Dear Lack of Readers,

It's been a while since I last posted, and this blog has been a paramount of inactivity since its inception.
For that reason, I am now obliged to end this blog permanently.
I'm starting a new blog, called RantSpot, where I will let loose on the absurdity of reality weekly.
See you there!

Save the Internet! Support Net Neutrality!

More, More

This post is dedicated to someone I know who wanted to be on the Internet. So here goes.
This particular person believs that life is inherently good, and is not happy, but rather "happy."
This person is extremely naive, and thus earns a Thumbs-Down.
This person is named Rachel Schwartz.

Moving on, hello all. This post marks what I am relatively sure is this blogs first consecutive post. I hope to keep this going.

Check out AppJet, a web app programming site. Further, you should check out RSSJet, my app, which is an AppJet-based RSS reader.

Please tell me some more words. I want them.

That is all.

Stuff, News and Beyond.

Hi all... sorry about that last post. It was a quick way to get Googlewhacking to recognize me and a friend for finding one.

Speaking of SEO (searh engine optimization), this site ranks high on two Google queries:

{redacted, ironically to keep that result away} and [mental-surge].

I would have you all know that upon the launch of the new blog, there were many less sites including the term "mental surge", so I am claiming that word as my own.

Further, as it turns out, the ad program I was part of has shut down... that SOB took ma moneys (that I earned)... whatever, didn't spend anything to make it. That is why this blog will not have ads again until the introduction of AdWords,a trustworthy service, to the blog, which should not happen for a while. (Free credits please! *Colbert Grab*)

There's a damn writers' strike on here in America, for those international visitors, so I haven't been getting my dose of Colbert and Stewart. Stupid writers.

I am officially announcing the launch of "Thumbs-Up, Thumbs-Down," a personal ratings system for everything. For example: I give McCain winning New Hampshire a Thumbs-Up! I give Ron Paul getting 8% of the vote a Thumbs-Down. Yes, this is based on the "Tip of the Hat, Wag of the Finger" from Colbert. Damn Writers.

As a reminder to all people with brains, helping others = good. Also, the OLPC is one of the greatest computers thus far in history. It is revolutionary.

Remember this post? Well, as you can see here, I am now ahead of 93.4178713% of all F@H users by rank! HA! Haven't done much in a while, though... been focusing on the World Community Grid, at worldcommunitygrid.org. There, as you can see here, I am doing extremely well.

That is all.

Also, Facebook ads have been added to this site because I like money. Any complaint, please lodge them in the comments of this post. (I may add Google AdSense in addition to, or instead of, the current ads some day.)

Also, DigitalLife 2007 was spectacular. I advise everyone to go next year. That is all.

Let It Be

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when all the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me.
Shine on 'til tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be.
Let it be, yeah let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.


Let it be, let it be.
Let it be, yeah let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
And there will be no sadness, let it be.
-The Beatles

BTW, Yahoo won't let me edit my Geocities page... so the way it is now is the way it shall be forever... I'll just hafta rebuild AGAIN...

Tuve Carta de Amor

Una carta de amor
resucita a cualquiera.
Una carta de amor
al empezar el día,
entona,
te acoraza,
te desvela,
te eleva,
te anima el ánima,
te crea,
te destruye el virus
de tristeza.
Te abrillanta los senos,
te enerva.
Una carta de amor
Es vida,
es muerte,
--muerte muerta
sin ella--.

-Gloria Fuertes
"La Historia de Gloria"

My Dad

My dad has been acting... odd.
Here are some things he has done recently:
-Tried to rap the hokey pokey
-Said that Smeagle (Shmeagle?) from LotR looks like E.T.
-More sure to come.

EDIT: more did come... he stepped on a 129 dollar nintendo ds... it is now out of commission... he managed to CRACK THE TOP SCREEN!!!

EDIT: it got back from nin. works fine

As of today, I rank above about 91.465945770273364503238863406383% of all donators, based on rank, at Folding@Home. Look up my username, JBBdude, here.

Sorry about the whole, updating regularly thing.
Anyhow, I found that you can get to any web site, existing or dead, by adding ".nyud.net:8090" in the domain address. IE, if I wish to go to stuff.com/stuff.htm, i'd just go to stuff.com.nyud.net:8090/stuff.htm. It is like a bizzlion times better than Google's cahe, and much more than that factor in being more pages than the WayBack machine at Archive.org. Still, WayBack lets you access all edits of the site you look for, so...

I was just doing a ruitine Blogger blog search when... I FOUND A BLOG POST ABOUT ME!!! You can find it at http://eugenedavid.blogspot.com/2005/05/joshua-block-12-year-old-shareholder.html.
The event in question was written about by the AP, Reuters, and other major news outlets, so it ended up all over the world. Find it by clicking here. Or, you can Google search: "Joshua Block" viacom -java. Make sure you add the -java, because there is a Joshua Block Java programmer. However, by now, most of the major news sites have taken this off their page, as it took place in May '05. And... Yeah. I was in the news.

Well, I finally got my site list up. You can find it by clicking here. Anyway, I'm going to start updating this site on a regular basis. Additionally, as of the time that I finish this post, I will make it so that anyone can post!!! (But I can always edit or delete so... I HAVE THE POWER!!! Muahahahaha!!!)

I finally switched my computer from an outdated Netvista Windows ME w/a 20GB hard drive to...

A DELL DIMENSION 4550, 2 HARD DRIVES TOTALING 50GB, WITH WINDOWS XP!!! YAY!!!

On the negative side, my entire Yahoo site was deleted, so I'll be working on that.

Here's the graphic mentioned on March 24, 2004.

EDIT: not the new name

Dang it!!! Somehow, I lost my Sonic site. Oh well.

Why is the plural of moose moose? Why isn't it mooses or meeses or mice, or somthing. Well, mice is plural of mouse, so that doesn't work. Whatever. I still say that the plural of "moose" should not be moose. I'll start a poll on the sidebar, thats what I'll do.

FINALLY! MY SONIC PAGE IS DONE!(***for now***)Check out by clicking the page list link on the sidebar. On the page list, click on the Sonic page.

Click here for a picture on my other page's server. It's about what will be on this page in the future.

This is the same as HTML! Wow, that was easy to figure out. (That link just goes to random websites)

This is my first post. I'm trying to figure this page out. If you haven't noticed, the posts are in EST . See you soon.
