Jasonisms

I haven't written too much recently. The fault lies solely with me. Not that I haven't had the occasional burst of inspiration to jot some of my thoughts down, but because those bursts usually come when I'm nowhere near a computer, like when I'm out running errands or walking my dogs. One of the things I wish for the most is the ability to remember exactly how I word things in my head versus remembering just the gist  of the point I was trying to get across. Yes, I have a smartphone, but typing long posts is a chore when you're on the go. Physical keyboards made it better than these virtual ones, but typing on a 5.5" device is so much slower and burdensome than typing on a proper keyboard. Even then, with the holidays and whatnot over the past few weeks, I haven't even fired up the computer every day. Yes, yes: bad Jason. On the contrary, I have been reading a lot. It's been nice not being distracted by a keyboard and monitor, to just sit with

Downloaded #twitter  onto my phone for the first time in a long time. Going to give it a go for a month and see if it's something I'll continue using. I quit it before because it's boring. I mean really, who can have a conversation in 140 characters or less?

Great stuff for photographers or artists of any medium. I didn't spend a lot of time behind the camera this year and it annoys me. I hope to bring photography back near the center of my life in 2015.

Just let a few more people into the community. There are more I would have liked to add but there was no indication anywhere on their profile they rode motorcycles. No posts, no pictures, no "motorcycle rider" in the About section - nothing. So, if you got in, YAY! Welcome! If you didn't and you're reading this, please fill out your profile and request entry again. It's not that hard.

[Addendum Added Below] Alright, alright, alright. It's that time of the month again. Or it will be. Or maybe it was already. Let's be fair, it's that time only if you're in the right timezone already. Anywho, most of the world is already on January 1st, so let's have another Profile picture contest. Yes, you read that right, it's time for a profile picture contest. For those of you who are confused, look to your left. Go ahead, just move your eyeballs;  no need to hurt your neck. See where it says "Motorcycle Riders: There's a Road Less Traveled - Ride It"? Right under there is the Profile picture for the community. Let's put another image there, shall we? The rules are the same: 1 ] You MUST own the rights to the picture or have the permission of the rights holder to use it. Image must also be of something motorcycle related.  2 ] If you used the image to enter last time, you can't use it to enter this time. That doesn't mean you can&

You know what just hit me? Tomorrow is January! I kept thinking January was next week. Well, I suppose, technically, January is next week. I'd been playing with the idea of blogging more and Google+ing less for January. Instead of creating posts here, creating posts on my blog, so to speak. So, if you don't see me around too  much it means I'm trying to do that more than I'm trying to constantly check my stream. Who knows, maybe I'l be more productive.

What a fantastic read demonstrating the hypocrisy of, let's call them, active Christians, and the historical Bible. Most of this is old news to me, but it's nice to see it compiled in an easy to read linkable post for all to read. Originally shared by Flying Spaghetti Monster the earliest versions of Mark stop at 16:8. It’s an awkward ending, with three women who have gone to the tomb where Jesus was laid after the Crucifixion encountering a man who tells them to let the disciples know that the resurrected Jesus will see them in Galilee. The women flee the tomb, and “neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.’’ In early copies of the original Greek writings, that’s it. The 12 verses that follow in modern Bibles—Jesus appearing to Mary Magdalene and the Disciples and then ascending to Heaven—are not there. Surely there must be some sort of debate or refutation of this fact somewhere? I cannot believe that the central tenet of Christianity - the resurrection o

Wait, there were "Musical Orgies" in 1948? Which leads me to the question, what exactly is a "musical" orgy?

Politicians love speaking in front of groups. It's much easier for the group to take the time and money to organize an event and just let the politician come and speak about whatever it is the politician agreed to speak about. It makes sense, especially when you're not working on the national scale with TV cameras lined up to catch your every word. Now, should politicians vet groups for their political leanings? Absolutely. Something like this could bite you in the butt a decade later, but does that mean the politician is in cahoots or supports the mission of every group they speak to? Absolutely not. What we need to know isn't that he spoke to White Supremacists, but rather what he spoke about. Does anyone have a transcript of his speech? Is he really just, as he says, speaking about economic issue and political corruption, or is he saying he's inline with the group's lines of thought? All of us have associations that might be a red flag for someone else. When gr

Listening to the neighbors fight. Called the police but the neighbors only got louder after the police arrived. Before the police showed one woman could be heard screaming, "He pushed me down! You saw him shove me!" A girl came out while I waited for the police. She said she came to pick up a drunk friend but the two guys wouldn't let her friend leave the party and that's when the fighting started. Fun, fun, fun. It's too cold for this sh!t.

Uh-oh, facts! (Hint: watch the video) Originally shared by Pierre Markuse 13 Misconceptions About Global Warming Usually it goes like that: You post something remotely related to climate change or global warming and the bashing in the comments starts. Is it real? Is it imagination?  Although most scientists agree that climate change is real, some of course don't. That's just normal and not a problem in itself. But it seems climate change denial is getting promoted for various reasons.  If you look up 'Climate change denial' in Wikipedia you'll find this definition here: Climate change denial is a denial or dismissal of the scientific consensus on the extent of global warming, its significance, and its connection to human behavior, especially for commercial or ideological reasons. Typically, these attempts take the rhetorical form of legitimate scientific debate, while not adhering to the actual principles of that debate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_cha

Hmm.. neither of my pistols made this list. Of course, the only one that's close enough is the .22 and no .22s were presented on this list. But, let's be fair.

