The Birds
Was waiting to get into the Ryman and saw this amazing Cumulonimbus and also saw a perfect set up - Pinnacle to the left, tree, and Cumulonimbus - so equipped with my mobile phone (no recording devices or cameras were allowed for the Bill Maher show) I snapped one, saw the birds flying through, and thought they ruined the shot. So I took another one. But decided this one was better. I love the gracefulness of the birds. You can see several of them in various stages of flight. I am quite happy with the way it turned out. Best viewed large.

Came across this so I would like to pass it on.
New mobile phones have been called “the Internet in your pocket,” but they’re not. Through exclusive deals for phones like the iPhone and BlackBerry Storm, wireless companies have curtailed innovation, crippled applications, and stuck users with the bill. We demand the freedom to use our phones as we choose — on wireless networks that offer true high-speed Internet and real consumer choice.

And then I would go on to write whatever. Maybe I will channel my inner geek and start it up again.

Tired and going to bed. How things change. Yeah I am out of shape but I am also a night owl. That data is is from South Nashville, where its slightly hotter than here at home.
Going to fall asleep to some Aphex Twin again. I don't remember a single dream at all but if I could Lucid Dream and listen to the Selective Ambient Works, Vol, 2 (of which I highly recommend) I bet the dreams would be awesome.
See ya on the other side.

Turquoise Hexagon Sun
Was browsing around and came across this video. I remember seeing this film years and years ago. A brilliant marrying of the original concept of the film and one of my all time favorite songs.
The film is called Koyaanisqatsi and its from 1982. Its been so long since I have seen the film that I can't even remember the original music that went with it. But I do remember the powerful message that it gave. Sad how not many have listened to it since the film was released.

File under WTF!?
Clear Channel included "What a Wonderful World" on a list of songs that might be inappropriate for airplay in the period just after the September 11, 2001 attacks.

People who do not deserve to have kids - issue 5
AP story :( (boo)
Basically a woman was confronted by a loss prevention officer at Wal Mart and the dumb bitch threw the baby -car seat and all- at the guy and ran away, whereby the baby landed face down and was knocked unconscious.
(would have really loved to republish the story but the AP are dickheads and won't allow it without getting sue-happy, sorry)

Getting our soldiers killed
I heard about a report some time ago of some moron in the army making a personal crusade of his deployment to Afghanistan. I was mad but didnt think much of it. Then I got to thinking that this kind of behavior is what is going to harm our troops overseas. The whole fight to the radicals is religious, do you really want to bring that kind of fight to them?
The idiot in question is called LTC Gary Hensley.
Background
The man goes on Al Jazerra and says this lovely gem:
No sir. your business is to obey the orders of the president of the United States, and to obey the orders of the officers above you. Not to inflame the already radical Muslims in Afghanistan by going on Al Jazerra and spouting such nonsense.
You have some religious nuts in the army who will do this on their own accord, against Central Command General Order No. 1. Yes we have rules for a reason people not because we are just hard asses. Your actions are going to pour gasoline on to the fire that is radical Islam. The troops say thank you.

"The special forces guys -- they hunt men basically," Hensley said. "We do the same things as Christians, we hunt people for Jesus. We do, we hunt them down. Get the hound of heaven after them, so we get them into the kingdom. That's what we do, that's our business."

Little
I may be little and can't decide where I stand on politics but when it comes to religion, I am never too little to have my religion decided for me by my parents.
