Now Playing: Foreclosure of a Dream by Megadeth
Mood: Pissed, Busy, Creative

Hello. It's me again with another update. Well, I have launched the new site and I am pretty proud of it. There are some broken links and I am looking into what I want to do with the content of the page but for the most part it is good. What should a personal website be really? Professionally, I have never been very "vocal" on the web. I do collaborate on projects and ideas with other tech professionals but for the most part I am my own man. Also I rarely do anything that is "inventing the wheel" groundbreaking. From a social networking perspective, MySpace and Facebook make it very easy for me to log in and add things quickly. It is becoming my crutch. I guess I just like having a place a can mess around with html and post some of the things I dig in this world. I love my family and my friends. I love general geekery too. Check out the new site. I hope you enjoy it!

In more serious news: what the hell is going on in this country? What is going on with the world? I am left dumbfounded by the "necessity" of our government to "bailout" the companies that drove themselves into the ground while all the while awarding their failures with huge bonuses to their executives. How is this right? How is it responsible for our government to spend this huge amount of taxpayer money to "save" the western capitalist economy while at the some time saying "it would cost too much to provide universal healthcare"? I have never been so afraid for the future of America as I am today. People kill me when they blame Obama for this "bailout" spending! This spending is necessary. Who do I blame? I blame the previous administrations of Bush AND Clinton. The deregulation of securities coupled with the "blind eye" mortgage approvals has brought this on. Why didn't people see this? Why didn't we listen to those that did see? My final thought is this: where is MY bailout? I have a job, pay my mortgage and my TAXES (therefore I am paying NUMEROUS mortgages under this socialist plan). Maybe I should just stop paying...obviously someone will pay my bills for me... (Side Note: I pay for the banks crimes, the US auto industry, other peoples bad mortgages and yet my government won't let me own an automatic weapon...just a thought).

Thanks for listening,
Ryan
