Welcome to Negroland
I am not black, so I may be skirting the boundaries of acceptability here (G***n will have to let me know), but I think he’ll like this link. Welcome to Negroland, written by a white man who rents out buildings to black people in New Orleans (obviously this was written before Katrina). This guy talks a little shit, but I really believe that the guy is NOT RACIST, just honest. Besides, he even has two pics of some black chicks on the front page showing that indeed some of his best friends are black people. Ha!
But her two older daughters, who barely care about their own children, who leave their kids with momma (and baby sister) for days at a time, who don’t work, but run the streets, now they are totally worthless. What irks me the most about the situation is that the daughters take advantage of the fact that I have shown charity to their mom — as long as I don’t evict their mom, and their kids have a place to stay (and they have a place to stay when they need it), they have no reason to contribute.
But I don’t like the fact that she does make her own little (15 year old) daughter go to school. And I don’t like the fact that those grandbabies would be better off in foster care, because they are stuck in that little apartment almost all day, with low-level television (e.g. Jerry Springer). Sometimes, I will take Rayshawn for a ride, like to the hardware store, just to get him out and engage him in conversation — last time, we up up high in a pick up truck , and his little eyes were glued to the scenery around him — like he had seen so little of the world around him — it reminded me of myself, when traveling to a foreign, looking at things so new and foreign to me.
The last straw in the decision to evict her, besides her being behind about $300.00, is that she decided she could afford to pay for air conditioning — when we evicted the man across the hall from her (just a week late), , he gave her his cheap air conditioner — and she put it in and runs it all day and that will cost about 100.00 a month — she didn’t have a/c all last summer and this year till she got a free one — she can’t pay me, but che can afford higher utilities bills. I don’t think so — she has got to go, but I will miss, and worry about that little Rayshawn.
“Hilarious Domain Name Mispronouncings”
This is funny- mispronouncings of domain names:
There are other classic mispronounced domain names. One is the site WhoRepresents.com, with the unfortunate alternate enunciation of WhorePresents.com. But, since it’s in the performing artist arena, maybe it’s not just a misnomer. Another is TherapistFinder.com, for those looking for California marriage and family therapists. Unfortunately, the wrong clientele might stumble upon the site as TheRapistFinder.com. And then there is PenIsland.net, where you can buy custom pens. However, someone could mistake their site name for something else if they pronounce it PenisLand.net.
Joomla
Ooh yeah. Another blog CMS system. *roll eyes* Joomla!
Joomla! is one of the most powerful Open Source Content Management Systems on the planet. It is used all over the world for everything from simple websites to complex corporate applications. Joomla! is easy to install, simple to manage, and reliable.
Yes, but does you CMS system take 10 years to update like Movable Type? Because if it does then you need to start looking for another job…
How I failed the Turing test
A story about a guy being mistaken for a robot on IM.
My groupies loved it. The more celebrity balogna I manufactured, the more they ate it, and the more they loved me.
sexybumkin123: hey.. so you’re famous right?
jmstriegel: Who me? I’m a movie star.
jmstriegel: Shit, I gotta go.
jmstriegel: My limo just arrived and Paris wants her damned sidekick back.
sexybumkin123: Oh my god. Come back!
sexybumkin123: I love you!!!!
Backlink Checker
I found this backlink checker website and I have to say that it’s not very good. I don’t even know why I’m posting it *shrug*. It’s faster than Technorati though, believe you me!
Although it did reacquaint me with a blog comment I made 2 whole years ago at Cruft Box. Nice little blog there.
The Blogger Twins
The Blogger Twins are using their blog as a means to get noticed so that they can be cast on CBS television’s “The Amazing Race”:
The primary reason for wanting to be on the show is to win the money, and the primary motivation for winning the money is so we can afford to build our mother a wheelchair-accessible house. About ten years ago she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and her condition has deteriorated to the point where she can no longer walk. She went broke raising five kids after our father died when we were 12 years old and had to give up her home to the bank. She deserves to spend the rest of her life in a more comfortable home. Our dream is to win the money doing something we love (travel) for someone we love (our mom).
How many punch cards for MP3?
How many of those old school punch cards would it take to record an mp3 file?
Assuming a non-Hollerith encoding with eight bits per column, and an MP3 file encoded at 128kbps CBR, there would be 36,864 cards in that deck, and the card reader would need a throughput of 205 cards per second. It might be wise to include an 8-column sequence number, however, so that a misordered deck can be repaired by a card sorter; with 72 data columns per card, the total is precisely 40,960 cards (40K cards), requiring a 228 card/second throughput.” The 21 boxes of cards needed would by 5 feet 9 inches tall.

