Here's' a Black Psy-Op for Christmas

In general I have to thank a few of the voices on this site for really opening up my eyes to the urgency of the antiwar efforts. It's not just about war -- as horrible as that is. It's also the single largest carbon producer on the planet. It's also the reason why we can't have nice things. It's also the reason things like terrorism are so prevalent and the west figures so prominently in the targets. And so when I stumbled across this little gem in newsweek, on Christmas Eve no less, I just wanted to spit.

Some of my favorite "holiday"/seasonal tunes (with a little narrative)...

Like many members of this online community, I'm somehwat of a music freak. I've worked in the media (ad, p.r., journalism, etc.; corporate, political, non-profits/community org's, etc.) and tech-related sectors my entire life; but a significant portion of the work that I've done in those fields, as far as the music/entertainment industry is concerned, has been for little or no compensation (although there were more than just a few exceptions to this last statement).

(mis)Adventures in Computer Purchasing

The first PC I ever owned was one I built back in 2006. It was decent at the time, even for what the pros called an entry level set up. Eventually I upgraded it as far as it could go to a 3.4 Ghz Pentium D dual-core processor (Luckily the D101ggc motherboard supported it), a couple of gigs of ram and a decent video card for the time.

Merry Festivussis to the Monkey Team!

My banana smoothies are on their way.

I am out of snarky words, so I just wanted to wish you all Peace and Love. You gave this monkey many good laughs. May you all have something to love for ever and ever.

This monkey now must say good bye and will be out of order til ... the good times rolling back and the world will be wonderful again.
