Updates

So......
sorry (once again) for the extended absence (I got distracted ....again)
I'll try to keep more regular with the posts in the future

on a bright note I finished Lawrence Lessig's Free Culture
and all I can say is ...wow, amazing book, seriously, usually I don't get so sucked into non-fiction books, but this one just sort of grabbed me and wouldn't let go
After reading it, I can only say that I'm appalled at the state of our country's copyrights laws, and the sheer abusiveness of these large companies in their attempts tp "protect" their intellectual property rights

If out of everything I ever write, you listen to one thing I say, let it be this, "Read that book" ...immediately, as in now go and download the book, and when you have a moment to spare, start reading. I said this before, but it's important enough that it should be repeated, for anyone who uses the internet, or in any way participates in creative activities (i.e. writing, drawing, filming.....etc) this book, is a definite must read, even if you don't regularly engage in any of these activities, I still wholly recommend reading it. It pays to stay informed.

Now don't worry, I'm not gonna just sit here and rant at you all day
I have better things to do (and so do you)

So, I've recently gotten into a bit of a DIY/learn stuff kick, I recently revisited a favorite website of mine lifehacker.com, truly an amazing site, and it's given me some great ideas for things to do.
I'm not going to get into to many details at the moment, since I'm kinda sleepy and I want to keep some material for future posts, but just know this there will be changes around here ...awesome changes, not to mention some more posts from yours truly highlighting some other yet-to-be-named-awesomeness.

I'm really kinda excited about the future, I just hope it'll all pan out in the end
