Perfected Insanity

Well, after I spent the day changing oil in different vehicles I noticed that my cell phone was misssing. I thought I remembered having while under the hood of my car. After looking for several hours over the course of a couple of days I finally gave up. It was going straight to voicemail by then and I figured the battery went dead. I figured I left it under the hood and it fell out on my way to work the next day. Anyways After I hit the store and spend $300 on a new one, I start getting emails and phone calls that Pep-Boys was calling everyone on my contacts... They had my phone.

Anyways, it sucked but I really wanted a new phone anyways. I went with the cingular 3125, and I must say its pretty nice. Feels real solid in your hand and the soft buttons are incredible. Windows mobile makes transferring ringtones and syncing with my outlook calendar, email, and contacts a snap. The camera is nice, but nothing amazing. Here's what it looks like:

I have some pictures of my latest trip back north on the bike, but my Flickr account is maxed out this month. I'll upload them as soon as I can upload again.

Well, this video is much different than others previously, but I beleive it's definately worth watching. It raises some questions I've never contemplated.

One thing that I was thinking about while watching segment 2 of the video was about CEO's. It seems that they make a choice to put themselves in situations in which they have to make big decisions that effect many people. Most of the time there is no way to know all of the implications of these decisions, and making semi-informed choices some of them are bound to be bad ones. Is this not psychopathic in a way? Now everyone has to make hard decisions, but they normally do not effect hundreds or thousands of people. Now I don't beleive CEO's and other similar people are bad themselves. I don't beleive they purposely make choices that are completely immoral, but they have incentives that the common man does not have. Also they are not effected themselves by these choices other than whether it generated more revenue for shareholders. Most of the time the effects of their decisions are in a different country. When the effects hit close to home for them, they are wealthy enough to just move away from the problem, or throw money in it's direction to make it go away, at least for them. In the end he corporation's main motive is profit for shareholders, who also consist of... the high-end wealthy class.

Now don't get me wrong. Not all corporations are evil, and they are needed for certain services and goods. I beleive we need to take a look into what rights they are granted, and the power they currently have.

Anyways, take some time and watch the documentary.

Well, after no attack or catastophe on 9/11, we did seem to have a mild one here in town. After raining VERY hard ALL day, the water eventually started backing up. Here are some pics of what I came home to. I had to park a couple of blocks away and hike through peoples yards to get home.

And here is my brother's old car. And yes there is water all over inside.

My house did not have any damage as it is on a hill from the road, which is good. I wanted to see what other places looked like so we set out on our bicycle's.
