Watch this video and negate the claims, please.

I really want to know how much is true versus how much is false… public records, not opinions! Ignore the obvious plugs for McCain’s campaign… focus on the rest.

If Obama had anything to do with the creation of this economic situation like this video claims, he should be crucified (not literally) by the media for it. Democrats always claim to look out for the poor, but all this has done has pushed them out to the curb. Someone present me with some facts I can feel better about… this seems all too good to be true.

A Little of the Geeky Background

Before you read any further, get this straight: I DO NOT OWN THE DOMAIN. It is still unknown who purchased the domain.

I’ve got the knowledge that should squelch any thoughts otherwise by any logical person. Admittedly, I found it amusing and slightly humorous, if for no reason but it was grounds for a great lesson in DNS and Domain Registration.

I love my job and the technology I get to deal with on a daily basis… It’s amazing what some people will believe without understanding how the internet, browsers, email clients, and servers work when presented with partial evidence.

Erroneous Claims

All of the sites claiming or inferring John McCain’s campaign owns the domains and registered them privately to dodge the possible scandal are making up what they think is news without actually checking the facts. The truth is it could be anyone that registered the domains (including Sarah Palin herself) but the proof can only be obtained with a subpoena to the Private Registration holder DomainsByProxy. DomainsByProxy happens to be used by GoDaddy and Network Solutions, the biggest domain registrars on the internet. I have used DomainsByProxy for a couple of my domains in the past (and on a somewhat unrelated note I started receiving credit card offers in the mail shortly after I discontinued using their services). That doesn’t mean that my domains were once owned by John McCain’s campaign does it? To reiterate: for the record, I DO NOT OWN THE DOMAIN. It is still unknown who purchased the domain. (more…)

I’m sure you’re seeing a trend on a lot of the blogs and web pages out there with gas prices as they are giving you tips to save gas. They’re telling you to keep your maintenance schedule, carpool, and even change your vehicle. Well what about those of us that don’t feel that isn’t enough, or think we can get even more out of it? Now, I’m not telling you to ignore their advice, as they are the building blocks to maximizing your fuel economy.

Before I even get going, there are a couple of things I’m assuming you’re doing already to keep your car in shape and at the best operating potential. These include: using gas grade per instructed by your manual, changing your oil (with the type intended for your engine) every 3000-5000 miles, checking your air filter to make sure it’s clean, and keeping your tires inflated to their proper pressure. If you weren’t doing that already, you may see a significant increase in your gas mileage just doing that (an estimated 5-20% depending on the amount of change).

The next step is to change your habits about when you choose to drive. (more…)

No, I didn’t misspell the first word of my first post on my blog. Complement, as very excellently put on the wikipedia article means “something that together with another makes a complete whole, something that supplies what the other lacks.” That’s the idea I’m trying to get across. Don’t put up a front for yourself, be who you are and you’ll find people, places, and things that complement you. When you go through every day looking for things that will portray you as something you are not it’s counter-productive to promoting your self image. I’ve had discussions with lots of people that seem to be confident when I first meet them, but they’ll leave small clues after an extended time spent getting to know them that they aren’t really what they make themselves out to be.
