we be bloggin’

So for today’s news I have some doozies for all of you.

First up we have a teacher who burned a cross onto a students arm. uhh What?!

Ok so this guy is a ’science’ teacher but his faith is more important, so important he has to force it a upon everyone else’s kids. Imagine if his kids went to a school where the teacher was all about nazism? AND he was jewish? I bet he would be complaining to the board because some asshat teacher thinks is more important to corrupt our youth instead of teaching them to keep an open mind.

Man tries to pay with pennies, police are called!!!!

What a way to waste our tax dollars… Why was the police called? The man got gas, 10 dollars worth and tried to pay with pennies. The clerk didn’t accept the pennies and the Driver was upset about this whole thing so the clerk called the cops and he left.
Now the issue here is… PENNIES ARE STILL CURRENCY!!! If your shop is not accepting money then close down. It’s not his fault he tried to pay you with what is still considered CURRENCY. Sucks to count out 10 dollars worth of pennies but if it’s this big an issue the United States should consider getting rid of the copper coins. 

Asshat numbero Dos 

Last but not least… When in Brooklyn watch out for the crossing deer. VERY dangerous… Wait there are deer in Brooklyn NY?!@! Well at least they put up a sign in brooklyn to help protect those crossing deer. Another sign of mismanagement of government funds…

Hello I am a web developer and a graphic designer. I work on browsers all day long. So I know a bit about them when it comes to developing for them and using them.

I just downloaded firefox 3 and was disappointed. I am on a mac and my friend tells me these issues don’t happen on a PC. I found that FF3 when it came to javascript was horrifically slow. That is my major big gripe with it… thats it really.

Some people are upset that the home button is gone. But really? In a world where JS is getting more an more popular you would think that this browser would take care of this problem. Safari is still the best browser out there that I use (not saying it doesn’t have it’s own problems) Yeah there seems to be some memory loss with safari. BUT FF3 virtual and real memory is up through the roof. Compared to Safari which has been open since yesterday. I do like the new interface (partly because it looks more like safari then it ever did)

But now having to wait for themes/extensions/addons to be updated is kind of a pain. Vista anyone?
So these maybe issues just with the mac, but if thats the case then use safari! problem solved.

And yes after doing some research safari is the fastest browser when it comes to most things on the web. (yes even opera) 

I was on the net again searching through news (duh). When I came across this article about a substitute teacher (here in CT!) who was sentenced up to 40 years for showing pornography to her class.

Well, the truth of the matter is, she had a computer screen up which was visible to the students when pop-ups (aka bad programs like spyware, malware etc) started to pop up with a bunch of porno. Low an behold she got up to 40 years. 

And to think, all of that could of been avoided if only they had a mac in the school. Sad.
And justice prevailed!! ??

Wow, at least buy macs for our children’s sake….

P.S. For those of you that don’t know it would be impossible for ‘pop ups’ to just appear on a mac screen since they are more secure and need less looking after. Hence no virus protection or spyware protection.

I saw some disturbing show on the discovery channel about how some young people in muslim countries didn’t condemn suicide bombings because they said they couldn’t afford proper weapons. Today I opened the news on google and read about this new bombing of a Danish Embassy in Pakistan. For those of you who didn’t know the great danes published a cartoon depicting the prophet muhammad. Islam generally forbids any depiction of the prophet — even favorable ones — fearing that it may lead to idolatry.

Well a lot has happened since it’s first publishing and re-publishing of the cartoon. Now the bombing. I would like to point out that the bomb killed about 4 people in Pakistan. NONE of the embassy workers were hurt. THAT’S SHOWING THEM!!! Way to get your point across by killing your own innocent people. I’m sure the prophet muhammad would approve of such actions.

This whole thing reminds me of some elementary kids going at it. One kid calls the other kids mom a name. They then start to fight. (except unlike school, everyone else is going to get hurt) Instead of growing up, and realizing that no matter what that kid says about his mom IT WON’T CHANGE A THING. So what, that he called your mom a whore. Is she? If she is then he is just stating a fact if she isn’t then him calling her names won’t make her one.

I am all about freedom of religion and speech. You can believe what you want & when you want it. As long as you don’t hurt others in the process. IF I did say something bad about the prophet Muhammad I shouldn’t be hunted down. Don’t force your views on me. 

You don’t like the cartoon? Then don’t view it, or voice what you have to say. But to blow up a building and kill your own innocent people?I’m no military strategist but something tells me that is not the correct way of waging a war. 

Kill people over a cartoon? Is this what (insert your God here) wanted?

All of our ancestors just rolled over in their graves…
