Halloween is one of my favorite times of year! I’ve always loved to dress up for Halloween, I guess that’s why I ended up in theatre, and later doing stuff with the Renaissance Festivals around here. It allows me to dress up and be a pirate year round! Well almost year round Halloween still has a special place though, I get to be as silly as I want and dress as crazy as I can imagine for the holiday.

I had the most fun during Halloween when I was a teenager though. Trick or Treating sort of passed away by this point, but the real fun began! Getting to dress up in Teen Halloween Costumes is much more fun that what Halloween Costume Stores have for little kids. Going to costume shops, browsing through items at online costume stores, and trying things on is where the real fun is. Then getting the opportunity to dress up and get the most outrageous reactions when going to Halloween parties, or door to door with friends is where everything comes to life! I’m glad that there are places like HalloweenAdventure.com around now, places like that didn’t used to be available when I was younger. They’ve got a huge selection, with outstanding prices! Good thing they have an adult costume selection too

I recently read a story where IBM is suing Apple for patent infringement… wouldn’t surprise me, Apple has never been a respecter of others ideas. But when I read on, it seems IBM is no so much suing over ideas, as they are a man. It seems Apple has hired IBM’s ex CEO of chip design, I mean the guy has got to work, so what is the problem?

To me, it sounds like IBM is a bitter girlfriend/boyfriend right now… if that makes sense. They let this guy go, whoever picks him up, well to me that’s fair game right? But it seems IBM wasn’t really done with him, they just wanted a break that they thought might strengthen the relationship. Now they’re considering him to be cheating because he’s gone with someone else while they were “on a break”. Naw, IBM loses out in this case in my eyes… if you weren’t smart enough to keep him around, then you gotta let him go.

Oh man, There’s a lot of funny stuff that’s been going on this week… sure it’s been tough, it always is… but I think I’ve finally got the Epic Win I’ve been looking for! First off I found that MapleStory could possibly pay for my wedding! Woot! Even $500 or so would be enough to get me into the black

Then there’s ApplyMyWay, not only did I get an awesome amount of very good javascript done for free I’ve also found out what I need to do in order to make it all work as it should. So that should be rolling here fairly soon… I’m thinking that once it’s up and running I’ll just spend time following newly created quizzes, applications, and surveys and I’ll pimp ‘em out with the content domination schema!

In today’s high tech gadget driven world why are you still using a boring old static sign? People today are more driven by dynamic content, we’ve become immune to the old and need multiple points of stimulus to grab, and keep our attention. In order to obtain the attention of a wider audience, or to grab the younger crowd consider growing your business with the help of digital signage. Digital signs give you 100 times the value of a standard sign. With dynamic, relevant content that you can change every day, rotate, or update on the spot you don’t have to worry about typos, or misleading information that you might have to check with older signs. You can now update any time you need!

Dynamic content grabs the attention of consumers much faster than a static sign anyways, subtle changes can be made in order to capture the attention of passers by, scroll deals across the bottom of your sign to bring them in! Digital signs allow you to do whatever you want, and change it as often as you desire for a wider variety of options. Show your customers your daily specials without ever leaving your shop! You won’t regret putting a Digital Sign in front of your business, just watch the results spring to life!

I’ve discovered that I REALLY like the Nexxon Family of games! I started out with Combat Arms, which was awesome! I found it because of some flash banners that I had seen 8 billion times on flash game sites… eventually I got curious and checked it out. It’s not so realistic as say games like America’s Army, or even Counter Strike: Source, but that’s okay. In fact the lack of realism, easy kills, and respawns makes it a little bit more fun. But I’m not here to talk about CombatArms right now!

I’m here because I saw a killer deal on MapleStory! When I was on the Nexxon website I saw a little button on the side that said “We’ll sponsor your wedding” After clicking on it I was taken to the Maple Story website and it then proceeded to tell me that my character is too low of a level to take part in this. So I’ve been playing MapleStory now, trying to get my character up to the level required in order to get WildIrishRose, and I’s wedding sponsored!

For those of you that don’t know the original name of the new admin panel for WordPress version 2.7 which is on its way to coming out was Crazyhorse! It was partially named this because the new design was to be created in less than 2 weeks. It was also named this because it was a little bit crazy to be using a new interface for the admin panel on WordPress less than a year after a new admin panel was created! I mean we’re talking about a change that was made and hasn’t even had time to be gotten used to yet by the participants.