Red Cross is Crooked?
Don’t Give Your Hurricane Donations to the Red Cross
he Red Cross, under the Liberty Fund, collected $564 million in donations after 9/11. Months after the event, the Red Cross had distributed only $154 million. The Red Cross’ explanation for keeping the majority of the money was that it would be used to help ‘fight the war on terror’. To the victims, this meant that the money was going towards bombing broken backed third world countries like Afghanistan and setting up surveillance cameras and expanding the police state in US cities, and not towards helping them rebuild their lives.

Google Earth Blog
Introducing the Google Earth Blog
This blog is dedicated to the amazing things the Google Earth application is bringing to the world. You must install Google Earth to really understand and use this blog. This blog isn’t just about the application, but the things you and I can learn about or do with the application. This application in many ways represents a new paradigm in exploring information. This blog and its author are in no way tied to the company Google that produces and owns Google Earth.
When I first saw Google Earth I had the same feeling I had when Mosaic (the first real graphical web browser) was released in 1993. All sorts of amazing things are going to happen because of Google Earth.
My intent is to provide content which will be interesting to both new and experienced users of Google Earth. There may be technical jargon, but I will try to explain or reference any such jargon to keep it understandable to the average user of Google Earth. This blog has a particular emphasis on the use of GPS technology for navigation, recreation (geocaching), and even gaming.

The View From Taiwan is Michael Turton’s blog about life in Taiwan.
Black people loot, white people “find”?
Props to Boing Boing for finding what appears to be biased caption writing for the photos coming out of New Orleans. Apparently some pics of blacks wading thru flooded streets with bags full of goods was captioned as “looting”, while whites doing the same thing was described as having “found” the goods or just “looking through his shopping bag.”
Funny how that works, eh?
Mute
Mute is a photoblog that I like. I would post a picture but I really don’t like the idea of reposting his photos.
Sure I can illegally download from Hollywood & the Music Industry, but I don’t want to screw over the little guy. Because I’m sure he’s making major bank off of his blog, right?
Large Onion
My apologies to those reading this post who have more discernible tastes, but I just could not resist. I mean, how could I when I read a quote like this attached to a picture of a large onion?
“Ladies– when you see that huge onion, do you get the urge to titty-fuck it? I would.
Would you imagine that the quote I lifted that from is from a post about Korean soup? I could not even get to the end of the post after I read that. I needed to share
Makeup @ the workplace
I don’t read many blogs anymore but I still peruse my old-tyme favorites. Read this here post by Mac. I’ll post what in essence she was referring to.
In August 2000, Darlene Jespersen was fired from her position as a bartender at Harrah’s Casino in Reno, Nevada, after the company enacted a new dress code, called the “Personal Best” program, requiring all women in the beverage department to wear makeup, specified as foundation or powder, blush, lipstick and mascara, applied precisely the same way every day to match a photograph held by the supervisor.
Mac didn’t like it because she thinks it’s stupid to require women to wear makeup. Well I disagree, and here’s why. Follow my flowchart…
- Man comes into Casino bar
- Man sees pretty young drink server/bartender WITH MAKEUP
- Man gets loose lips after buying so many drinks so pretty bartender will have excuse to talk to him.
- Man becomes more generous with his tips and buys more drinks because his member is excited because the pretty young bartender is seemingly paying so much attention to him
- END RESULT: The bar makes more money off the drinks and the woman makes more money off the tips.
And I don’t want to hear any bullshit about “Ooh, those women should be able to go to their jobs and not have to be subject to the leering glances of the patrons!” Uh hello! That’s their jobs! They’re not quite on the level of pole dancers where the entire POINT is to excite men but it’s in the same category. Dress sexy, the men like, your wallet will like it, but the IRS won’t like it because we all know that people who work in cash businesses massively underreport their incomes. RIGHT? Forget Ol’ Dirty Bastard picking up his welfare check in a limo, an old roommate of mind had a girlfriend who’s friend’s sister was a stripper and made like $70K a year and was on welfare. Don’t tell me it doesn’t happen.