I knew about Krampus and Black Pete but many of these are new to me. Christmas is dark. Originally shared by Yonatan Zunger I'm afraid that this article doesn't do a good job of answering the question it poses in the headline, but it does do a good job of describing the various yuletide monsters which are intimately involved in Christmas across Europe, from the Italian witch La Befana, who contents herself with leaving lumps of coal for the bad children, to Germany's Frau Perchta, who goes right to the heart of the matter -- so to speak -- slitting open the naughty children and stuffing their insides with straw. (Krampus splits the difference, simply showing up after Saint Nick with his own sack -- into which he stuffs the naughty children and takes them away. What their ultimate fate is, be it toiling in Santa's enormous toy factories in the far North, or simply ending up as a Boxing Day treat for the reindeer, is left unclear.)  To add a bit more context to this, the

Originally shared by Kenneth Campbell Reuters : Off duty, black cops in New York feel threat from fellow police What’s emerging now is that, within the thin blue line of the NYPD, there is another divide - between black and white officers. [...] The officers said this included being pulled over for no reason, having their heads slammed against their cars, getting guns brandished in their faces, being thrown into prison vans and experiencing stop and frisks while shopping. The majority of the officers said they had been pulled over multiple times while driving. Five had had guns pulled on them. #BlackLivesMatter   #EricGarner   http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/12/23/us-usa-police-nypd-race-insight-idUSKBN0K11EV20141223

You hear a lot of people on the far right spitting out rhetoric about President Obama being a dictator, that he's crowned himself an unofficial King of America. And those people would know.

This year's annual Children's Hospital toy run was today. Luckily, for early December it wasn't too cold, about 40 when I woke up at 7am and then close to 60 as the day wore on. We met for breakfast and then rode over as a group to the staging are where we sat around for a few hours. I think someone said there were 2700 bikes represented, but then someone else said that was just the final wave. So figure, at least 2500 bikes showed and dropped off toys for sick children. After dropping off our toys and before leaving, a woman came over and thanked us. I asked if she had a child in the hospital to which she replied, No. But, she said. I did a few years ago and you motorcycle riders helped out tremendously. For the record, I brought a die cast metal Jeep for a boy and the Frozen DVD for a girl. Damir on an Italian Steed Cookies!

Do you want to know what's ironic? Warhawks under the Bush Admin argued that "enhanced interrogation" wasn't torture, and yet the DOJ set precedent by charging and imprisoning police officers for doing the same thing. Is this a case of do as I say or we're above the law ? I also find it hilarious that the GOP is running around calling Obama a dictator or tyrant for, presumably, violating laws left and right but they're eerily silent on 8 years of GWB. http://www.alternet.org/story/138600/reagan%27s_doj_prosecuted_texas_sheriff_for_waterboarding_prisoners

Good. Now what about that pastor who wants all the gays killed by Christmas or no Santa for you?

Gods I hate Google Maps! What a most ridiculous service!

Whew! What a giant pain in the ass! A few months ago, for a contract I was working, I had to download Google Drive onto my PC and set it up for syncing with the project manager so they could push out updates easily. At the time I thought it was convenient. That was until the project was over and I wanted to switch the desktop sync-folder from one Gmail account to another. That, it seems, was easy, but not very well explained. First, I found this explanation on Google's Drive Support Pages . Alright, I followed steps one through five on the Google Drive for your PC/Mac section, but couldn't for the life of me figure out what they meant with steps six through nine: 6. To sign in to another account, go to the Google Drive menu, and select Sign in. 7. Rename your Google Drive folder (example: Google Drive Archive). 8. Create a new folder titled Google Drive and don’t add any files in the folder. 9. Your files will begin automatically syncing.  Was this telling me to sig

For the people who don't know, I am the owner of this community. You can usually tell because it says "Owner" right next to my name up there. When I set this community up I set it up in a way to prevent spammers and other people from just using it as a link dumping ground to boost their view numbers. I set it up to where each and every profile has to be approved for membership. This means I (and presumably the moderators) go through each and every Profile requesting access looking for a number of things: 1- Are you a living breathing person? 2- Are you a motorcycle rider? 3- Do you just share the same content to every motorcycle related group you can get access to? 4- Do you have a love affair with the Share button? In other words, do you only rehare other's content? 5- If yes to any of the above, do you respond to comments on your posts or create an introductory comment to your share? These things, and I'll admit, hunches, are what I look for when previewing each

I'll admit, I throw hand fulls of bird seed out in the yard for the squirrels. I don't do it every day and I always throw it out in the yard, not in feeder or a pile. A couple of years ago I caught some raccoons foraging in a dumpster. Unfortunately, the dumpster didn't have a lot of garbage in it and the young raccoons were trapped at the bottom. Animal control came and got them out and they quickly scampered up a nearby tree. We do have the occasional coyote or fox that runs through the neighborhood, which isn't a strange site since I do live saddled between a state park and a golf course. The moral of the story is: don't feed the animals. http://www.psmag.com/navigation/nature-and-technology/dont-feed-squirrels-opossums-coyotes-bears-wildlife-animals-95676/
