For ages, people have lived many diferent kinds of lives. In order to live, one must eat. Thus we lived, reaping the harvest of the life of the sea. Prosperity came, as we took from the sea only what was necessary. But we are a species we

Love.

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 01:21:14 PDT

What is love, to you? And don't answer that with some pre-programmed, generic response, like "LOVE IS A VERB!!1", or "Love is absolutely committing your entire life to someone.". That doesn't actually saywhat love is to you. How do you quantify love

Holy Crap, It's an Actual Blog Post

I've been reading manga pretty steadily for around a year now. By "pretty steadily", I mean that, since I started, I've read maybe upwards of 50,000 pages of manga. I'm currently keeping up with a list of over 100 titles, either still in monthly serializat

Another sleepless night, I'm still staring at the ceiling I can hear him fighting with her for no good reason. Will this ever end? Will this house be a home again? If I had my way, I'd corner him and say... Put yourself in her position -- all she needs is

Seira - Never

Fri, 06 Mar 2009 19:48:17 PST

Eyes still closed, sunshine shone through the curtains of my eyes. I awoke to your voice, thinking you'll be by my side. You and I lay close at heart. Will you say that when we're apart? Time went too fast to feel your warmth and love. Never too wron

Let Me Be Myself

I guess I just got lost, being someone else. I tried to kill the pain, but nothing ever helped. I left myself behind somewhere along the way, Hoping to come back around to find myself someday. I'll never find my heart behind someone else. I'll never see t

Have you ever given any thought to the fate of your children?

In a home that's broken and silent, The truth will not be heard. In the forceful war of a tyrant, Freedom is a loaded word. In a place where thought is abandoned, Freedom can become a curse. Choose Your Fate Story of the Year Think about it.

As a child, I viewed the world through awestruck eyes that found wonder in everything. As I grew, the reality of life set in me a distrust for simplicity, beauty and kindness. As an adult longing for the days of yore, I mourn society for what we've lost.

iPhone 1.1.3, lockdownd and the New Baseband and Bootloader

Wed, 26 Mar 2008 22:30:05 PDT

If you updated your iPhone to 1.1.3 with iTunes, and then did a downgrade, followed by a soft-update to 1.1.3, you'll notice your phone doesn't actually work as a phone. To fix that, you'll need this: lock

Don't Talk to Me

Fri, 31 Aug 2007 09:33:50 PDT

Politics are a strong topic these days. One in which everyone, despite their actual knowledge of the topic at hand, is very opinionated. And lately, anything political tends to swing towards the upcoming election. Which leads me to a thought I had this mor

Racism vs. Nationalism

Thu, 12 Jul 2007 23:21:35 PDT

Here's some food for thought (and while I'm at it, I'll let you know what I'm eating): Where is the divide between racism and nationalism? Some time ago, I read Honey & Clover, and why it's always felt so significant to me. And I realized why. It's

Apparently fireworks are legal everywhere in Oregon, and since about, oh, 3 months ago, everyone started decided it'd be good to set off REALLY LOUD FIREWORKS AT ALL TIMES OF THE DAY AND NIGHT. Have some freaking respect, people. Had to get that out. Ok

Album Image Hashing and Blog Updates

Sun, 01 Jul 2007 22:25:31 PDT

I decided to change the album image ID hashing from MD5 to CRC32, because the 32-character MD5 hashes were just ugly in the URL. I checked the first 300-some thousand IDs, and there were no collisions, so I think it'll be fine. Also, I'm going to try to

Thu, 01 Mar 2007 10:58:23 PST

Sometimes I wonder to myself; "What am I doing?", "What do I want to do?", "Is this the rest of my life, just like this, every day until I die?". Those kinds of thoughts are depressing. Though in retrospect, I suppose they're the product of a depressed min

There is something in the human heart, the international human heart, that is evil. That's the evil that turns its mind and ears on humanity and is able to say 'I can kill a person in the name of God or religion.' This is not a human being, this a fanat

We had a 4-drive RAID-5 array (80GB drives) that we used to store music and pictures on, that I thought would be safe (because of the whole RAID-5 thing). BUT-- It turns out that hard drives don't like extreme heat. And two of the drives in th

I'm always fighting to get every last bit-per-second out of my home network, and I've always been disappointed with the results. For a little history: Up until a few months ago, I had a 100BaseTX network. I only had 1 machine with a gigabit NIC though,

44.1KHz vs. 192KHz

Fri, 12 May 2006 21:41:42 PDT

Believe it or not, iTunes knows what to do with a sound card capable of 192KHz sound output, and you can hear a difference, and it sounds better, and I'm totally amazed. This is so cool...
