Global Warming and what it means

Global Warming, GW, has become the new bogeyman to scare children and adults alike. I fell prey to that call. I still believe in aspects of it but not everything, let me explain.

GW is a very complex monster and I don’t pretend to known the answers but I have thoughts I’d to share. Some things may be wrong but my character is got fast and sort it out in the end.

GW, as it is known, are the gases that are emitted into the atmosphere and cause heat to be trapped because sunlight cannot escape and thus trapped bouncing off the ground once again. Futurama didn’t explain it right, the sunbeam isn’t a cute guy/gal but a mean malicious thug who we want to go, but not so fast. The suns energy is trapped but it not mankind’s fault but it is, let me explain.

Enterprise has learned the secrets of oil and coal and … We pump huge amount of CO into the air. Nature doesn’t know what to do with CO since it kills everything it touches. “My Bad” and when I say “My Bad” I really mean “Our Bad” but I thought that sounded cooler or hotter or warmer or … It’s something that started over a 100 years ago. OK, we got that out of the way, CO is malo, or dame, or any other way I don’t know but it’s BAD.

We are animals and animals have to take responsibility, we are CO2 emitters. That too is a Greenhouse Gas and when I say “Greenhouse Gas” I mean it’s a gas in the air that traps sunlight and thus heat. Where was I? O yeah, CO2, that’s a natural gas an can be used by nature. In fact it’s necessary for plants. We’ll get to that but first I’d like to explain what Mankind does bad, they make room for animals by cutting down plants and trees. Now Next.

CO2 is a natural gas but a Greenhouse Gas. Plants love the stuff, it makes me dizzy but most things do. The Plants break down the CO2 and use the Carbon, that’s the C, and emit the Oxygen. that’s the O. This is the stuff I love and you should too (if you want to live).

To break it down, the players in this tale in order badness.

Mankind - because they’re animals which are CO and CO2 emitters
Animals - because they’re CO2 emitters

Plants - the only good guys in this tale

This will be my last post on GW as I’m switching this blog to talk about other important things, namely Me and my life in Tokyo, Japan.

Aren’t we all just random?

I may have found a completely useless Wordpress plugin that when clicked will show a random ad equally useless post of this blog. Go ahead and delve into the mind of Me, you’ll amazed at the uselessness of Vazdot. You can get the plugin here.

I had found Joost before and I couldn’t get in, it occurred to me that if I want an invitation (and I do) I should ask the most brilliant people in the world namely you. I don’t offer anything but my gratitude. Comment to this post and I will grab it as soon as it is posted and everyone that comes and reads the posts will see how great you are.



Wired News: Citizen Journalism Wants You!



Wired News: Citizen Journalism Wants You!

Although lately all I’ve done here is post links I find and put a rather 2 cent opinion around the link I may have found something to fuel me to add more than my 2 cents I may go up to 4 cents someday, yes I dream big. This is a site that may give a bigger audience to write stories that effect us all. It’s a little wider than Wikipedia but not so wide as to miss the point of whatever subject it’s reporting on. If you think you have something to add check them out and pay attention when they publish something on the web.

To summarize:

Can large groups of widely scattered people, working together voluntarily on the net, report on something happening in their world right now, and by dividing the work wisely tell the story more completely, while hitting high standards in truth, accuracy and free expression?

…If there’s a piece of it you’re especially interested in — Assignment Zero interviews Jimmy Wales about the social architecture that makes Wikipedia work (a piece we will do — then you can work on it with others at our site, and maybe get the byline, even though everyone else gets (some) credit, too.

…I suggested to Evan a big, sprawling, pro-am, people-powered report on all the various forms of crowdsourcing and peer production now popping up across the social landscape, as the tools for online collaboration keep improving and people find new uses for the web.

…I wanted to cast a wide net, from well-publicized cases like Wikipedia, Linux software and the Mozilla browser, to less familiar examples like community patent review or open-source spying, newer ventures like open-source footware, or the crowdsourcing of consumer electronics, along with open-call T-shirt design and efficient collaboration among knitters, which is peer production, too.



New View

Hello All, You may notice some changes around the place (this blog). It all started when I was born a poor black child, that’s not true it should be “I was born a poor Puerto Rican child” which would hit the truth on the head as truth shoud be hit. I’ve gone back to far, I should be talking about this blog and not me (I am apt to do). I use Wordpress for my blogging software which is a helluva lot easier that the straight html I used to use in the bad ole days. Anyway (I sound like an old man now that cannot just tell what needs to be told and instead just rambles about nothing, anyway I saw this stray what I thought was a dog …) anyway I updated the software and got this bug up my ass and found this wordpress theme called Anaconda I thought it was cool looking and gives my out of work hands something to do. BTW: I’m out of work because my project finished successfully and my health issues have forced me to generate funds from home. Back to the new theme. It’ll take some time to get this blog totally setup to my liking so please stop by occasionally and see what’s new. Please leave me a comment as to how you like the view.



Experiments in Language

I have no idea how this will come as my Japanese reading needs work but I had this insane idea to get my blog translated in Japanese Vazdot in Japanese. The title hear may give you a hint. This link may be hit or miss but if it proves to be dependable I’ll put a link on this page. But since machine translation has a lot to be desired I may forget about this little experiment.
Update:
Before I forget I decided to put the link up at right.  Be forewarned that this link may not work each time you click



Adsense be sudtle

I viewed this site using a different operating system (Windoze) and was amazed on the effectiveness on my Firefox extensions to block advertisements. It worked so well that I has unable to see the mess I created besides my prose. I’ve decided to scale back and offer a few advertisement that my be beneficial without going overboard. I’ll keep the Amazon links on the right as this is the gift giving season and gifts can be difficult to chose, so why not just certificates so that the receiver can chose what he/she wants no more fruit cakes). An the beneficial tip I can offer you all is the Google Apps that are free or next to nothing. A lot more stable than those crappy app from miscrsoft land.




The lazy blogger strikes again

I’m becoming a very lazy blogger. I’ve got issues with my eyes (sounds like a cop out). I do read the net when I can and I read a blog entry that I want to share with you. A well written rebuke to the asshole rush (ditto heads BEGONE!), read and emphasize: http://mukundar.blogspot.com/2006/10/michael-j-fox-versus-rush-limbaugh.html



Good and bad

New design and hardware for my blog, I needed to find a design and stay with it. I like this design so if aren’t any villagers storming the castle entrance I’ll stay with this design for awhile. The site is hosted at godaddy which has good rates but why does the the banner at the top of the page from godaddy say “This page is hosted free, does that entitle me to a refund ’cause I paid something for this. I installed my own blogging software on godaddy ’cause the “free” blog software from godaddy is crap.

Now now on to real life …

A few things got started this week. Bad and good like usual. The bad is about my health, I was told by a eye specialist that since the problem with my eyes fluctuate that any serious repair would be useless since there was a good chance the work would be useless. Time to wait for the money for stem cells. Which brings me to the good, the wife and I had a meeting with the folks that would make our product. We’ll start our first business!!! Well the first step at least but a million mile march starts with a single first step. I found a hospital in China that will give me umbilical cord stem cells. Not a cure but hopefully will reset the damage to my nerves so that my legs an eye to return to the state they were in before my body started attacking itself. I know what to do now so if damage begins anew I’ll be ready for it.
