The fact that any amount of poison in food is legal is criminal. Feeding farm animals anything other than what the would normally eat should be a serious concern.

I should also mention that I don’t care how much it costs to raise a pig, cow, or chicken because I don’t really eat them regulalrly. Food should provide nourishment without polluting the body of the consumer.

After you check out the link to the article take a moment to reflect. Then ask this question…If the hacker knew that his work could potentially have a damaging impact on the PS3, why did he publish it on his blog? If he doesn’t want his technique to aid piracy why was it published for all to read? I don’t see the logic.

If a person has done something that could be potentially harmful, why would they tell everyone? This fellow said, “I hate that it enables piracy.” You sir are the enabler! The ability you have to manipulate electronics is astounding, but if you know it would enable piracy why would you publish it on a blog for all to see?

This is a tough issue because on one hand users should be able to make their own games if they choose. However, if making your own game includes the knowledge of pirating others it becomes a matter of ethics, right?

For the past several days – well nearly a week – I’ve been visiting family in Fort Wayne, Muncie, and Louisville. Everything seems pretty much the same as it was when I moved to Vancouver in late July. Currently we are hanging out in Muncie awaiting the arrival of our new niece, who is due to make her arrival any day now. Hopefully we will get a chance to meet her before returning home next week.

This is a track from a friend’s record. I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to play a little frame drum.

The record is called The Ornithopter by Nathan Fox! The tune is called “Aerial Photography: Part 2”

You will be mesmerized by this record! It is truly one of kind. I love it!

I’ve recently decided that if I’m going to be a musician with a blog it is necessary to have a page for my own recordings. I hope you have as much fun listening to these tunes as I did making them.

I happened to come across this story in the Vancouver Sun. As I read the article I thought wow a person on a bicycle getting hit really sucks. It really does suck. I hope the cyclist was not injured too badly and makes a quick recovery.

About halfway down the page an eye witness to the accident said ” From what I saw the bike came off the sidewalk in front of the motorcycle”.

Riding your bike on the sidewalk is not cool especially if you plan to randomly transition to the street from time to time.

I wish all people safe travels no matter what the method of travel is chosen.

Zero-emission race vehicle collides with cyclist in Vancouver.

If you could make it easier to understand how your program is supposed to work or at least make the user interface more intuitive for a person like me that would be great.

Until then….

I’ll break my document into sections using the Insert Menu – Break- Section Break (New Page) command for each section. Then I’ll do the same thing for the first page of each section that does not require a page number. I’ll make sure that the sections are not linked by clearing the Link to Previous check box in the formatting palette. (Although, that should really be a preference when creating a header as the formatting palette dialogue box doesn’t open automatically.) Next I’ll enter the correct number on the second page of each section. Last I’ll delete the garbage that was left in the upper left hand corner of the first page of each section that was left in there because the Link to Previous check box is turned on by default when a new section is created and a new header is being added.

Is there a way that would be more direct? Am I crazy?

A note to my colleagues. Formatting a dissertation will take less time if you for some reason feel like searching internet forums, chatting with computer savvy people, and just poking around for two days before you try to apply anything to a large document.

Update: If you want to hear some of the session you need to become a member ofwww.vibesworkshop.com. It’s free to be a member. It’s a great website dedicated to playing the vibraphone. Even if you don’t play vibes it is a great place to find new music!

OR

If you really don’t want to do that you can send me an email.

This afternoon I have a session with a flautist and a guitarist. It is a pretty interesting combo, but perhaps a little unusual. The last time we had a session I forgot to take my digital recording device. However, I plan to record the session today. Check back later for links to the session.

Being a pedestrian in a new city has brought my dislike of cyclists using the sidewalk to a new level. After nearly being run over by a cyclist while walking on the sidewalk, I was asked what my problem was. I simply stated,”its a sidewalk not a side ride” and went on about my business. If you want to ride a bike it should be on the street. If you are on the sidewalk with your bike I request that you dismount and walk. If you feel unsafe riding your bike – especially on freaking Main Street in Vancouver – because traffic is nuts maybe an alternative route should be selected.
