Who wants to step up & create the web-based tool that will compile a list of all consistent #magpie tweeters, & auto-BLOCK those people....?
I need an invitation to Jaiku http://jaiku.com Can anyone help me out...? :-)
Anyone using Adobe Air on Ubuntu Linux....? What do you think of it...? What do you know about it...?
Watching "CBS 48 Hours: Cult of Scientology" http://ping.fm/oXLWJ
Yay!!! Got Kino and PiTiVi installed! which one is better? Or is Cinelarra or LiVES better...? :-/
When delivery boys play coy & make me ASK them for my change (like I'm gonna tip him $20!), I automatically cut their tip in half... Sheesh!
There needs to be some Master List of Twitterers who accept PAID ADS... and a tool that would automate BLOCKING every one of them instantly!
I think that blogging or microblogging (twittering) ADS for PAY without SUPER CLEAR DISCLOSURE is unethical. They need to be banned quickly!
New Blog Post: Crime Syndicate Cult of Scientology versus ‘Anonymous’ http://ping.fm/MpvqE

Crime Syndicate Cult of Scientology versus 'Anonymous'

I have no personal experience with this cult / crime syndicate....

But I have read a LOT about them.....

Once you start learning about them.... It's like a book you can't put down.... Or a movie you can't turn off..... Each scene is more shocking that the last.

It's all here: http://Xenu.net

And here: http://ping.fm/cFtWL

And on YouTube, here: http://ping.fm/mjCzI
The "Election 2008" stream of consciousness is really getting interesting now... http://ping.fm/IfDnD :-)
New Blog Post: Why would I want my own Wiki? http://ping.fm/j1yLN

Why would I want my own Wiki?

I consider myself very sophisticated --- much more than 99% of my friends --- when it comes to understanding technology, web 2.0, etc...

But this one thing continues to baffle me... And I am NOT ashamed to admit it.

Why would I want my own Wiki?

I hear so much about wikis, and I see them thrown out as one of the major innovations and tools of our modern world.... And yet.... I still have not figured out....

How would I benefit from having my own wiki?

What might the purpose be?

Can you give me some examples?

Please comment below, or email me at bruce@brucewagner.com
be the 1st to answer my new poll question... at http://bredmedia.com
How is it that I see all this positiveness for Obama and negative for McCain / Palin.. and they still have alot of people voting for them?
Palin: Sad she's even in the running for the white house also sad on a personal level cause she seems like a nice gal who is trying her best
Matt Damon is so right on this one! http://ping.fm/C8uVp
M: "Sad she is even in the running for the white house..also sad on a personal level cause she seems like a nice gal who is trying her best"
Funny, yet SO Sad "Sarah Palin Got Pranked" The Brightest Bulb on the American Tree? God Help Us! http://ping.fm/ohDBb

As MSNBC pointed out, the "Poll Tax" was outlawed years ago. However 6 hour waits in lines in Florida are criminal and anti-American.

Apple iPhone, when are ya gonna to discover the 1970s tech such as Copy & Paste, Search, ToDo List, and OPEN SOURCE application development?
I had a "Duh" moment: "New services" that provide web-to-sms and vice versa.. Twitter does exactly that, all for free, with direct messages!
Been offline for the past 6 hrs due to Apple iPhone's 2 hour battery life! Must carry iPhone in right pocket, and power cord in left pocket!
iPhone 2 hour battery life + its 10 inch power cord = USELESS! Apple, Why have a battery at all? Why not just call it "AC-Powered Cellular"
God is Love. Period. God cannot hate, by definition.
Poll Question: Who do you follow on Twitter, and more importantly, Why....? (Reply by @reply to me.)
Campaign Promises should have a mechanism for being Enforceable By Law...
Poll Question (reply as an @reply to me): Do you read & respond to your email oldest-first... Or newest-first...?
Arriving at church @Unity at Symphony Space, 95th & Broadway, almost on time! But you'd know that already if you used http://BrightKite.com

@comcastcares I read that Comcast has CENSORED (changed) actual Internet data delivered to paying customers screens for POLITICAL reasons.
@comcastcares Comcast has ADMITTED to "throttling down the speed" of it's own paying customers & is alleged to have censored net CONTENT!
@comcastcares My friends & I try to spread the word to EVERYONE to "Boycott Comcast"...due to Comcast's admired "throttling down" net speeds
@comcastcares Do you represent Comcast officially? At first I thought your username was an ironic joke. But you seem to be serious!?!?
We just ran into Mark Indelicato (plays "Justin Suarez" on Ugly Betty)

New Blog Post: "Bashing USA" http://ping.fm/1djU4

Bashing USA?

