This is a list of all the items that are interesting but for lack of time, and in many cases understanding I’d prefer to just make you aware of them. It’s also the list I will be using to justify my ”I’ve seen things you wouldn’t believe” comments 
Now here’s some Aussie Philosophy I can grok

Libertarians in Australia are about as weird as those here. Ok we’re weird we just want to Garbo our lives and socialism is way way more entrenched mentally over there than here ( oh we have it, just don’t admit it, they love it .. ) Anyway it’s worth reading the whole thing as it gets across practical ideas without the usual crap about roads appearing;)
You’ll have to mind your own damned business and take responsibility for your own actions. If the guy next door to you is a polygamist transsexual drug addict with a collection of .44 magnums who makes porno movies featuring donkeys, there’s nothing you can do about it.
You’re gonna learn to live your own life, without the government’s tongue permanently shoved up your arsehole.

Just making sure it’s all going well. I messed up version one, thought I’d be clever..
Finally got the CZ75 sp01 downrange today, 2 x 18 rd mags, pretty visible sites, annoyingly gritty decocker and the trigger is not yet as good as my compact, but it takes time to wear them into something happy. All in all I like it 
Dobh was happier,Erin was crankier, even though she was shooting well and Oh and we came up with a wonderful spoof on the I’m a mac , and I’m a pc commercials:D More on that soon but I have a good idea who I want to play the PC ( irony is they have a mac:)
The Social Media Release is about getting the facts right The irony of being misunderstood by those people that just “won’t” get it

Social Media Release » Blog Archive » The Social Media Release is about getting the facts right
Ah I presaged the joy of this debate a few posts back, and indeed a couple of weeks back on my work blog but it looks like people that have the ability to gather some attention ( Oh we’re very “the Island” in a Huxley sense over here) have weighed in with a more weighty assessment on what was my visceral reaction to being sold on being sold to. One of the proponents of the SMR Chris Heuer appears to be having an interesting time rebutting these including this interesting reference to something that derails the Cluetrain so many of the SM group seem to be waving their ticket stubs in the air to show we’re all on the same track, that we are, sadly I don’t think we’re going in the same direction though:)
as a result, here comes the pile-on, where all bloggers are going to attack the PR industry – without knowing all the facts, giving more credence to that stupid “Attack of the Bloggers” article from last year.
Is this saying that bloggers are the coolest when their interpretation dovetails with our purpose of communication but otherwise are just not playing fair? Maybe, just maybe we see through PR and the idea that we need these modern day shapers to translate from the ‘king boardroom to the buyer is soon to be lost in the mists of time?
Grendel…. supper’s ready.
Sex dispute ends in tractor rampage – A tale of farmers and their hoes, er ho’s
Filed under blogging, Culture-internet
Found on Samizdata.net Today’s most interesting headline. No it doesn’t take place in Russia which until now I thought had lead the world in tractor humour.
New Zealand’s Timaru District Court has heard how a prostitute tried to get her own back on Christopher Malcolm Duane Muir, a farmhand on the country’s South Island, who didn’t pay after using her services.

mystic bourgeoisie: de-meaning
Chris Locke has an interesting psychic test which I am sure most of you can pass. You have to come up with your own title and lineage of super psychic authenticity ,probably print your own certificate too. Anyway I think of my ex writing that book …

I am a little late to this party but even near death ( er we all are some just have more immediate evidence) he’s posting in a manner I am I can come close to should the chance arise.

Some video entertainment that you may have missed.

I make the mistake of assuming that those of us that toil primarily online have seen just about any amusing video / graphic/ meme that’s been around a few weeks. Well I was remiss in this so I am going to add a sidebar with the last 10 amusing things.
First up. Jesus in music video. I will survive.

DWI Checkpoint-stopped and harrassed – More joy from the JBT’s

DWI Checkpoint-stopped and harrassed – Google Video
From the “you have nothing to fear” category via the Classically Liberal blog further evidence that personal tech can be your friend. While the side of the road is not the place to argue rights with those that have little conception, or indeed love for them, it’s good that there are those willing to risk their safety to bring back these snippets. I only post this because “it never happens” and clearly anyone it did happen ( assuming it did of course) then they’d have brought it about themselves by provoking the police by say .. driving?
Time to read: Randomness. more whacks at "social" anything.

