the death of michael jackson

it makes me feel kind of sad that someone that seemed so cool back in the early 80s, turned into whatever he turned into.

he may have seemed quite crazy, and possible sick to some people; however i think it's important to remember that we're *allowed to be eccentric*!
a lot of people were CONVINCED he was guilty of certain crimes just because he was weird and weird looking.
and that's not evidence of any crime or criminality.
if we've learned anything from Michael Jackson it's this:
normal looking and normal seeming people from Wall Street or Washington DC have been tried and convicted of some pretty crazy things during the past 10 years.
meanwhile a very abnormal seeming and unusual looking Michael Jackson was *not* convicted of much of anything.
something to think about.

The right of American citizens to merely look or seem weird should be preserved.
individual uniqueness and individuality is what separates our country from being just like communist china.
"weird" ideas foster innovation.
if everyone was exactly the same the world would be quite dull.

interesting road signs

the fact that the sings even exist says more about this topic than I feel like saying right now.

Tetris turns 25 today

aside from Pacman, Tetris may be the most recognized videogame worldwide.
sometimes elegance and simplicity of design are the things that truly last.
I think it's pretty safe to say that zero of the videogames that come out in 2009 will still be popular in 2034.
