Nixon, Arafat, ghadaffi, come to power. People's Park and the anti-war movement vs Gov Reagan and the National Guard. Vietnam War and the draft lottery comes to a peak. Sirhan Sirhan and James Earl Jones are guilty. Manson Family and the Zodiac killer are a media thriller. The Jets and the Mets are champions. Woodstock and Altimont are a hit, 2 years after the Summer of Love. Apollo lands man on the moon. The 747 and Concord have their first flights. Popular are John and Yoko, Led Zep, The Godfather in print, and the Midnight Cowboy in film. Also Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, True Grit, Easy Rider, Love Bug, and Hello Dolly.. The birth of the Internet [ARAPANET], WalMart, Monty Python, and Sesame Street. Gomer, Peyton Place, the Avengers, and Star Trek is cancelled [boo hoo], replaced by Brady Bunch, Love American Style, Tom Jones, and Johnny Cash. Archie, Scooby, and HR Puff'n'Stuff were silly.

$20
Merry Christmas, Happy Winter Solistice, and New Year! Congratulations on recieving the Gift of Gifts! Really, you don't have to thank me :) Knowing that you don't probably wear or remember getting anything worth less than $20, it wasn't easy.
OK, I didn't know who this would go to. BUT it is something I could go for! Think of it as a Wish List inventory of every gift you could have had and some you would have never used.
In the days of high-tech, low connect items, I hope this brings an occasional smile to you, the family, and whoever you play this with. And always remember the Rule of Acquisition 1B "No returns, no exchanges"
Always (except this Sunday)

Stuck in 1973
1973 Oakland, California to be precise! The McChesney-Oakland High hub. Up and down the Park Blvd, bus 18 route; and later, the new East Bay section of the BART line. Most of my FB posts of the past few months have centered around re-remembering those times with a few "old" classmates. I was born and raised in Oakland, have lived "up" Park Blvd 1963 until 1976. Graduated from OHS early [missed all the good stuff of the Fuorth Year]. In the Philippines for college until late 1983. Lost touch with everyone! Only recently re-connected with Clarice, James, Wayne, Claire, Steve [goes back to Glenview], Steve, Andy, Mayumi, Catherine, and Tom.
Oh, I am back at Park Blvd again this year since living on the Fruitvale side of Dimond Park since 1990. My two kids, Angie 24 and Paul 21, went to the same schools I did.
For those I went to school with in the '70s...Anyone else, you just wouldn't understand
Clap for the Wolfman- Guess Who
For all you students and non-conformist out there! You know who you are!
Smokin In The Boys Room- Mötley Crüe, but originally recorded by Brownsville Station in 1973.

- I didn't really go to movies this year. I sooo wanted to watch The Exorcist, but my parents wouldn't let me! I didn't even get to enjoy Jesus Christ Superstar until I was in the Philippines 4 years later!

Earth threatened by Humankind
The following is based on fact, rant, and speculations.
FACTS
Civilization as we know it is about 10,000 years old. We are in an "icehouse" effect that started less than 50 million years ago. Dinosaurs were extinct due to an event 650 million years ago. Solar radiation, Earth's surace temperature, and inorganic carbon dioxide will increase...resulting in the loss of water, oxygen, plant, and animal life in about 900 million years. The earth is more than 4 billion years old. "Life" is an abberation!
RANT
Politicians and some groups are arrogant enough to think anything we do will harm the planet. What carbon doixide and pollutants we put out is nothing compared to what is put out by volcanoes and all animal life that farts and decays. Our garbage landfills will last decades. So what! Radioactives will last for centuries. Again so what? Our overpopulated cities are choking the earth. NOT! After we are all dead and gone, the Earth will still be here! George Carlin had it right. We are only helping other species become extinct a little bit faster. The only species we are doing harm to is our own! And a damn good job of it too!
SPECULATIONS
I believe that there was once life and a thriving civilization on what is now Mars. Earth was seeded before that civilization ended, some one billion years ago. By now all traces of life there have been erased with time. What is left is atmospheric carbon dioxide, surface ice, underground water, and no complex molecules. Much like what the earth will be like, one billion years from now. More than a billion years before that, civilization was on a world where there is now an asteroid belt. Was that world destroyed by artificial means? Who's to say!?! Life may have originated on the moons of Jupiter, where evidence of ice and vulcanism is evident today. Our solar system would have been only a billion years old. According to my theory, we still have time to terraform Venus. It is the hothouse that Earth was, before molecules bonded to become life-sustaining.
The Earth was NOT created in seven days, nor will it be destroyed in a movie theater!

