Paying

My thoughts are bent on buying something, anything. And I am thinking of either buying something from PacSun or signing up for a domain name on Web.com. Which is a better deal? PacSun is stylish, but it probably isn't my style. I would look out of place wearing it. I am still undecided on web.com. I suppose I want to do this because I would like to get ZoneAlarm Security Suite for free.

The ocean is rising and will soon destroy island nations and various coastal cities. If you ever like strategy game, it would be ideal and futuristic to write or create scenarios of what could happen. Does the US take in refugees? Do we build levees to preserve the island nations? What would happen if we choose only a few islands to save, and let nature do what she will to the rest? Is the political ramification high or extremely low, especially since those island nations are not rich or measurably productive? They, in being uprooted, could be violent, petty, drug-addicted, or gang-trapped and lost mendicants.

Rather than being denialist, recognize that there is a trend, whatever the cause, and solve it.

When I talk about God, I am not more than defined. Apple is such a great computer company. Microsoft is not. AppleInsider is a popup-filled website. Politics is my drug.

Andrew Sullivan is a blogger, but sometimes I find him corny, maybe because he often puts things on his blog that I would not. Once in a while though, he would post great insights. An example is him looking for a word for hobros, a straight guy who's comfortable with homos. So, I am not sure why he is doing this unserious thing.

The reason I am making this post is to try out Zemanta, an add-on for Firefox, to recommend links I can make whenever I'm writing a post. It's interesting so far.

In the same breath, I am going to Los Angeles tomorrow. What places are interesting, I am not sure. I've already gone to Universal Studio, Disneyland, but now I'm looking for the soul of the city, even if it has no soul, even if it is a soul inhabited by fame-seekers and purveyors of vanity.

abrogate

"We are a country of law - there are contracts (and) the government cannot just abrogate contracts," Summers said.

Emily Dickinson
Franklin 368

I envy Seas, whereon He rides -
I envy Spokes of Wheels
Of Chariots, that Him convey -
I envy Crooked Hills

That gaze opon His journey -
How easy all can see
What is forbidden utterly
As Heaven - unto me!

I envy Nests of Sparrows -
That dot His distant Eaves;
The wealthy Fly, opon His Pane -
The happy - happy Leaves -

That just abroad His Window
Have Summer's leave to play -
The Ear Rings of Pizarro
Could not obtain for me -

I envy Light - that wakes Him -
And Bells - that boldly ring
To tell Him it is Noon, abroad -
Myself - be Noon to Him -

Yet interdict - my Blossom -
And abrogate - my Bee -
Lest Noon in everlasting night -
Drop Gabriel - and me -

A brilliant speech.

It is curious that Apple doesn't add auto-save to iWork.

China

Interesting. China may now regret keeping its currency low by buying huge amount of US Treasuries. It was not just their interest in keeping the renminbi so low that the US suffered enormous trade deficits with China, but also that this policy helped bankroll Bush's expansion of government spending and borrowing, helping to break the $10 trillion debt ceiling.

Even if China were now to try to sell all its US Treasuries holding, it would hurt them more than it hurts us.