The Paying for TV lifestyle is going well. There’s been enough on Adult Swim, You Tube and various vidcasts to keep me amused for 2 days ..:) The wireless keyboard/mouse work pretty well and I’ve found that Opera is the most useful browser for my long distance viewing with friendlier and more consistent zoom settings than IE or FF.
I’m still trying to get through “The Fatal Shore” it’s not that I don’t like the book it’s just that so many pages a night prior to sleep doesn’t work as well.
Just bought “Calculated Chaos” 
by Butler Shaffer and Hayek’s “The Road to Serfdom” 
because feeling something is obvious doesn’t equal the ability to convince others who have been “taught” by the state
Social Media, ah the joys of traversing this increasingly self aggrandizing movement which seems to be missing the point or more likely “this” point is missing the movement:D
In one corner: Those that are tired of the coercive, manipulative tactics and outright falsehoods perpetrated, partly through regulatory constrictions and partly through choice , of old media and seek to create an alternative to the wilderness of smoke and mirrors that one could argue that MSM seems to promote and then….
And then are those that want to sell to these people.It may be better to start a split between social media and social marketing. What a minute I thought I was close to being an anarcho capitalist.,.. yeah well I’m 50% there I just need to work on the latter.. so why would should I give a rat’s patoot about what the marketing maniacs may monetize? Mainly it’s the self serving bullshit. I saw/ see cluetrain as a very obvious set of ideas, just repeated x 3-4 on each point but hey , ink’s free on the web:D, but ultimately I am not sure it’s considered a “how to” guide to fake a connection in the bid to sell more crap 
None of the people I’ve met in marketing have been remotely convincing that they really are helping us rather then helping their message and how it should be framed… The people actually walking the walk the owners and producers of companies “that get it” don’t need an interstitial tier .
Shame that middle tier is working so hard on making themselves relevant .
How Scrooge was twisted into the bleak house of public opinion
Filed under blogging, Culture-internet, Freedom, political
Butler Shaffer writing at Lew Rockwell.com has taken on Scrooge as a client back in 2004. This is one Christmas story that takes the collectivist goodwill and excorriates it for the pious crap it is. Scrooge Shrugged would be an interesting look at the topic since , as you will find, Ebeneezer really is the only “doer” of the piece everyone else is waiting around to have things done for and to them.
What is the bill of particulars with which my client is charged? Pay close attention to Mr. Dickens’ allegations. His case comes down to just two points: [1] my client has managed to become very rich, and, [2] he insists on keeping his money for himself. That’s it! That is the essence of his alleged wrongdoing.
I have criminal tendencies in that direction myself.
Ah Myspace finally pops out something good.

Listen to “Running the world”
This is from the lead singer/ writer of the band Pulp which sadly most Americans have never heard .. sad people. This man has the perfect delivery in relation to the topic:
Myspace, I found my ex has a profile ( thanks to someone for suggesting NOT!) which amused me greatly
The rest of the day.. I got to do something nice for others and My boss did something nice for me. Apart from that .. Blah!!!

Animals song time…
in this dirty old part of the city Where the sun refused to shine People tell me there ain't no use in tryin...'
Spock! We .... Got ta get outofthis place.
In another annoying trend the people with “freedom isn’t free stickers” Damn you annoy me. It’s priceless, it’s inherent and you can’t give me jackshit other than cheap platitudes and regurgitating a life of pledging to suck on state cock for giving you that which you already possess, make that charging you for it. It’s a bit of a Kaiser Soze run around isn’t it, quite a trick.
Flush with success the weekend toilet post.
Another $200 down the crapper and a new toilet will soon be installed in the bathroom I can’t wait for its completion since most of this week has nauseated me to the point of throwing up. The timezone change for the weeks vacation came back with a vengeance and after 3 nights of 2-3am bedtimes with 6am attempts to wake up it all caught up on Friday morning.
Sat was relatively busy ..Another city mandated clean up of the yard. We’d DARED to go on vacation and there was rain = weeds which some busybody , ok we guess the person selling the house on either side of us had called in since we had been such a short time and had killed off the weeds prior to going. I’m sure yard work,armed ,won’t spook any prospective neighbors as they view the house.
Friday night was atheist night and I’m toying with no longer going for a variety of reasons though non of them involve being saved but more from the lack of community e.g “godless liberal” may be an epithet I will start using though likely not in the same context Coulter would use. The intolerance to my intolerance by those that want to run the world by force is amusing, ironic? I attack people on “my side” too. I’ve brought it up on many occasions but if it’s worth being boring over ( Advice received from “letters to a young contrarian” by Hitchens) then I’ll risk .. risk nothing
There’s too many liberal atheists including the pretend atheists ( agnostics and secular humanists ) that pile on the dangerous nutty beliefs of the current adminstration while extolling the “heaven on earth” that would result from an enlightened Democrat that er has nutty and dangerous beliefs. Seemingly my eyesight is not up to the challenge of separating the invisible from the invisible from the non existent.