There is no Safety in FaceBook
...or anything you put on the WEB.
Woman stripped of disability pay over Facebook photos...
FB like any social network has no real security. It's not the government (even that, look at what happened to EDD.ca.gov last month). Employers, those screening job applicants, divorce and insurance lawyers, anyone can access FB, twitter, and not need any private investigator to follow a suspect's habits. And since it is not regulated, anything on the WEB is still public domain. Anything you post (or anyone else posts about you) can and will be used against you in any public scrutiny. And once posted, you can't take it back. As for this Canadian woman's case, is FB therapeutic? let the psychiatrist decide. Not some insurance clerk.
FB hackers don't need to have FB! Just a system that can read it. Any media can be misused. Examples: A girl sends a pic to a friend; that friend posts it [sexting]- who's at fault? Twitter going to a movie, come home to see it burglarized. Have your kids ever YouTubed the inside of your house? Parents post a baby bath photo, and get arrested. Answer a CraigsList ad for a used car, "bring cash only" to a Montclair neighborhood; gets mugged. And any information can get corrupted- see my face in a cartoon?
Facebook Safety

Star Trek: Klingon and Romulan Intelligence Desks
The Klingons were originally portrayed as the primary antagonists in the 1960s. A Cold War existed as much as with the Soviet Union of Socialist Republics then. Expansion from Q'Onos [Moscow] was twofold. A buffer of member worlds [republics] and and conquest of farther resource sectors.
Romulans are a secretive race, similar to the Maoist China of the latter half of the 20th century to the present. Borders and internal security are paramount as in North-South Korea.
Komerex Klinzhai and Stelaam Romulus
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am a scholar on all things TtlhIngan. As a society, they are a proud and honorable race. There are many career paths, but the military is the most prominent in the current society. All paths are competetive, centering on individual strengths and loyalty first to the Empire, then to their House. Terraan equivalent would be the US Marine Corps. Q'pla !

On YouTube...
http://www.youtube.com/videos?r=1 Based on my most recent selections
Why is it that Music video never became as popular as Audio music? CD abums sell, so why not DVDs? MTV was a short-lived media like Beta-Max. People download music from Limewire and talk about pirated music. The same people watch YouTube, but do they download it to a personal library? NOooo! Maybe it's our short attention span, we can't sit there and enjoy it. Take my next post for example.

- Whatever happened to...?"
The groper at Piedmont Avenue, Berkeley
The anaconda terrorizing a cul de sac neighborhood
The eroding hill accross the street from Highland Hospital
The restaurant robberies in Oakland
Max Headroom and Current Technology...
Blipverts - Flash or speed-frame advertising; subliminal messages over TV, movies, the WEB
Blanks - undocumented individuals, non-citizens
War - “Makes news”; terrorism packaging
Tech
“We’re live in 3...!” - YouTube
On YouTube...
http://www.youtube.com/videos?r=1 Based on my most recent selections
Why is it that Music video never became as popular as Audio music? CD abums sell, so why not DVDs? MTV was a short-lived media like Beta-Max. People download music from Limewire and talk about pirated music. The same people watch YouTube, but do they download it to a personal library? NOooo! Maybe it's our short attention span, we can't sit there and enjoy it. Take my next post for example.

Graphic User Interface
A GUI uses a combination of technologies and devices to provide a platform the user can interact with, for the tasks of gathering and producing information.
A series of elements conforming a visual language have evolved to represent information stored in computers. This makes it easier for people with little computer skills to work with and use computer software. The most common combination of such elements in GUIs is the WIMP ("window, icon, menu, pointing device") paradigm, especially in personal computers.
Windows in 1985 was Microsoft's answer to Apple's Lisa and Mac as a point and click system, eliminating the use of the typed Command Line.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface
Why are all the "buttons" so far apart? You have to float your cursor all over the screen to click between menus, actions, scroll, and searches. See that mouse fly off the pad! See my finger scrape across the touch pad ten times to get where I'm going! Touch screen is a nice invention for those that can afford it. I'm gonna need a remote to handle my laptop! I can't wait until the heads-up-display [HUD] interactive system is improved for personal use (I know it exists! Iron Man and pilots use it). Or skip virtual reaality [VR] altogether, and let's just "plug in" to the NET! 2009/11/11

This begins where my FaceBook leaves off...
Facebook, and Myspace, and Friendster! Oh my!
So many "personal" blogs nowadays! And let's not forget Twitter! Do we really need to know how many steps it took you to get to the bathroom 2 minutes ago?
What is Twitter & Why do I care?
This is like the ppl who post webcams 24/7 from their home, either for cash or for kicks. Or the reality show that follows Mr Normal for a month. It's not far-fetched that ppl can have a their entire life showing on the WEB. from cell phones to YouTube to GPS-live feed transmitter implants.
History of the Internet
World Wide Web in Plain English. Social Networking, Blogs, Twitter, Wiki(pedia), and Everything else.
