New Post Soon
I know I’ve been slacking with posting lately; in my defense, I’ve been busy. I promise a new post is coming this week that will sum up my summer. Its been a summer for business and while I didn’t define it this way on the outset, the goal turned into increasing my revenue streams. But more to come with that later this week.
For the time being, you can read super awesome, and new, blog Of Folly and Of Vice. Also, here is my Manga Avatar. Apparently they are all the rage:

John Wiley Price is Ignorant
In this video, you will find John Wiley Price, Commissioner of Dallas County, TX, get all upset when someone refers to central collections as a black hole. He then demands an apology for using the term black hole because it makes ‘black’ look negative. There is another video where he starts making comparisons and asks why did scientists call it a black hole, why not a white hole? Link here.
Well he is clearly a pinhead. They call it a black hole because it’s black. The lack of light is black and there is no light in a black hole. Is that racist? Maybe the sun is racist. And maybe white men did come up with these terms, as he suggests. I’m willing to bet my life that it was not out of racism. But this isn’t really about science.
This is about the ignorance Price is spewing. It’s comments like this that give others an excuse to play the racism card (or whatever card) in outrageous situations. It gives people a scapegoat. And when people have a scapegoat, they will never take personal responsibility; myself included. So Commissioner Price, keep that in mind. And maybe take a science class.

Comment Spam
Lately I have been getting an unorthodox amount of comment spam, mostly in the form of Trackbacks. In lieu of this I have added a field to the comment form where the user should type ‘notspam’ in order for their comment to be valid. I am not sure if this will work for trackback spam, but I’m really hoping, because I am tired of my inbox being full of it!

Busy Semester
I know I haven’t updated in a while, and that is due to the fact that the semester is now in full swing and it’s going to be a busy one. Some things I have lined up:
- A Computer Graphics class where I will be learning really cool things
- A Business Plan Competition that would help me sky rocket my company into the mainstream
- A Swing Latin and Ballroom Dancing class my friends managed to coerce me into taking
- An Intramural Racquetball League (singles)
Hopefully I will be able to find time to write about all of the above, but especially the first two.
