Well what do you know Paypal wants to make a more global currency.
"Presuming aliens won't have terrible Ebay experiences, PayPal means to position themselves to take on payments in the cosmos: 'With our fifteen years of experience in global online payments, PayPal has a unique perspective to speak to the possibilities of an interplanetary economy.' Apparently, Paypal is taking up bedmates with Virgin Galatic along with Buzz Aldrin and the SETI Institute to allow you to 'explore the possibilities of travel' as well as tourism and commerce."

Oral History
One of the things that I am doing this year is to buy a a good digital recorder likezoom h4n at guitar center . I am wanting it for some projects that I am working on for that involves some oral history. I have some old cassettes of my grandfather and I wish I would I would have had a digital recorder. It may have survived.
Well I hope that you have a great day.
XBox Zero
oh this is fun
"Ars is reporting that Microsoft XBox One Kinect will not work on Windows PCs. It uses a proprietary connector and an adaptor will not be available. If you want Kinect for your PC you will need to buy a 'Kinect for Windows' product. Although the Kinect 1.0 for XBox 360 also had a proprietary connector it came with a USB adaptor for compatibility with older versions of the 360 that lacked the new proprietary port and PC compatibility was quickly hacked up by third parties."

More reading
Well here we go more into History. The hard part is that I have not been reading much of history lately, I have been more desiring to play my DERP DERP HERP instead of reading. Reading to me has become a serious chore to do. Not that I do not like it, I am tired of having to read with all the reading I have to do for school. I mean I just read a pile of stuff and try to get going on it. And it seems more and more work all the time. So now I am just reading sheet music
I hope you have a really good day.
Democrats who hate gays
History takes many shapes and forms. I do believe that this DOMA ruling is one of them. Not the ruling in and of itself, but the anger from the court upon the people of the contry. I am gravely worried. But the fun thing is finding out who the bigots, homophobes and people who hate gays are. I have a list that was given to use by SCOTUS. These are all serving members of the Senate.

This is surprising
I am surprised that google likes the intern...
"It was the best of movies; it was the worst of movies. GeekWire reports that The Internship — the new comedy starring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as two 40-something guys who get internships at Google — is getting high praise from Googlers but low marks from movie critics. Google CEO Larry Page called the movie 'a lot of fun' in his Google+ post, while fellow Google exec Vic Gundotra gushed, 'I laughed a lot while watching this movie!' After screening a sneak preview with Google companions, Wired's Steven Levy wrote, 'From Google's point of view, the movie could not possibly be better.' USA Today's take, on the other hand, is that 'Google has never looked lamer thanks to The Internship.' And the NY Daily News calls the movie 'an unfunny valentine to Google.' But perhaps the unkindest cut of all comes from the NY Post, who suggests that 'maybe The Internship was secretly funded by Bing.' Ouch."

Why Not To Trust Online Voting
This is why not to trust online voting. So when the government says that online voting is good becareful and wary.
An 'online-primary,' claimed as 'fraud-proof' and 'ultra secure,' has turned out to be vulnerable to multiple and fake voting. The four-day election has also the exposed the poisonous divisions created within the centre-right Union Pour un Mouvement Populaire (UMP) by the law permitting gay marriage which took effect last week. ... What was already shaping up as a tense and close election was thrown into utter confusion at the weekend. Journalists from the news site Metronews proved that it was easy to breach the allegedly strict security of the election and vote several times using different names."

Early Summer
I have to admit that this is the time of year I love. This is the time I like to sit in swing sets in arlington va and have a nice backyard fire going on. I mean it is just wonderful time. Freshly mowed yard with the great smell of cut grass, birds singing, and an adult beverage in hand.
I like having also reading a book under the same conditions. Currently I am reading Brave New World.
I hope you have a really great day.
Big Brother Is Coming
Well more of Big Brother.
Though I have to admit that the idea of cutting down police abuse is a good idea.
"The Montreal Policemen's Brotherhood is proposing that officers be equipped with uniform-mounted cameras that can be used to record various interactions. The union says in other jurisdictions where police officers are equipped with point-of-view cameras, the use of force by officers and assaults on officers drops by as much as 60%. One system is currently being tested in Edmonton, Alberta."