Source: from an email I received today :)

When in England , at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell
was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were
just an example of empire building' by George Bush.

He answered by saying, 'Over the years, the United States has
sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight
for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever
asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.'

You could have heard a pin drop.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was a conference in France where a number of
international engineers were taking part, including French and
American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into
the room saying 'Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done?
He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami
victims. What does he intended to do, bomb them?'
A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: 'Our carriers
have three hospitals on board that can treat several
hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply
emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three
cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day,
they can produce several thousand gallons of fres h water from sea
water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in
transporting victims and injured to and from! their flight deck. We
have eleven such ships; how many does France have?'

You could have heard a pin drop.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that
included Admirals from the U.S. , English, Canadi an,
Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found
himself standing with a large group of Officers that included
personnel from most of those countries.
Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped
their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that,
whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English.'
He then asked, 'Why is it that we always have
to speak English i n these conferences rather than speaking
French?'
Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied 'Maybe
it's because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans
arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German.'

You could have heard a pin drop.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in
Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate
his passport in his carry on.
'You have been to France before, monsieur?' the customs officer
asked sarcastically.
Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France
previously
Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.'
The American said, ''The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it.
'Impossible. Americans always have to show your passports
on arrival in France !'
The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then
he quietly explained, ''Well, when I came ashore
at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I
couldn't find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to.'

You could have heard a pin drop.
Why am I so in love with "Weird Al" Yankovic... http://ping.fm/oAdSq Can't get enough of him! :-)
http://ping.fm/v/YvgxZ - "This is a test. This is my first posting from SpinVox to Ping FM out to the world. How does it work? Is this related to Jot at anyway? I wonder if SpinVox is related to Jot? Let me know what you think. Bye."
With these issues with the new version of Ubuntu, this might be a good time for me to try out Ubuntu Studio anyway... You use Ubuntu Studio?
Also, I always recommend that you do NOT use the "upgrade" feature. I recommend you install the new one FROM SCRATCH, wiping out the old one
I keep hearing reports of problems with the new Ubuntu version 8.10... so I recommend you wait for the "dust to settle" before installing it
Realizing how out-of-date the stuff in the sidebar of my old Wordpess.com blog is.. if I'm going to go back to promoting it as my main blog.
So totally awesome! Blendapps adds pop-out functionality & viewing multiple video streams to http://ping.fm/v1GLq Loving it! Loving it!
Thank you, @pingfm FINALLY now my "internet life" and "presence" and Google... can all keep up with my brain and my thoughts! http://ping.fm
For example: Never use @Fandango because they SCAM credit cards! Pass your credit card info to 3rd party cos who begin billing you monthly!
BRILLIANT use of Twitter! Mention company name u have problem w/ or complaint about DIRECTLY in your tweets! They DO follow twitter & blogs!
LOVING this Tweet! frm @soitscometothis: Note to @msnbc your rollover ads on links & headers...are annoying & make me want to switch to CNN!
I am IN LOVE with Weird Al Yankovic... He's a Comic Genius! He got MTV to CENSOR his Latest Video!!! LOL :-)) http://ping.fm/doieq

Blog Decisions

A friend of mine writes...

_____

Hi! I'm currently making some fun decisions about blogging. I have an ongoing blog at wordpress.com where I post frequently about random things including working out, science & technology, news reports, movie reviews, politics, and more. But I'm also going to pick some more "specified" blogs, such as one specifically about writing, one with weekly devotionals, and some other ideas that are roaming through my mind.

Do you have any suggestions?

_____


Yes!

Use them ALL.....

Use http://Ping.fm to tie them all together into one...

That's the best!

Oh....

I meant, use ALL of the blogging sites & networks....

As for "CATEGORIES", use TAGS....

1. Post all of your content to your blog.

2. Post your blog to EVERY blogging site and every social networking site (using http://Ping.fm ).

3. Put topic categories into TAGS.
Create tabs at the top, or menus, which take the reader to that TAG....

For example, a Tab at the top called "Tech News" could link to all items with the TAG, "tech".... taking the reader to a virtual "section", showing him all of your "tech" items only...

:)
Good Morning, World! Did we all survive Halloween??? :-))
