No I'm not talking about stoned as in herb. A story broke yesterday about an Iranian woman who was convicted of adultery (confessed through torture). Her sentence was to be buried up to the waist and stoned for a few hours (with rocks small enough to not kill her instantly). They were going to do this until she finally died but they wanted to torture her some more first.
An international outcry rang out across the internet and today they decided that they wouldn't carry out the sentence. I'm amazed by this actually, not because of the Old Testament style punishments. No I'm amazed that Iran didn't get smaller rocks after the international outcry, just to make it worse on her.
Here's the story:

Night Vision Monocular
This is a pretty cool deal. I've always wanted to be able to see in the dark. I've always thought that the technology was expensive. I didn't realize one could buy a night vision monocular for this cheap. It uses an infrared flashlight to illuminate the surroundings. IR isn't visible to the human eye so no one will see it. This means that the device can be used in a completely dark area. Some of the other devices use starlight and such to illuminate the environment. This one does not.
Newton NV Night Vision monocular Multicoated lenses With Built-in IR illuminator -- Great For Camping And Hunting
While I'm on the topic of product reviews, I'd like to say that I've been extremely impressed with my Seagate FreeAgent 500gb external drive. I have had a few external drives, and this one so far has been my favorite. It doesn't require an external power supply. It gets its power from the USB port. It's small, compact, and easy to carry around. It's almost unnoticeable in a laptop case. I recommend these things to anyone who wants to keep a backup of their pictures, music, videos, etc. They have more than enough room.

Hello, internets!
I'm a huge fan of Carl Sagan's work. I love the Cosmos TV series. I recently heard about a BBC television show called "The Wonders of the Solar System". I had to download them through torrents just to be able to watch them though because I can't view them on the BBC website. They are unavailable outside of the UK. This is why people pirate. If you want to watch something, it's sometimes the only way to get it. Here is a famous poetic clip that Sagan is well known for, entitled "The Pale Blue Dot":
Today was father's day, and it was also my wife's birthday. I told my wife that those two events canceled each other out, so we didn't need to get each other any gifts. I baked her a cake. It's day 62 of the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. I'm wondering if they'll ever get that plugged up. Amazingly enough, many people seem to be blaming President Obama for this disaster. Fox stooped to new lows today by making fun of Obama's pants and the way he dressed while visiting the beaches where oil is coming ashore.
Here is an awesome video of a tornado destroying a building. Unfortunately the person operating the camera did a terrible job.

New Portal 2 E3 Demo
If you haven't played Portal, it's a very cool game from Valve. Their new Steam engine can be used to buy and download it. I won't spoil the games storyline, but it's actually one of the coolest in any game I've played in a while.
I didn't play Portal when it came out. I just recently played it, because Valve was giving it away with their Steam engine. This was a promotional offer. One thing that it did was peak my interest in the sequel to Portal which is due to be released very soon. If you haven't tried out Portal, buy it. It's a rather cheap game at the moment, but it's very addicting. The sequel is set to be even better still. From what I've heard, it will incorporate multi-player online play modes.
Here is the video from E3 showing some gameplay from Portal 2:

HFCS and Dr.Pepper
If you've been keeping up with the latest health studies, researchers at Princeton University found that high fructose corn syrup causes rats to gain weight when the same amount (caloric) of sucrose did not. This is important for all of us soda drinkers. HFCS is the sweetener in most sodas presently. It was used as a replacement sweetener. Back in the old days, soda was made with real sugar. Some still are. For instance, Pepsi makes "Throwbacks" which are great. Also, there are Mountain Dew Throwbacks. Additionally, Jones Cola is made with pure sugar cane. Jones is pretty dang good.
My favorite soft drink has always been Dr. Pepper. I found out about 7 years ago that the original Dr. Pepper manufacturer still makes it with pure sugar cane. I didn't think to look for it till today. It's available online, although after shipping it's a bit expensive.
http://www.olddocs.com/product.aspx?id=174&up1=269&up2=274&up3=275&cat=Drinks&subcat1=Dr%20Pepper&subcat2=Made%20with%20Sugar
A case is $10, plus it's $5 shipping for each package. A package can contain up to two cases. So, for $25 you could get two cases (48 drinks). That's right at $0.50 each, which really isn't that bad compared to sodas out of a vending machine. To bad they don't have them at a store nearby. I'd buy as many as I could fit in the car.

