Wishing Death

2008-07-07T21:22:00.002-04:00

I used to think it was a moral wrong to wish death upon someone.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think for a moment that wishing (aka praying) has any real effect on the world but I still thought it wrong to "wish" ill will towards another person. Upon further reflection, I've changed my mind. There should be no remorse in wishing ill will towards a person that promotes the death or great suffering of others.

That being said Jesse Helms I wish it would have happened much, much sooner. I hope you have a miserable dirt nap with Reagan and Thurmond.

The world is a better place without you.

Rootkit

I saw a Nissan Z on the way home today with tags that said "ROOTKIT" this is yet another reason why vanity plates are just wrong.

Dear Loyal Readers,

Incase you haven't noticed, my posting frequency has declined as of late.
I'm taking steps to insure the frequency increases and that you will get the satisfaction that only DC Dan can offer on a regular basis in the near future.

DC Laws I Wish Were Enforced

2008-06-23T17:53:00.002-04:00

Signs
Originally uploaded by dcdan

There are a few DC Laws that I wish were more vigorously enforced.
1) People who violate the no standing or stopping signs, this is a real pain in the ass especially when biking as we don't have much room or respect in the street in the first place and now the violators, who are usually double parked put bikers in extra jeopardy. There should also be not be exceptions made for this for delivery trucks, taxis, hired car services or emergency personnel who are not actively addressing an emergency.
2) Failure to signal a turn, I don't get why people don't use a turn signal especially to signal a right turn it's not like someone will block you from it.
3) Littering you don't have to be a member of the Sierra Club to know that throwing your trash on the ground it just plain wrong, seriously you were raised better. This also applies to cigarette butts.
4) People who park illegally, I don't care if you are in church or not get up earlier to find a legal parking spot or pray for one.

DC Law enforcement, this is a great opportunity to help generate revenue for the city while making it a nicer, cleaner and safer place to live and work. (Read this Fixing Broken Windows)

History

2008-05-29T02:08:00.002-04:00

This was my first blog post from my old site oh and up time is my server uptime (no nerd) not a meth problem

Date 3/14/2, uptime 87 days ::

Its finally time to put some effort in my site, I noticed that I was getting some hits from people in Milwaukee (my hometown) and I've been working on some projects that I think are cool so I wanted to share. The first addition was a page about this server and my home network. I'm hoping people can learn something about home networking from networking page eventually. The other things I wanted to share is my attempt to build my own Tivo and my attempt to make mp3s available all over my house.

I went to the Atmosphere show tonight it was okay too many of the depressing songs and too many Alpha Beta Keratins and strange ending.

Two More Reasons

2008-04-28T19:21:00.005-04:00

Two more reasons I find faith harmful

Half of sect's teen girls have been pregnant for the record 31 out of 53 is closer to 60%. So this is how a good religious upbringing prevents teenage pregnancy!?!?!?

Parents pray as girl, 11, dies of diabetes
Now I would find no harm had they prayed while she was under medical attention, but I hope they get all the state can do to punish them.

Irony

Does anyone else find it ironic that the sticker on my work laptop that says "energy star compliant" is made out of non-biodegradable plastic.

You Can Rely on the Stupidity of the General Public

2008-04-08T20:12:00.003-04:00

If you ever want to see examples of supreme ignorance simply read the comments on YouTube videos that refer to anything political.

Eagerly waiting the approaching end of humanity.*

sigh,

*This is a reference to global warming and not some plot.

How Do I Get to "teh" Stadium?

2008-03-25T00:23:00.002-04:00

I understand that DC can serve a confusing place for tourists. I empathize with their confusion about shittily labeled roads and the quadrant system. As such if asked nicely or if I see a confused tourist I will happily provide them directions.

But really all of this non-sense over confused people (presumably locals) is just plain stupid.

Sigh, maybe I'll just start telling the tourists that if they get into the Capitol building, they should really take the time to look at the Oval Office, which is right under the big dome.

Need I Say More

2008-03-21T01:42:00.001-04:00

As if this article wasn't bad enough, scope out the tagline: "Brit's little sis is acting anything like the country's most famous pregnant 16-year-old!" Wow, America has it's own famous pregnant teen. We've finally done it! My heart is swelling with such patriotic pride I'm going to bang my head off the Liberty Bell until I see stars - and stripes! Awww yeah!

Yeah sometimes I hate freedom of speech too.

it is because the music itself is crap it sounds like selections from a shitty Casio keyboard.
