Advocation

This is proposition advocation and just what am I advocating for?  Well there is a very short list that I truly care about advocating for but improving computer and digital literacy is a must for technology to progress beyond our current means.  So therefore I believe the logical course of action would be...


I am advocating for improving computer literacy!

Screenshot!

So, my desktop tends to be very straight forward and nothing over the top or flashy is open when I'm actually working.  I've noticed that sometimes I've got music playing, but most of the time I will have the text document at full screen and only that program running.  As for composition in digital space there is hardly a difference from the older method of pencil and paper, or even a typewriter.  The major differences in composing in a digital medium consist of mostly fancy features like special fonts or characters.  Something that is not shown in this particular screenshot are the compositions that I frequently work on using the program GarageBand™.  Music is very much a composition and with the digital tools available to the masses there are new works daily for public and private audiences.  Understanding these composing tools takes time and effort and the end result can be breath-taking or steaming pile of crap.  Most programs and tools now-a-days come with help files that are there for your disposal, so if you don't understand some of the tech jargon search either the web or help file to find out just what those phrases really mean to the average joe.  Perhaps I'll link one of my compositions for you all to enjoy...

My Avatar


My avatar is only in it's first stages but he has silver wings to go with his "fallen angel" outfit.  The outfit I believe is an expression of how I feel about myself.  The angel part describes niceness but the fallen half underlines a perhaps darker streak that doesn't always.  The wings match the outfit but don't have any personal meaning to myself.

Television Concerns

The TV in the earliest stages of was just a pleasant distraction from the sad facts of life.

Wikipedia Scandal?

So, the discussion page for "Oral Sex" on Wikipedia states that there is no interest in censorship and therefore there are numerous pictures which would be deemed inappropriate in the ordinary community but in the encyclopedia they are related to the topic.  Personally, I believe that pictures are unnecessary to assist in compiling all the information available on this topic.

News, what is it?

There are many different kinds of information and nearly all of them would/will make it on "the news".  News worthy ideas are mostly conflicts and triumphs that fit the owner of that medium's agenda.  Personally I use the news to find out what is going on in the world and what people believe/think about events.  Some of the reasons I watch/read the news are to find out what the global markets are doing and what new conflicts have arisen.  Good, reliable news doesn't exist in any medium because everyone has some bias or twist on the news story.

Blog Assignment

"No more work," as quoted by the screaming, rioting prisoners in the Prison District of Neverwinter in Neverwinter Nights.  I think that there should be anarchy ruling the wiki!