ProNicheStore - An easy to use niche web site builder
I've been slow on my posts lately. This is why. I've been finishing up the development of a project that means a lot to me, ProNicheStore. I will be posting more about it as the days go on. Currently, I'm awaiting ClickBank approval for it. I've been waiting for many days too, so I'm not sure what's going on there.

Wednesday - March 10, 2010
Around 50% of those who would potentially read this blog are democrats. The other 50% are republicans. Now that's just a loose estimate, the numbers would probably be more like 45% on both sides with a few independents. My own personal political opinions really don't matter in either case, but there are at least a few things I've come to realize about politics.
1.) Social conservatives don't necessarily have the best morals. Now I'm not saying that social conservatives don't have morals. I'm saying that just because you are a social conservative doesn't guarantee that you are going to be a moral person. The media eats it up when a conservative turns out to be some thing estranged from the social conservative norm. For instance, a religious conservative minister who is also a pedophile or a republican senator who's extremely outspoken against gay marriage but turns out to be a homosexual.
2.) Fiscal conservatives aren't necessarily fiscally conservative. I've found that many of today's "fiscal conservatives" are only conservative in certain aspects of budgeting. They are more than willing to spend tax dollars. The difference seems to be the usefulness of what they spend money on. That is entirely your opinion, but as a fiscal conservative, I feel that if we ARE going to spend money, it should be in areas of science and research. We should not be involved in expensive wars. This isn't to say that we need to avoid wars or that we should be complete pacifists. We should go in, get the job done, and get out. We are coming up on 10 years of the war on terror. We've had the war on drugs for something like 30 years. I used to work in a drug rehab clinic. I think a better use of that "war on drugs" money would have been to use it to get people out of debt and help the poor. Because the truth of the matter is, there are tons of poor people who are depressed and use drugs as an escape or a way to make some extra cash. The war isn't working, it's time to try something else.
3.) Republicans generally don't believe in climate change. Science isn't right about everything, but the beautiful part of science is that it's peer reviewed and it is self-correcting. There is bad science, but the majority of it is actually tried and true. Climate change is much of a debate. Sure, it may not be as bad as some make it out to be, but the point to it all is raising global awareness. There are plenty of companies that stand to lose lots of money if new controls and regulations are put into place. Of course they are going to try everything in their power to curve these things. American conservatives need to stop letting corporations run this country.
4.) There's a lot of crazy coming from the right these days, which is disappointing because I'd love to be a republican. I'd love to be a conservative, because I'm rooted in rural life and simple living. I don't consider myself a liberal but I want nothing to do with the republican party.
5.) The parties just don't make much sense. The democratic are a party made up of people trying to make the government help the little guy, but they do so by creating a larger government that regulates its citizens more. They try to help the poor people, and a good portion of poor people are republicans. Then there's the republican party, made up of extremely rich businessmen and poor people. The party does everything it can to help the rich become more rich and the poor become more poor. If you don't think that's true, let's take a broad look at our economy.
Our economy is zero sum. In order for you to make it big in our country, someone else would have to lose. That's fine and dandy if you are poor and you take a small percentage of some rich guys wealth. At least now you don't have to resort to selling drugs, going to jail, and eating for free on taxpayer money. Our government is set up to make it easy for a poor person to better themselves. For the most part it still works. That is until these two parties get a hold of the system. The system has been changed back and forth over the years so much that it's working against itself.
It's hard to make money if you don't have it, but it's not impossible. Our system promotes individuals to strive for the American dream. This makes our citizens try real hard, with the promise that hard work will pay out in the end. The democrats and the republicans are both for bailing out large financial institutions and companies but neither have done the same thing for the little guy. Sure the republicans gave out $300 tax relief a couple of times, but thats not helping anyone. They could have given out much more than that just by using the money they used for the corporate bailouts.
It's a bit of a mess. Most citizens were against the bank bailouts, and yet both parties voted that through. That wasn't just the democrats. It was the republicans as well. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Even though the majority of people were against the bailouts, a demanding few called their representatives complaining about the chance of losing their entire retirement. No doubt, a part of this was orchestrated by the companies who were to receive the bailout.
So the representatives changed their votes and passed the bailout. Most of us were wondering what happened. Well we got screwed, that's what happened. Let's run through this a bit. We borrowed money from the Federal Reserve, at interest, to bailout these companies. That's taxpayer money that taxpayers have to pay back in interest. Well, we have to pay the interest to the Federal Reserve anyway. If the companies pay back the money, how do you think they will do so? That's right, extra cost to their customer. Their customers are taxpayers, who already have to pay for the bailout one time. The tax payer pays for this bailout twice.
Anyway, that's enough of my soapbox. Watching Jon Stewart does that to me. His show is a comedy show on Comedy Central called "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart", and his guests treat it like it's an actual news show. Though, to be honest, it has the best news coverage on TV in my book. This latest video I watched was Jon interviewing Marc Thiessen, the former speech writer for President Bush, about his new book.
What amazes me about the whole interview is just how weird some of Marc's opinions are to me. I'd be conservative if conservatives were fiscal conservatives and if they would lose some of the "crazy", because the republican party is getting more and more crazy lately. Sorry to offend any republicans out there, but the majority of you don't think about some of the ideas the party tries to sell to you through the media. It's scary for most rational thinking individuals who understand the concepts by which this country was founded. I disagree with much of the ideas from both parties, but the democrats don't seem as scary for some reason. Even with all the socialist and communist scare tactics from the 80's being used today.

