Speaking of Paranoia

Speaking of Paranoia.. look at the ads Google placed on my blog. They're listening!

My Blood Kin, Easter 2012

I'm in the process of consolidating my blogs, moving them to my flagship blog where the daily views and searches are much higher.

This is a nice picture of my daughters and grand children on Easter Sunday 2012.

Calling me!

Yard work is calling to me. Mike...!! Too bad the yard is in Indiana and I'm in Michigan.

Meet my new Michigan neighbor who moved in while we were in Indiana.

Solomon missed one truth!


Wise Solomon missed one truth: one woman in a Godly marriage can love a man more than a thousand affairs.

All my heart


You are my internet friends, for I have shared all my heart. I have held nothing back.

If a man stands in the forest & no woman hears him... is he still wrong? from Dave Royer



 

Battleship INSPIRES! DON'T MISS IT!

Mary and I are sci fi movie freaks. We love The Avengers, Spiderman, Batman, on and on and on, and we will make every effort to see each version as often as possible this summer.
BUT!!
There is a movie that doesn't have the large following of an already committed fan base, and doesn't have men and women that have been transformed by technology or the gods or evolution into super heroes that is losing money AND IT SHOULDN'T.
That movie is BATTLESHIP.


Mary and I saw it this week for the first time. THE VERY NEXT NIGHT we went again.
The movie shows how ordinary men with very real limitations go up against an enemy with superior fire power.
Great moments? When the museum piece battleship The Missouri is put back into service, manned by both American and Japanese sailors (inspiring in itself, two former enemies working together) and aided by the very necessary old veterans who are the only ones who know how to run the old girl.
Great moments? When a discouraged amputee vet finds himself called back into service man to man against a very foreign invader.
Mary and I will get back to the other summer block busters. As soon we've seen Battleship a few more times.

Google Wins, Oracle Loses, God's Side?

The second phase of the three part trial has gone a different path than the first part. The jury had decided in the first part that Google had infringed on Oracles patents, but at the conclusion Oracle was not allowed to pursue any judgement against Oracle, tipping off those in the know that the future looked bleak for Oracle in this case.
Now the judge, who has written Java software himself, pointed out that, in my language, that you can patent the ladder, but you can't patent the window you want to go into. You can patent the tool, but you can't patent what the tool does.
This is the foundation for patent law, a guiding principle that the control freaks guarding the money bins lose sight of so easily.
Price your product too high, (which you have to do to buy a mass of marketing, a slew of patents, and a gaggle of high priced patent lawyers, and somebody creative will invent a more efficient method of doing the same thing.
And yes, God DOES take a side in this. When ever poor people complain that they've been shut out, God LISTENS.
