Easy To Use Posterous

Posterous is a blog service that gets you. I post via email and my favorite tool for that is my email client.  In fact even if my browser is open and I feel the urge to scratch I still have my desktop configured to send email through the desktop email client. I use Ubuntu 10.04 and Evolution as the default email client.  Posterous integrates well with both.  See and download the full gallery on posterous

Jango:listen,learn and enjoy

I've never enjoyed myself better than listening to music at Jango.  I have three full music stations in the site.  All three were created two years ago and I have not changed the line up much since then. What's amazing with Jango is that their music doesn't skip a beat or pause a micro second when I try to click anything in the web site.  I listen to my music and I get to play around with the links.  Wow.

Do You Hear Bells Ringing?

Human Rights 101

The following video footage of the Indonesian military capturing a Papuan freedom fighter in the remote hills of Papua New Guinea gives us pause on what we mean by human rights. It also gives us an opportunity to defend what we believe belongs to all of us and not just to some of us. Warning: nsfw

The Power Of Images

World Meets HIV AIDS In this photo from left to right, David Kirby (lying in bed), Bill Kirby, his father, Kay Kirby, his mother.  If you look closer near the bottom right corner you will see a Benetton ad logo.  This version of the photograph is colorized from the original by Benetton for their ad campaign in 1992. The disembodied hand coming out of the left side is from Peta, a caregiver at Pater Noster House where David's family decided to care for him.  Peta is half-american, half-native american indian.  Peta was HIV-positive at that time but he would soon die of AIDS as his disease progressed. As the world's debate raged over lifestyle, morality and this "gay disease", the absolute message of this image is that no one deserves to die alone.
