And weekend's done. - 06 January 2008

Weekends where I work screw with my weekend sense. When my days off start dividing, it can be a little weird.

For those in Michigan who are unemployed, about to be unemployed, or make under $40,000 per year, No Worker Left Behind will provide up to $5,000 / year for you to pursue an associate's degree in "a high-demand occupation, emerging industry, or entrepreneurship program". This is a one-shot effect, but if it helps someone, yay for college cash, right? You’ll have to check in with a Michigan Works! Service Center to figure out the complete parts of eligibility and to get the ball rolling.

Al-Qaeda messages, coming to cellular telephones near you? For those days when you need a quick burst of inspiration from Osama bin Laden during your day. Or to spread the message in regions where high speed data lines are not easily accessible but everyone has cellular phones.

e_moon60 reminds us why the First Amendment was crafted into the Constitution - to prevent religious denominations from dominating, privileging themselves, fighting with each other, and doing things that would make the young American nation die a horrible, horrible death not too soon after its incorporation.

Amnesty International has released Human Rights Reports for the world again. If you’re curious, here's the report on the United States, chock full of secret detention, torture allegations, awful prison conditions, and the death penalty. To compare, the report on Canada, where there are still some items of concern, like women’s rights and indigenous people’s rights, but comparatively is a much shorter and less destructive report than the United States. I’d like to have a country where the dossier is small-to-nonexistent, and where all the items mentioned on it also have “Legislators are working on fixing this problem at the time of this report.” Is that too hard to ask?

If you don’t have the money, or feel particularly DIY, or didn’t pass a check at your last taser party, you can build a shocking device out of the components of a disposable flash camera. I’m not entirely sure if there’s a regulated current or voltage in that design, or how much current/voltage is passed in that shock. It takes some soldering to put it all together, but it’s a pretty cheap method of doing things, and could potentially be amped up if the flash devices were put together in a circuit and discharged all together. Ouch.

This peanut looks like a duck.

And on that note, we turn it in for the night. Study the fluctuations of The Doctor's anarchist streaks while I’m gone.

while in washington, people who are disabled, like myself, have to wait 5 years before even being seen by the department of vocational rehabilitation, and it's practically impossible to get any help at all to find work if you're disabled unless you can't take care of yourself... 8P

i really need to move somewhere else... preferably some place like the british west indies...