Part of this was because of the complaints received about the 2.5 admin panel, but a lot of those complaints could just be from people who don’t like change. So they hired an outside company to help them do the research. After lots of research, tons of eye tracking, and productivity tracking WordPress finally came up with CrazyHorse, a prototype admin panel that wasn’t fully functional, wasn’t pretty, and yet people still preferred the new prototype to the existing design.

Ugh! I hate it when you get crazy file extensions that just don’t make sense, like this file extension NTH that I’m trying to take care of! Does that ever happen to you? You get this file online with some crazy odd extension such as NTH and you simply can’t figure out what to do with it… I mean, you don’t know if it’s a video, virus, program file, or what. Windows never has been any sort of help on the issue either I mean seriously 99% of the time when you get an odd file extension Windows gives you the option to either find a program on your computer to play the file (which is no help if you don’t even know what type of file it is, and if it’s not being picked up automatically what chance is there that you’ll find a program on your computer to run it?) or to search online… and I’ve personally NEVER seen their online search find anything. It generally just says “This file extension could not be found” or something along those lines. That’s why I like my friends over at File-Extension.com they’ve got a huge library of file extensions that are sure to be able to find anything you need!

Sometimes politics baffles me… I mean seriously, instead of fixing problems they argue, fight, and squabble about pathetic, insignificant agendas. Let’s take the national debt for instance. Our country is in debt, but there is no minimum monthly payments for our country. If I get a credit card and rack up $10,000 on it then I have to pay a little bit on that every month… so why doesn’t our country have to pay anything? With the billions and billions of debt accumulated by our country why isn’t there some of that being paid down? How do we continually accrue more debt and not pay off what we owe already? I mean seriously, with the way we’ve acted about our national debt our credit score can’t be anything better than about 120 or less… does anybody do a credit check on the country before giving out loans?

First off I have to say that I like Ron Paul’s plan for our country fiscally, but the next one I could agree with would be Barack Obama. You see with Obama’s plan we could eliminate the national debt in a couple of years… it won’t be done because people don’t understand it… but it could be done. Obama wants to give a $500 rebate to anyone who makes under $150k a year right? Then $150k to $250k no changes, and over 250 only moves up slightly. So now 95% of our country gets a few pennies back every year from the taxes, just enough to twist the knife around a little. Seriously, $500 a year? You think that’s gonna solve much of anything? The cool thing is that it could. Let’s say the $500 rebate is postponed two and a half years. If this effects 1billion people you now have 500 billion dollars to work with which would be to pay down the national debt for two years, for a total of 1 trillion dollars. Now the national debt is completely gone! The next year, you give a $250 check back to people and use that 250 billion to create a surplus. The year after that you give a $500 rebate to each worker back.

So what’s the difference? In Obama’s plan he’s giving you $500 back every year from your taxes. In my plan I’m giving you back between $5,000 and $500,000 back a year depending upon how much money you make. But you say “how so are you giving back more money? You just said you’d give less back.” Okay… here’s the deal, and here’s what no politician but Ron Paul has ever told you… Inflation is a hidden tax on the middle class, and it is accelerated by our national debt. If our country has $0 in debt, or well actually a huge surplus that we can use to loan out to other countries, or for our own problems. Then our dollar becomes more powerful than any other type of currency in the world. That pair of Doc Martens you bought last year for $350 you can now pick up for less than $100, the cheap Chinese made crap you’re getting at Wal-Mart to save money used to run you $5 can now be snagged for $1 or less. Gas that you were paying $2 a gallon for (currently, was up to $3.50 earlier this year) is now $0.50 a gallon…

And what if we did go with Ron Paul’s plan to get rid of the Fed? No income taxes for anyone! Yeah, you lose a lot of government programs, but when you’re saving that much money who needs the government to take care of us? When I was working for Viacom I lost over $350 a WEEK in taxes… that’s painful to most anyone… if I had that kind of money I could pay for whatever I needed, I don’t need some government health program, I could pay for it myself. Just to put this in perspective, if you save $10 a week and never touch it from the time you’re 18 on with the amount you put into savings, along with interest you end up with well over $2 million in the bank for retirement… screw Social Security and pittance for paychecks, the interest alone on that is over $100,000 a year (shooting low).

Government should protect us and take care of things that no one else would on their own… they shouldn’t be our baby sitter from cradle to grave.
