Video: K9 Cruiser bike leash

The K9 Cruiser is a leash that mounts on a bicycle, so that dogs can accompany cyclists. Here's a link to a short (less than a minute) video of this apparatus in action:

Linking to Google Docs from a Blog

Here's a link: to a demonstration page in Google Docs & Spreadsheets.

This would be another way to change data on a blog. Of course, we could also put the link in the sidebar on the blog so that it would stay in a fixed location.

PROGNOSTICUS predicts the future

The psychic PROGNOSTICUS goes on the record and makes his predictions in the video published on this blog today. He has precognitive visions that give him a glimpse of the near future, the next year or so. To learn what is going to happen during the next twelve months, listen carefully to the predictions of PROGNOSTICUS!



One exciting feature of blogs like this one is that they record when a post is published, so that when Prognosticus or other fortune-tellers post their predictions, you can check back later and see if they were right. Today, Prognosticus predicts that the U.S. will still have military forces in Iraq for another year... Only the future can say if Progosticus will be proven correct!

FYI: Please pass this along.

The Real Iraq We Knew

By 12 former Army captains
Tuesday, October 16, 2007; 12:00 AM

Today marks five years since the authorization of military force in Iraq, setting Operation Iraqi Freedom in motion. Five years on, the Iraq war is as undermanned and under-resourced as it was from the start. And, five years on, Iraq is in shambles.

Is the US election rigged again?

BBC-TV: "Set up to steal it again." Is 2008 already fixed?
Friday October 10, 2008

"A lot of Europeans wonder: Why are Americans so crazy, they keep reelecting this guy?" Well the answer is, we don't! They keep stealing these elections! They stole it in 2000; they stole it in 2004; and they’re all set up to steal it again!" - Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on BBC Television Newsnight.

A song for Autumn

" ... 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, ...

Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are --
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

TEXAS in the news.

This YouTube video on our TEXAS legislature in the news is well worth the view, particularly if it's true.

Note: the period at the end is part of the link.

I don't know how to check it's authenticity, but so far, have no reason to doubt it.

Pam's take on things ...

"Until we reach a critical mass of people who are willing to not just talk to or email each other, but take positive action and are willing to sacrifice something personal for the greater good, we will remain stuck where we are".

Pam Steager, 21st Century wise lady.

A timely reminder

" ... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country. "

- Hermann Goering, Adolph Hitler's Deputy

Independence Day video

Two Quotes worth the read

Some thoughts for Independence Day, 2007

The history of liberty is the history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it.
- Woodrow Wilson, 28th president of the United States

Power concedes nothing without demand. It never did and it never will…The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they suppress.
– Frederick Douglass, 19th c. American author, orator, reformer

A suggestion from Mark Twain

So much blood has been shed by the Church because of an omission from the Gospel: "Ye shall be indifferent as to what your neighbor's religion is." Not merely tolerant of it, but indifferent to it. Divinity is claimed for many religions; but no religion is great enough or divine enough to add that new law to its code.

Peace without freedom is slavery.
Freedom without peace is waste.
