This is someones experiment and just for the heck of it I decided to get involved.  So once again. brrreeeport.  :)

I haven't posted much for the last few days.   I've been working on some software I'm writing and doing trouble shooting for some people with their SQL and internet apps.  The good thing is I'm getting a lot of good information together to build my own DNN tech reference that I'll be posting here at some point.   Anyway I'll look for something interesting to post. :) 

With all of the recent Cartoon publishing and Embasy burning going on you wouldn't really expect any good news to come out of it.  But the flag making business is booming (so to speak) right now.  It's got one flag maker worried about the safty of their products when burning.

For safety reasons we don’t recommend that you burn our flags, but if you absolutely MUST, please do so with due regard to those around you. Polyester fabric melts when put to the flame and will spatter high-temperature droplets of molten polyester if swung around.

For a more interesting article check out the Brusselsjournal.com site.

This is also going to be the last entry dealing with the whole thing. 

This is pretty cool! I'm a guitar player or I should say I'm kind of a guitar player.  Here is a new device being shown as Demo 2006 called the iGutar.  It's a normal electric guitar but instead of plugging into an amp you plug in a USB cable to your MAC.  All of the effects are run through your computer and sent out of your computer speakers.  The best part though is every string is an individual USB channel so you can control individual notes.  This also lets you transcribe sheet music on the fly.  Sweet! 

More proof that this is more of a political issue than a religious issue. It was the Islamic Imams that were the ones who included the offensive cartoons by their own admission. This would be like the Pope spreading rumors that Jesus was married to the press. And it's a sure way for the Imams to get their people all aggravated.

It seems the the Government of Norway caved in straight away to the Muslim extremist and apologized immediately after one of there papers run the cartoons.  Didn't help though as one of their embassies was torched right along with a danish one.  This isn't really a religious issue.  It's just a bunch of terrorists with their own agendas hiding behind Islam.  Sad really. Read this article on The Brussels Journal.  It is even running a cartoon of Jesus and no one is burning anything because of it.

Here they are.  Towards the end of the post and before all of the comments are all of the cartoons that have the middle east up in arms.  Probably the most up in arms people I've ever heard of.  The Brussels Journal.

As soon as I can find one I'm going to get it.  The Sony e-Reader is nice,  It uses e-Ink, is just about the size of a normal paperback book  and is much more portible.  I tried reading e-books before but the screens just way to small on my PDA.

The e-Reader will be much nicer if they get all of the different book formats right and not make it some Sony only specification.

This is a very cool video that shows you what your hard drive is up to while is working away pulling all the files for you to work with. Visible Harddrive.
