I’ll work on MadOgre.com’s theme later. I’ve played with a few things but not digging any of them at the moment. This may take the rest of the week. I’ve got many things on my mind other than art and layout. Any art you see here now is just a place holder because I’m just screwing around and eventually just got up and left.
Thank you to Steve Ting and Terry Hernlund for their expert assistance. These guys are super awesome.
All the MadOgre.com data is here as well as OldMadOgre.com… Nothing is lost! Woo-Hoo! A million internet years worth of my ramblings is saved for posterity and mockery. It’s all good. The one thing that I am missing though… is my Blog Roll. Huh. I’m going to have to redo that whole list. Which is fine. But I’ll work on that later.
Mrs. Ogre as been upset with me about the idea of selling MadOgre.com. She insists that I keep it for some time longer. Just as well. Best offer so far was for a pair of Berettas and an FN SCAR rifle. Which is nice, but not nice enough to have me let go of this. That and I’m not all that interested in the SCAR. You get the point.
I’m going to be moving MadOgre.com to a new server to save money.
At the same time, I’ve taken into consideration the selling of the MadOgre.com Domain. (Not the IP) And I reserve the title as “The Ogre” for my own use.
I’m open to reasonable offers. I once turned down $6,000. So any offer would have to start out there, but I feel it should be worth a great deal more.
Make your offer to me via email, or message me on facebook. Any offer accepted, I’d expect payment within a matter of a few days. And I’d expect payment in cash or money order before I transferred the domain. PayPal is not acceptable by any means.
I’ve not talked much about the Zimmerman Trial here. But I feel like I want to vent my spleen about this. Please bear with me here.
The prosecution has turned this into a huge clusterfuck, obscuring Florida Law and interjecting race as an issue to pander to the media hype. In the prosecution’s argument they railed that Zimmerman wasn’t afraid when he got out of the car because he had a gun on him. As if there was something wrong with that. Being Afraid isn’t a condition that shows premeditation to murder. Being afraid was what happened after Travon started bouncing Zimmerman’s head off the concrete like he was dribbling a basketball. And according to Florida Law, that’s all Zimmerman needed to legally justify his use of deadly force. The fact Zimmerman had a legally carried and conceal pistol on him did not justify Travon for ambushing and attacking him.
Travon was a drug using thug and attacked Zimmerman. Zimmerman exercised his human right to self defense. Travon died not because Zimmerman had a gun and had murderous intent. Travon died because he was a violent thug that attacked another human being who in this case, was able to use lethal force. The violent thug got what he deserved. Simple as that.
The Race Card being thrown out by the Media and the Prosecution is disgusting. They took a simple case according to Florida Law and turned it into a pathetic media circus.
There is a lot of fuss over the government eavesdropping on calls and emails. As if this was all something new.
We knew about this 15 years ago. Wired Magazine covered this when the program was called “Carnivor”. And even then it was old hat.
If you are just now getting worried about this… you’re late to the game.
If you name your baby boy “Sebastian”, you are a horrible parent. That is just not a good name for any Boy unless you expect him to grow up working as Decorator or Wedding Planner.
Sorry for the light postings… I have no internet access at home. Or phone line. Yet. Working on it.
In the grand scheme of things, phone and internet is a luxury and I’ve had higher priorities. Such as food, water, electricity and setting up a new home. Which is a process and not a destination I have found.
My wife made all this look so easy.
For those that don’t know, she’s still in Utah, with 4 of my boys and I’m here on the East Coast with 2 of them. This does not make me a happy Ogre. I miss my wife. So I’m grumpy for lack of sleep and pissed off for a lack of sex.
Auto makers have been putting back up cameras on cars for some years now. Its proven to be solid tech.
Every bike I’ve ever owned, the mirrors show me what my elbows look like. And I don’t have a neck like an owl.
Put rear view cameras on the bike and a small display where the mirrors are, so we can know what’s behind us and if we can change lanes safely. A head check might not catch that guy coming up on you at high speed.
This shouldn’t add more than 500 bucks to a brand new bike.
It’s interesting living outside of a Marine base. One can occasionally hear the rapid fire reports of small arms, and the overhead flights of V-22 Osprey and heavy Chinook helicopters.
At any eating establishment one can overhear the conversations of Grunts… The topic of shooting is common. I feel at home here. Even if I’m addressed as Sir by these young Grunts… America’s warriors. So young, they still have spots. Can’t yet grow facial hair… Yet they are our front lines. The tip of the spear that is our national will.
Observing them, I am impressed. Well behaved, clean cut, razor sharp physically and mentally.
I’m proud of them all. They are our Nation’s Sons… Our best and brightest… So much potential if they were in any other industry… Yet they are willing to lay down their lives at the command of a Government that spends them so cheaply. This saddens me, and fills me with pride at the same time… Because they are our warriors.
The humidity in Jax is comfortable to me. Weather is warm now, soon to be hot. But I’m enjoying it.
My laptop died during the move. I’ve no internet at home. So vids, posts, and writing is going to be infrequent at best for awhile. I’ll need to get a new phone too. I’ll need a local number. T-Moble sucks here as much as it did in Vernal. Didn’t think that was possible… So I will be looking at Verizon.
Overall, everything is as expected and I’m happy to be here. Things will be better once I get some furniture, utilities, and such… But we are doing fine.
