Don’t be a walking billboard.

You know how people put ribbons on their shirts or even their cars to raise awareness for a certain charity or campaign?  What’s the difference between a pink ribbon on your chest and a Nike swoosh?  Is Polo or Ralph Lauren a brand that you strongly believe in and want to promote?  Why are you paying to wear clothes that carry their advertising on them?  I think we should all have the confidence in ourselves and display it in the form of race car driver advertising.  If you want me to promote your brand, you should give me a contract.  Otherwise, no deal.

Kallie told me that she went to the store the other day and someone had left coupons next to a bunch of products through the store.  It wasn’t just the store discounts, but someone must have had a bunch of coupons they were not going to use and took the effort to leave them by all the associated products.  Fun!  I’m sure a bunch of people had smiles on their faces.

human knowledge belongs to the world.

You’re ridiculous if you claim your knowledge is your own.  There is so much that contributes to your knowledge that you’re taking for granted.  Also, if you keep your knowledge to yourself, you’re also preventing someone else from doing something else with it.  Maybe even making it better.

I converted over the games from the old php-nuke site to wordpress.  Let me know if you have any problems.

It’s been long  enough out of the original Napster era and RIAA filing extravaganzas that we can revisit this and see if there has been change.  In fact, there’s probably even room to take it a step further away from even acquiring music at all.  Some people may rely solely on places like last.fm, pandora, satellite radio, and grooveshark for their music needs.  Who needs to spend any money at all?

I’ve been away from the game long enough that some of you may not know my involvement in the free online role playing game, Legend of the Green Dragon.  This weekend, June 4th  (6/4), a bunch of players are getting back on as a sort of reunion, and I thought it might be a good time to share the link with you in preparation.

It’s a fun text based game, that is energized a lot by players interacting with one another and taking on the role of the character they set up.  As the creator of the site, I took on the role of the king.  You should join us this weekend if you’ve never played! Here’s the announcement from the site:

Hear ye, Hear ye
In the Sixth month and on the fourth day of this very year…

There shall be a gathering.. a reunion.. of those that once shared a fate,
A fate so epic that it has bound them,
One to the other, throughout all eternity.

They come one by one, from the depths of the sea,
From the heights of the mountains and treetop dwellings.
From castles and keeps, temples and catacombs
From the peaks of mount Olympus
And the hidden shadows of the underdark.

They gather from shore to shore..
To be united once again in the Land of Six.

Yes.. The KING Sixf00t4 has vowed he, himself, would be honored
To make an appearance at such a gathering
Of some of the finest warriors the gods have ever known…
Join us on June 4th!
For this too shall be an Epic Adventure!

The internet is a place of free information by people just like you and me.  Sure, the quality of that information varies greatly, but it’s still information.  As they say, Human knowledge belongs to the world!  So here are the top 100 documentary movies free to watch online.  There are some real gems in there.
