#21 Thoughts on Software as a Service (SaaS)
I’ve been expanding my thinking about web application architecture, framework, etc and SaaS came up as a concept to consider. Here are some thoughts on what it is and how it is useful.
Dr. Mercola Interviews Chris Kresser on Heart Disease, Cholesterol and Fat
I suspect that if you get your health information from your average doctor or media source; that most of what you think you “know” about heart disease, fat and cholesterol is wrong. This is a very well done summary of why and what you can start to look into, to understand this better. Its amazing to me that a profession so important as medicine is unable to even adapt to the scientific information available to it.
#20 Hard Assets
Hard assets are one of the keys to protecting your finances from the corruption of paper money and ensuring some measure of stability, even as long-term values of paper assets dwindle due to debasement and mismanagement.
Swans: Stay Here
be strong
be hard
resist temptation
stick your hand in your eye
close your fist

Puscifer: Live @ Lollapalooza

#019 How People Think About “Historically Significant” Events
When an event occurs, in which the state, society and the mainstream propaganda apparatus, decide to declare an event of great significance; then it’s time to put on your thinking caps. Given the pattern throughout history, the events are not likely to be what they are portrayed as, in the media.
The media is generally a copy-typist for the state and the state generally has a larger agenda. So whether or not the state is: creating “false flag” events themselves via drills, enticing individuals to commit acts via agent provocateurs or simply “spinning” an event that occurs spontaneously. They have ample motive to lie to the public, a history of deceptive behavior and every tool at their disposal to lie and fabricate evidence, such as to be believed by enough of the population, to get away with it. For everyone else, there are various forms of social conditioning to pit conformists against them, or divide them from one another.
#018 How to think of Violent and Traumatic Events like Terrost Attacks
Sometimes, the biggest enemy, to peace, freedom and intellectual honesty, is within our own head. Keep a cool head and think honestly and act courageously, before you submit to some form of ignorance.
How to think critically and not be swept up by the propaganda, into doing what “they” (either the terrosts or the government — or both) want you to do.
Dead Can Dance – American Dreaming
I need my conscience to keep watch over me
To protect me from myself
So I can wear honesty like a crown on my head
When I walk into the promised land
We’ve been too long American dreaming
And I think we all lost the way
Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the dark
I’m in love with an American girl
Though she’s my best friend
I love her surreptitious smile
That hides the feelings within her
And we’ll go dancing in the rings of laughter
And live along by the shores Read the rest of this entry »
Peter Gabriel: The Power of the Heart
This is a beautiful live performance of The Power of the Heart by Peter Gabriel, with the New Blood Orchestra.
You and me we sweat and strain
You look for sun and I look for rain
We’re different people, we’re not the same
The power of the sun
I looked for treetops, you looked for caps
Above the water, where the waves snap back
I flew around the world to bring you back
Ahh, the power of the heart Read the rest of this entry »
