It’s alive!!!! (Server is back up :)

They’ve restored my webserver.

There should be quite a bit more content pumped in over the next few days, but I don’t want to overload the daily posts.
Stay tuned and have a great weekend!

Keyboard Courage…

I am watching Hurricane Ike like a hawk. Why?

…real simple…loved ones are down there (and not so far away I may add).

I am also reading up on commentary from people getting out of the way who are blogging, and also seeing some keyboard cowboys whose opinions just make me sick.

Look, if at any time, you feel the actions by people so courageous that they stay and face disaster to help others and protect their homes is so stupid that their loss is a benefit to the gene pool…keep it to yourself. It’s the indifference of men that make us fail, and the opinions of asshats that exhibit nothing more than Keyboard Courage – that is – something you say online that you would never have the balls to say to someone’s face with the same tone. It is YOU who are the genetic baggage of the world. The rest of us take part in it. You may continue working so hard at trying to justify why you’re hiding away in front of a keyboard when millions of people are in trouble.

If i wasn’t in my office working right now I would already be down there helping, and there is a strong chance I may still go down there to help.

Many of these people that are so “foolishly” staying in the path of destruction have been instructed to do so or are staying on behalf of others.

So when you generically tell someone they are stupid for facing dangers. STFU before I slap your parents for having you.

…on that note…work is done and I am out of here. Take care all.

The Girl Effect.

Every once in a while, people get a good idea and present that idea in a manner that makes you really think. In some cases, it makes one wish to change, sometimes change themselves…the world…something….and usually for the better. The short little movie below isn’t eye-catching…it’s thought provoking because it’s simple and realistic. Please visit The Girl Effect to see what it’s all about.

FYI, I don’t get as much time to read and research and surf this stuff as one might think. So on the note, the credit for this provocation of thought goes to a dear friend. So if someone reading this moves forward, learns something new, or changes their day just a smidgen upon reflection, it’s because that dear friend knew I would do the same 😉 Give credit where credit is due, and hopefully change the world in baby steps 😉
