another dose of politics for you- February 7, 2008 Lawrence Lessig, most well known for founding Creative Commons, and writing about free culture, has endorsed Obama, with a very well made and convincing video, here.Also rocking my socks this week is a music video taken from the original source material of Obama speaking in New Hampshire on the night of the primaries.If you haven't watched that speech, I highly recommend it, if it doesn't quicken your heartbeat a bit, I think you're probably dead inside.I'm going to quote a bit of it here, that.http://www.coziahr.com/2008/02/another-dose-of-politics-for-you.php we're a democracy, dammit- February 5, 2008 One major reason I can think of for not supporting Hillary Clinton for the nomination (well, one of very, very many), is that I don't like the idea of our country being run by dynasties.

Neil and Buzz left a mirror there, pointed back at earth, in 1969.I've been watching a documentary about gravity here, and it turns out that astronomers are able to bounce a laser off the mirror that we left there, and use it to measure quite accurately the distance between the earth and...http://www.coziahr.com/2008/02/moon-landing-conspiracy-theories.php customer service is dead- February 2, 2008 You used to be able to walk into a store and talk to the owner.Next, you called a help line, and talked to some kid reading a 3 ring binder.That was too expensive, so we hired Indians who don't understand your problems to help you with your problems.Following that, we got lots of websites where you can only fill out a web form, and someone will help you, eventually. Google has taken the next step, and told people to fuck off completely.I've got a problem with Noobtoob's streaming feed on...http://www.coziahr.com/2008/02/customer-service-is-dead.php |
