Photo crazy

Finally found a decent way to upload my photos and post them on the blog.  So, to that end, either use the page navigation to the right or explore:

Wild Birds

I was finally able to capture some mysterious wild parrots (parakeets?) on Bell Avenue in La Grange. This has no relation to Bell Avenue in Chicago, this Bell runs East/West. These birds feed around 12:15 P.M. every day, and I was finally able to capture some photos.  Today I saw nearly a dozen birds.  Weird man.

Wonderful WordPress extension

If you have multiple WordPress blogs, it quickly becomes a royal pain in the ass to update your blog software.  Enter, the automatic updater : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/

Why, oh why, isn’t this included in WordPress, is beyond me.  A few simple clicks are you are running the latest version of WordPress, for better or worse.

Why the rush?

I really don’t understand the huge urgency behind bailing out Wall Street.  These “Toxic” loans have been on the books for years now.  The whole ‘crisis’ has been brewing for 30 years now.  70’s inflation busting, 80’s S&L debacle, the 90’s stock and Internet bubble, the 00’s housing and credit bubble. One bubble after the next, with no popping.  It all boils down to the fact we need to start making things in this country instead of moving paper, flipping burgers, offering credit, and suing each other.  That crisis can’t be fixed in 7 stinking days by the people who helped create this problem in the first place.  We need a correction, not a bailout.

It be fitting that it is talk like a pirate day

Yarh, the scabberous dogs of our gover’ment have decided to give our booty away to the most treacherous pirates of all, Wall street.

Aye, we hard working pirates have to pay tribute to those who take risks aplenty, yet get all the rewards.

Argh.
