		<description><![CDATA[I just won a design contest a few weeks ago. Here's the usual pitch for these contests. Somebody a new logo/site/banner created for their fledgling business, and offers a prize between $50 to a few grand? Some offer nothing but the glory of designing the winning entry. The theory is; if enough entries are submitted, one should be a winner. The winning entry has to guess correctly what you want. Instead of paying someone to create a quality product, you just hope someone can read your mind. I just entered another contest, but 10 minutes into this, I realized this is a total waste of time.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was sitting here eating a rather meaty sandwich, and I thought God damn this is a good sandwich. Obviously, a sandwich without meat is frankly laughable, so I always start with a roll and some sort of meat. I tend not to use store-bought sandwich meats, since you get more texture if you cook the meat yourself. My favorites are roast chicken, roast beef, crispy bacon and chorizo sausage.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Has anybody ever considdered exactly how animals communicate with one another? What if the sounds animals make, such as the tunes birds sing, are much like an internet Modem..... it all sounds like one sound, and yet a paticular message is being sent in that sound that we don't reconize with our own understanding.]]></description>

Children institutionalized at very early ages are likely to have bonding problems, and taking away their computers will not resolve the problem.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The candidates will have to decide where they stand on the issue of unversal health care. Currently, it is being pushed aside by immgration and the War. True universal health care would involve the abolishment of the employer based system, and force every citizen into using the same health care options afforded to all. The problem with Unversal Health Care, as I see it, whose clothes will it be wearing? The socialist cloak or the capitalist trousers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last month, in the Yirmumah Has A Posse post, I wrote about content being stolen from my Super Unit 5000 site, and reposted elsewhere. It turns out, there is an official name for this activity, called blog scraping. Where automated software scans blogs, searching for and copying content. Scraping is essentially is stealing content that is not owned by the individual initiating the scraping process.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a previous job, I used to be the Lead User Interface designer for an enterprise level CMS (Content Management System). One thing that made that position frustrating, was trying to overcome the limitations of software design that I had no control over. Example, one of my last tasks, was to update the "New" icon. The new icon creates new records. Two months after undertaking that task, the icon was still not updated. Why? The Engineers who coded the interface had created 20 "New" icons over the years. However, they all had different file names, located in different folders, yet they all looked the same (assuming they used the correct height/width attributes). I was told it "was impossible" to update any of the 300 icons in the system, because they suffered the same fate as the "new" icons.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like computer games, and things you can hack/mod. I Half-Life mod, which took the storyline and level locations the columbine massacre. The plot was, go into a school and shoot as many people as you could before the police arrived. It didn't go over very well. Actually when you think about it.... in this situation, the game didn't promote the violence, but the violence promoted the game, so perhaps those in society who are against games should get their priorities straight.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm getting pretty tired of people coming to my door once a month to hand me pamplets about Jesus. They're in Spanish, so I can't read them anyway. They don't even bother with bi-lingual, they jump straight to Spanish. I remember reading somewhere that Americans who can't speak English have an income that's something like 60% of those who can. Which brings me to the "official language" buzz. I think it's a lot of BS.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At least I'm not the only one who's frustrated with the job hunting scene. There are comments in my previous post about being a jack of all trades. When you offer me a job, check what state I live in, at least. I live in California, and there is NO WAY I could accept a job in New York. Because that is 2800+ miles from where I live. That is a seriously long commute...]]></description>
