What is the best way to diminish the police presence?

Tuesday, January 17th, 2006

I can't tell you how many times I hear the words "fuck the police" and "i hate cops" in a month.. but it's quite a few; a significant enough number that it really does make me believe that people are rather uncomfortable with the police presence in this country - or maybe it's just this [...]

No Uniforms, No Belts - No Respect?

Thursday, January 12th, 2006

There is a real air of disrespect in the martial arts community for those who do not wear the traditional martial arts uniform and a belt. I didn't really entirely realize it until recently when I was watching a Dan Inosanto video and he talked about his early martial arts experiences. One of [...]

The Errors Realized

Thursday, January 12th, 2006

The errors of my parents' generation till mine have yet to be fully realized. Mindless television, poor eating habits, poor resource management and lack of physical activity will likely soon be fixed as younger generations watch fifty years worth of people suffer through their faults. But what things will we see? Healthy [...]

Imbalance

Digg needs AJAX on story writing page

Wednesday, January 4th, 2006

I think digg should have AJAX on its story writing page. Almost every time I submit a story I end up with one that doesn't have the same url, but has already been submitted via a different url. This is quite annoying when I take the time (sure it may only be a [...]

OH YEAH@#*(&!"

Sunday, January 1st, 2006

So. Lots of cool things happening lately. I've started on some old projects finally and I think I'll be progressing them rather swiftly soon here. I've been having fun with design lately - which is new because for the last few months I've actually been rather pissed with it.
I've got some really [...]
