The Party of Freedom

I am a man of deep political convictions, which can be obvious by viewing my web site. I believe deeply in freedom. It's not just a word, and the Constitution is not just a piece of paper, as so many people today seem to believe. I am a Republican, the Grand Ole Party, or, as I like to think of it- The Party of Freedom. Now, such things as political parties and organizations are made up of people, and people are not infalible, and you have exceptions to every rule. I do not agree with every policy or decision of George W. Bush, just as I do not agree with every policy or decision of John McCain. In fact, I wish we had a more conservative cadidate on the GOP ticket this year such as Fred Thompson, or maybe Mike Huckabee. But that does not mean I will not wholehartedly support John McCain for President, because he is my party's nominee, and by far the best man for the job that is running. The Repulibcan Party was founded by abolitionists on the very principles of freedom and freeing the slaves. The Republican Party stands staunchly behind freedom of speech, freedom of the press, free enterprise and businesses unburdened by governtment regulation, freedom of religion, freedom to choose your own destiny, and perhaps most importantly: the right to keep and bear arms- the ultimate guarantee of your own personal freedom. I am proud to belong to the Party of Freedom. While, as I mentioned, I do not agree with everything George W Bush has done as President, I believe wholeheartedly that Bush believed overthrowing Saddam Hussain was the right thing to do for the security of the United States. There is no question Saddam would have launched a WMD attack on the US if he could have, and he was trying desperately to do so. That is not in dispute. Therefore, I believe the War in Iraq was and is completely justified despite the critics that spew the contrary on a daily basis. As a side effect, the people of Iraq are grateful for the freedom we have provied them in stark contrast to the totalitarian dictatorship of Saddam Hussain. Was that justification to go to war by itself? No, but it is consistent with the goals of the GOP and the policies of George W Bush, and I for one am proud of that fact. No matter what happens, or has happened, I believe toppling Saddam Hussein was the right thing to do, without question. In the upcoming election, we have a choice. A choice between the Party of Freedom and the Party of Oppression. The Democratic Party, but not necessarily every Democrat, represents heavy government regulation, registration and confiscation of firearms, massive social welfare (goverment sponsored theft), and a general heavy handed government that the people are completely dependent upon. That is a stark contrast to the Party of Freedom, and Barak Obama is one of the most liberal Senators in the Democratic Party. He takes the party platform seriously, and we can expect him to do great damage to the freeom in America, if elected. I will stay loyal to the Party of Freedom and vote wholehartedly for John McCain.

OpenDNS is Cool

I was listening to my favorite podcast today, This Week in Tech with Leo Laporte, Patrick Norton, John C. Dvorak and others (pretty much the old TechTV gang when it was an awesome cable channel, before they were bought by G4 and subsequently run into the ground). But I digress... anyway, they were discussing an awesome service called OpenDNS , so of course I decided to check it out when I got back from lunch. Sure enough, this is a very cool, completely free DNS (domain name service). For those of you who don't know, DNS is what converts Internet name addresses (i.e. www.google.com ) to it's actual IP Address (i.e. 208.67.219.230). DNS was created in the early days of the Internet because humans can remember names a lot easier than number combinations. Typically, when you type an address into a web browser, for example, it goes and runs to your Internet Service Provider's DNS server to say "where the heck is google.com?" to which your ISP's DNS server...

Paradigm Shift in Energy Production

Image
We are witnessing a paradigm shift in energy production.  We've seen dramatic shifts like this across numerous industries over the decades, most recently by computers, the Internet, and cellphones.  The industrial revolution changed markets dramatically as steam power, driven by coal, and later the internal combustion engine, primarily driven by gasoline and diesel derived from oil, changed the face of the planet through mechanization and automation.  Horses and oxen were no longer needed to plow the fields, or to pull wagons, as they were replaced by tractors and automobiles.  The electric light, electric motor, and a myriad of electrical appliances followed, driven primarily by coal and hydroelectric power sources.  Coal was inexpensive and plentiful, with decreased demand from steam locomotives and tractors, it was the perfect fuel for the power generation plants that were needed for electrification projects.  Coal has therefore been a mainstay of relat...

Pinnacle Studio

I apologize that it's been a while since my last post. It's not like I've been busy or anything, I just got married , which has been great. :-) Anyway, I have been having a lot of fun creating a DVD of the wedding and reception. I have used Pinnacle Studio Plus since version 8, and it had innumerable problems in versions 8-10 with them slowly getting better and providing fixes. I can finally say that as of version 11, I think they finally have a stable product that does a great job for most home users' video production needs. About the only thing it lacks is multiple video tracks, for multiple camera angles, but this can still be done on a single video timeline, as I did in my wedding DVD. I ran it on my Dual Core (2.66GHz) 64-bit Vista system with 2GB RAM and it ran very well, and amazingly, never crashed. That's a first in my experiences using Pinnacle Studio. This DVD will be about the 10th that I've authored, so I'm getting fairly good at it and...
