My Car Broke Down…. YES!!!!!!

I know, normally one wouldn’t be happy about experiencing such things.

But, since I just spent the last week and a half on a 2000 mile plus sojourn to Gig harbor Washington and back, including the drive down the spectacular but very-far-from-civilization Coast highway 101 from Washington to California, well…. Lets just say that having my alternator go out here at home versus… Out There…. Somewhere….

Yeah…. I’m pretty happy about that!

Plus, my alternator was under warranty.

PS. Here is just one of the pics of the gorgeous scenery I past by. This is in Washington,  somewhere south of Aberdeen, on the first evening of the trek home.

The Gay Patriot Wars Cont. – NO PERSONAL ATTACKS!!!! (unless you are one of the conservative pigs)

This morning, just for the heck of it, I decided to check in on a certain site to see what is going on. On one post, a familiar liberal named Kevin writes this comment:

1. Oh yes, along with those others great laws and bills waiting to become law – limitations on voting, taxation without representation, poll tax, establishment of state religion, no basic standards for teachers, make the display of female nipples illegal (arrest nursing mothers?).It also seems that, statistically, there’s a good chance that members of the gay community would be likely felons: In Mecklenburg county alone, there are about 35,000 gun permits. About 65% of that number includes convicted felons.Seems that sign makers will certainly benefit from this new law. If the bill passes with the “unless posted” provision, you can be sure that a large majority of public facilities and businesses will be posting those signs. That’s what happened when places like Ohio passed similar laws.

In keeping with the tradition of issuing personal attacks on the drop of a hat, NDT, the guy who accused me of wanting Gay Patriot author Dan Blatt to kill himself, predictably writes:

1. Unfortunately, we’re already aware of the fact that Kevin and his “progressive” ilk malicious liars who have admitted they will say and do anything to character-assassinate and destroy political opposition.So since you and your fellow leftists have already stated you support lying to smear others, Kevin, who cares what you say? We also know you’re sexual perverts thanks to Filner and Weiner, so we should just treat you as sociopathic potential rapists.

And before Kevin can even respond to the first personal attack:

1. Also, notice how the desperate liar Kevin runs away when challengedThat’s because liberals and “progressives” like Kevin are sick, sociopathic liars who don’t care about truth, don’t care about facts, and don’t care about anything other than getting government power.

   Their sick lies are shown in Kevin’s rant. No links, no facts, just cut-and-paste lies from leftist hate groups like BlueprintNC that openly advocate assassination of opposition politicians and supporters.

   Conservatives need to wake up. Liberals like Kevin are unhinged and psychotic individuals who, as they’ve shown with their reaction to the Zimmerman trial, advocate killing jurors, judges, law enforcement officials, and anyone who does not allow them to carry out their racist hate lynchings. Their Barack Obama ENCOURAGES them to carry out these death threats.

And so it goes. The authors of the blog that says it has this policy:

Remember that the people under discussion are human beings. Comments that contain personal attacks about the post author or other commenters will be deleted. Repeated violators will be banned. Challenge the ideas of those with whom you disagree, not their patriotism, decency, or integrity.

Will no doubt ignore it.

It is funny too, because one of the comments made in another blogpost says this:

V the K — that’s because rules are for other people, not Democrats. It’s also why they are terrified of Voter ID (it will prevent them from stealing elections).

Sigh.

PS. For those not aware of my battles and pleading with the admins of Gay Patriot to actually enforce their own stated policy, the background is here and here.

PPS. And yes, that is an Animal Farm reference.

Long Time No Bloggy!

It hasn’t been all that long, but it does feel like it’s been a while.

I’ve been traveling for the last week +. For much of that time I was staying at a cabin in the Lake Wenatchee area of Washington state. It was beautiful, but there was no internet at all, so I couldn’t blog about it or anything else on my vacation. I did bring my rooted android phone with me, rooted for the express purpose of tethering to my laptop in case there was no wifi signal, but AT&T coverage sucks in WA – my family, those that live in the state all have Verizon and can make calls anywhere it seems. There was no signal at all where I was…. Surprise!  Not.  So I couldn’t blog even if I wanted to.

Today is going to be very busy catching up on work and I doubt there will be time to write much of anything. But I will do a post in the next couple of days to reflect on my little summer adventure.

Racism…. It’s Not Always What You Think, Even When It’s There.

I have argued with many of my liberal friends that George Zimmerman was not a racist. I stand by that opinion.

That said…. I think he should have gotten a guilty verdict, because in my opinion, when Zimmerman stepped out of the truck to pursue Martin, the “stand your ground” law became moot. But I was not on the jury.

I was also not on this jury.  I can almost excuse the Zimmerman verdict.

But there is no way to explain this one.

This, my friends is what institutional racism looks like.

Goodbye To A Friend… A Bass Type Friend!

Aldo II is gone…  Sold to a guy up north.

It’s a sacrifice that had to be made for both the tax man, and for the new business. zi’m certain there will be more sacrifices to be made in the future.

My New Company Acoustic Frames… One Step Closer To Existence!!!!!

So, I’m in the process of launching a new company call Acoustic Frames.

I’ve been building a few prototypes to see what works and what doesn’t. The first one I built a few weeks ago was not very good. This new one featured below is the second prototype. It turned out much better. There are still some design changes to be made, but we’re getting closer to a presentable product.

The final product won’t be white, as that shows dirty to easy. Also, this is not the final dimensions of the illustration area. It’s going to be longer. The image on their now is one of my old “Frogonit” Tee-Shirts, a project I started right after I graduated from college in 92, but never really pursued it once I got some shirts printed. I just lost interest in the whole idea. We didn’t have the internets back then, and I didn’t have anywhere to sell the tee-shirts but at swap meets. Many of the shirts ended up being gifted to friends.

Anyway.  Here is the second Acoustic Frame prototype. Hope to have another closer to what the final production model built tomorrow.
