. Things have improved immensely since then, remarkably so. The writings on Helium are coming together the domain is looking better as each day passes. The hours I am spending though sometimes amaze me. You ever start working on a project wanting to get it done? Most Certainly I have and that is what I am doing now the situation is more or less, to keep it under control. Spending less time with processes and getting things done. Besides the blogs, the site, I have also added additional videos to my youtube account and found meta cafe. Along with the many resources available on the wonders of the world wide web.

To say I have my hands full is an understatement, besides life's challenges I continue to grow. I Focus Forward in my life because it makes sense to get it done.
Also added some additional Photos of my vehicle. To Ride is to Exist, So I Ride On!



Even started delving into x64 Software, remarkable how much more is out there now when I decide to focus on my objective to learn something new each day. Don't you agree?

So that is the story for now thanks for your patience, and more to come in the weeks and months ahead. Any comments drop em. I will do my best to respond.
