I just put up a new site with a PDF eBook and audio book that teaches Myspace for adults. It’s not just for the kiddies anymore.
Let me know what you think? If you’re interested in a preview of the book, let me know in the comments. I’d like to get some more feedback on it, so I might be inclined to swing you a free preview copy.

I am working on putting together a site that teaches you how to make money online. I’m just getting started so there’s not much up there right now, but I’ve got tons of content to add. So, keep checking back and let me know what you think.
Life is full of coincedences. I was just thinking yesterday about what might help Ron Paul cinch the GOP nomination. It’s not looking good right now, but I really wish the Republican party would wake up and see the good that this man is trying to accomplish. Well anyway, I was thinking “Wow, how great would it be to get Ron Paul selected as the military’s choice for president.” Today I ran across this article that looks like it’s already looking that way.
Ron Paul, the choice of the military
I really hope that this makes to the major media outlets. Dr. Paul (and the rest of the country) really needs all the friendly buzz he can get.
Let’s do what we can to help get Ron Paul elected. He is the best chance we have of surviving the crisis that our country is in.
I’ve just posted a bunch of new websites, well subdirectory sites under one domain really. Here’s a short list that I’ll keep adding to.
Evidently there is a new Star Wars video game in production from LucasArts called Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. The idea is that this game follows the storyline between Episode III and IV. If what I’ve read is correct though, I’m really conflicted.
What I’ve read is that the game follows the secret apprenctice of Darth Vader during the time between Episode III and IV. If that’s the case, it goes against the rules outlined by Yoda in Episode I; “Always 2 there are, a master and an apprentice”. If this game follows the apprentice of Darth Vader, who is the apprentice of the Emperor, then that would make 3.
Aside from that, the trailer makes the game look pretty cool. But, then the trailers always do. I’ve been sorely disappointed in some of the previous Star Wars games. So, I hope LucasArts redeems themselves with this one.
It looks like it’s going to be out sometime in 2008 for most of the popular consoles like XBox 360, Nintendo DS, and PS3.
I’m sure I’ll have to grab a copy when it comes out. I just hope it lives up to the reputation set by the movies, and is not a disappointment like some of the previous games.
According to an article over on techfreep.com there is a chance that the Large Hadron Collider “supercollider” being developed by CERN could destroy the world.
For those of use who don’t fully understand what a “supercollider” is or why we should be concerned about CERN building the largest one ever, this article may be a little alarming.
The gist is this: The supercollider sends protons shooting in opposite directions around a 16.7 mile racetrack at speeds reaching 99.999999% the speed of light. The goal is to produce a mini “big bang” when the protons collide (thus the name supercollider). One of the theoretical results of this collision is that a tiny black hole will form. The hope is that the black hole would “evaporate” just leaving something called Hawking radiation.
However, some fear that the black hole will not just “evaporate”. That could be catastrophic. If the black hole were to grow, it could spell the end of the Earth.
I for one, plan to follow this a little more closely. Get ready to hold on to your britches, because CERN is hoping to launch this sometime in 2007.
Just finished reading an article about a company called Metabolix that makes biodegradable plastic. Pretty cool stuff, but not the biggest shocker.
The real shock to me was that traditional plastic is made from oil (yep the same stuff used to make gasoline!). I had no idea, and evidently neither does 72% of the U.S. population. The article also states that 10% of the oil we import is used to make plastic. If we could use that 10% for making gasoline instead of plastic, that next trip to the gas pump might not be so painful to my wallet.
It seems that Target has picked up on this new technology and is using Metabolix to manufacture some of their gifts cards. The new cards are available in about 128 of Target stores and are made from fermented sugar instead of traditional plastic. They are also 100% biodegradable in all environments.
I really hope that other big companies pick up on this and start asking to have their products manufactured with this stuff.
For those who don’t know, my little sister has quadriplegic cerebral palsy. She was born CP and a multitude of other problems, and spent the first few months of her life in intensive care at Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis.
She’s 13 now, and still struggling with the effects of the disease. She has endured many months in hospital intensive care and many surgeries. She has recently had a rod placed in her spine to help correct the curvature caused by the constant pressure from her hypertonic muscles. She’s had similar surgeries on her hips.
She’s a little trooper, and much smarter than an outsider would ever imagine. The constant spasms and tightness in her muscles don’t allow her to communicate normally. She can say some words, but it has taken her a long time to get there. You can see the frustration on her face when she has something to share, but can’t let anyone know it. She’s a little teenage girl bursting to jabber on and on, but she just can’t say what she wants.
I love my sister dearly, and would do anything I can to help. In an effort to better educate myself and others about this terrible disease, I have put up a new website at www.cerebral-palsy-articles.com. The plan is to gather as much information as possible about cerebral palsy, its symptoms, its treatments, and the effects of the disease, and post articles to this site to get the information out.
Although there is not much there now, I hope you will take a look and check back often for progress.
As always, thanks for reading.

I just launched a new site that discusses how to make money with affiliate marketing. I think the design is by far one of my favorites so far. I’m proud of the work that I have put into the site. I will also be continuing to update the site with more and more content on making money with Adsense, and affiliate marketing, and making money on the internet in general. Have a look.

Just saw that Bill Turner is not able to keep up with railstips.org and is asking if anyone would like to take it over. This would certainly be a good project for a Rails fan with some extra time to spare. If you’re interested, be sure to head on over and check it out.
John, this one especially goes out to you. I think this would be a great project for you.
UPDATE - John did decide to snatch it up. Good luck John.