As we get geared up for the weekend (though my weekend is just like part of my regular week), I am jamming to some tunes by an internet sensation, one Mr. Ronald Jenkees. Ronald was a YouTube phenomena. He created videos of his music and ended up being a hit. One of the things that set him apart was that he came across as a very weird almost mentally challenged personality.
After researching Ronald Jenkees a bit more, I found out that he's an act. He is really a guy name Ben Feltes. The Ronald Jenkees persona is a marketing experiment, and guess what...It worked. Ben had to find a way to set him apart from everyone else. His music is great, but there are a lot of great musicians out there. So he brought in the Ronald Jenkees character to grab everyone's attention. Since he had their ear, he could now play his music, and people ate it up.
Even after knowing that it's all an act, Ben's music is still something I listen to a lot. Here is a sample of his music from Youtube.
Other things I've found of interest today:
This video is just funny on so many levels:
Finally, this video isn't very funny. It's on the amazing side. It is a time lapsed video of Hawaii and the Milky Way as seen from there.

About three years ago, I gave up drinking. I still may have a drink every now and then but I don't drink regularly any more. It was really very easy to quit drinking. Through most of my twenties, I was a smoker and a drinker. I'm not proud or ashamed of it, that's just what I did. I knew that I would have to quit drinking before I could quit smoking. A beer just made me want a cigarette. So, I quit drinking first.
Like I said, quitting drinking was pretty easy. Smoking was a different story, altogether. Smoking is probably the nastiest habit I've ever had but it was the hardest to kick. I was able to do it with the help of a prescription drug called Chantix. It made quitting much easier.
Now there is a slight void in my life. I don't have any real vises. I am, however, developing one. I've started drinking coffee. I never thought I'd be a coffee drinker, but I've grown very fond of it, maybe too fond.
So, my link for this post is a coffee mug from Thinkgeek.

I like to watch the thirteen episodes of Cosmos from time to time. They are available on NetFlix streaming. Carl Sagan was a great story teller. I found that it is a very good way to relax. So much so that it is a sure-fire way to get my girls (3 and 4 yo) to go to sleep. They like to watch it but they just can't keep their eyes open.
Cosmos made my wife look for science sites. I decided to check out APOD (astronomy picture of the day) site. While I was looking through some of the latest pictures, I happened upon this one. It shows the space shuttle's dark side. It's quite beautiful. We won't be seeing much more of those craft. In a short time, they will be put out of service and we will be traveling to space by another means. I grew up in the 80s when they were still relatively new. I remember when the Challenger explosion happened. Prior to that event, the shuttle launches were a national event. When one was being launched, all three major networks were tuned in, just like when the president was giving a speech.After the Challenger explosion, it has been rare to see a launch televised. I wish they were still on. The good news is that we now have sites like YouTube.
I tried to see a shuttle launch in real life last year but missed it due to delays. They have a lot of those, so it's very difficult to be lucky enough to witness one, unless you live near Kennedy Space Center.
We were staying in Cocoa Beach for two weeks but weren't able to see it. I did get to see the previous shuttle mission coming in, however. We stood on the beach and watched the shuttle come in on the back of a jet. That was a pretty cool experience itself.
