"Drill here, Drill now" by Aaron Tippin

Hello…..Is anybody out there listenin’ in Washington D.C.
This is the suffering voice of America crying out for relief
Now I don’t know what a gallon of gas costs up on Capitol Hill
But we sure know what it costs down here in Realityville
And the damage already done has been a mighty heavy toll
And if we’re gonna fix it we gotta start right here at home

CHORUS:
Drill here, drill now
How ‘bout some oil from our own soil that belongs to us anyhow
No more debatin’ we’re tired of waitin’ everybody shout out loud
Drill here, drill now

Every time a foreign tanker pulls up to our shore
They got us over a barrel while they bleed us a little more
And think how much it costs just to bring it all that way
And how many American jobs that’d make if we were drillin’ in the USA
Oh and God forbid if our oily friends should decide to cut us off
We’d be standin’ around with our britches down now listen to me ya’ll

REPEAT CHORUS

Well the winds of change are blowin’
Yes and we recognize that need
But tractors, trucks, cars and planes can’t run on tomorrow’s dreams
So while we’re workin’ on the future we can’t ignore today
Cuz who knows how much time the alternative might take
Somethin’s gotta be done right now cuz friends it won’t be long
Before this great big country comes grinding to a halt

REPEAT CHORUS



I puked a little...

Slow motion lightning

(Stolen from MakeBlog)

Inspiringly beautiful video of cloud-to-ground lightning -

You can see all steps of lightning. First the stepped leader (clound-t-ground), second the upward leader (from tower), third the attachment between these two leaders, 4th the RETURN STROKE (the main stroke of a discharge) and after, the subsequent strokes.
The capillary-like pattern of the stepped-leader seems particularly striking(npi), wikipedia expounds -
The negative charged leaders, called a "stepped leader", proceed generally downward in a number of quick jumps, each up to 50 meters long. Along the way, the stepped leader may branch into a number of paths as it continues to descend. The progression of stepped leaders takes a comparatively long time (hundreds of milliseconds) to approach the ground. This initial phase involves a relatively small electric current (tens or hundreds of amperes), and the leader is almost invisible compared to the subsequent lightning channel.


An AIM reflection.

Hi Guyz....

COMPY Q here:

So I ruined my ports on my firewire drive...I have to get a new enclosure. But I'm thinking about getting a Drobo instead. However! The Drobo won't be able to read my data, just erase it prior to integration into the Drobo unit so what I'm wondering is...is there a way that I can get the data off of my firewire before installing the clean drive into the drobo? Or should I just get an enclosure as well?

Leather & All Its Pleasure



I just discovered The Leather Archives, which is a museum for the fetish community, and it's located up in Roger's Park. I think we should go some day! I'm not too into leather but I am into fringe cultures so, tally ho!

The Adventures of Wan - Rucking Across the US!


Great read about a cross country trip on a Honda Ruckus. After flying from Seoul, South Korea, to his aunt’s house in Fayetteville, N.C., Lee purchased a Honda Ruckus 50CC motor scooter for $2,000 and set off on his trip Oct. 22. He averages 150 miles a day at about 30 mph — only stopping to rest, eat and visit certain attractions. and National Parks. Probably one of the best threads I have ever followed on any site. Almost makes me regain my faith in humanity.Enjoy!

She-Wolf



LYCANTHROPY is a term used comprehensively to indicate a belief, firmly rooted
among all savages, and lingering in the form of traditional superstition among
peoples comparatively civilized, that men are in certain circumstances
transformed temporarily or permanently into wolves and other inferior animals.

The word has also been linked to Lycaon, a king of Arcadia who, according to Ovid's Metamorphoses, was turned into a ravenous wolf in retribution for attempting to serve human flesh (his own son) to visiting Zeus in an attempt to disprove the god's divinity.

To stab a werewolf with a silver dagger, or to shoot it with a silver bullet is said to not only kill a werewolf, but to also cause it agony in the time before it dies, rather resembling being slowly burned from the inside.

I love Tom Ford Ads

I love it when fashion adverts cut to the chase and sell us sex instead of clothes. After all, that's what we're really looking for...That's why I love Tom Ford.

A Dick Among Men

My new favorite website is Dickipedia.

A choice entry:

David Blaine (born David Blaine White on April 4, 1973 in Brooklyn, New York City, USA) is an American illusionist, stunt performer and dick. His father was Spanish–Puerto Rican and his mother was Jewish, making him one of the first known Spanish/Puerto Rican/Jewish dicks (Jewricanspanick). Blaine is best known for taking himself way too seriously.

Redeeming Ourselves



Sure, we may just be animals fucking our life away and filling the meaningless void with busywork, but the fact that we can look at something we ourselves created (from space!)and think "awe-inspiring" or "beautiful"...well that's worth something, isn't it? Isn't it?
