For all you content creators out there giving Blab a test drive, please take notice. Originally shared by David Kutcher Blab owns your content Let's talk about Blab, since it seems it's all the rage among the marketing digerati. Blab owns your content. Really. Go to the bottom of the FAQ (linked here). The second to last section reads: Who owns the content? You can use the content however you please, but Blab owns the content. So if you're one of those people making videos on Blab, then downloading them and uploading them elsewhere (like YouTube), you're in violation. Blab could serve a DMCA takedown notice to YouTube and have all of them removed. If you're downloading the videos and hosting them on your website, Blab can serve a DMCA to your hosting company to have them removed (or your site removed as some hosts are trigger-happy). You don't own the content that you're creating. They do. https://medium.com/blab-blog/blab-faq-851d23e3bdfb

A friend of mins said she caught a show on the History Channel called "The Works" and the particular episode she caught was about motorcycles, specifically motorcycle helmets. The episode spoke about helmet design, per my friend. Apparently, the most hit place on the head during a motorcycle accident is the chin which is why a lot of motorcycle helmets have reinforced chin areas. The show also brought up the uselessness of skull cap style helmets as well as other open faced helmets. I couldn't find the episode online anywhere, but I did find this site.  Martin Hackworth (same guy?) is a physicist who rides motorcycles and instigates "anger management issues."  If you've ever been interested in the physics behind two-wheeled fun machines, then this website might be of interested to you. If you're a lawyer or in court over a motorcycle related injury, he has expert testimony to provide as well. Check it out. http://www.motorcyclejazz.com/motorcycle_physics

Andrew Garfield, Terrible Peter Parker

Re: http://entertainthis.usatoday.com/2015/08/17/andrew-garfield-is-so-done-with-playing-spider-man/ I , for one, am glad to see Andrew Garfield out of the role. He was far too much hipster and way too much tween-glitter-vampire-thing to effectively play Peter Parker. And let us not forget, dialogue is written by writers. Sure, an actor might improvise from time to time, but the characters are written by writers and cast by directors. I'm fairly certain Peter Parker could capably be played by any number of actors as long as the character is written and directed properly. What Marc Webb failed to portray, what Sam Raimi got right, is how Peter Parker was a social outcast. He didn't interfere when Flash was beating someone up, nor was he a solo skater. Yes, he had trouble talking to girls, but what young man at the age of 15/16 didn't? What Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man films got right about Spider-Man they also got wrong about Peter Parker. Let's face it,

In case you were unaware, I am an atheist.

In case you were unaware, I am an atheist. I know no such things that we might call gods exist. This is true and irrefutable. From time to time I've had my own arguments with other atheists. Many of them think being an atheist means being antireligious. This is not true. A religion is a system of beliefs held by multiple people and does not require the presence of a god in order to exist. Over the years I've called out other atheists for claiming such things as religions are inherently bad or nothing good comes from religions when, as many sociologists and psychologists will attest, those beliefs aren't true at all. Religions can have a positive outcome for people. They can create a sense of community, a sense of welcome and be a psychological salve to many people, with or without being centered around a deity. For those people looking for that sense of community but don't want to be sold a theology, try a Universal Unitarian church. Unless you're in the small to

So, the #BlackLivesMatter  protesters were protesting on Interstate 70 in St. Louis. Aside from stopping traffic it was a peaceful protest. A woman, after briefly speaking to a police officer, decides to plow through the crowd of protesters with her small SUV.

Correct me if I'm wrong here.

So, that happened.

So, that happened. Good on Lowes for firing the store management after this affair, but they really should have refunded the customer's money and told her to go elsewhere. We can't know why this woman didn't want a black delivery driver. She could just be a good old fashioned racist or, perhaps, she was a victim of a crime by a black person and it stuck with her. What we do know is how Lowes handled the situation and regardless of whether they went far enough, they're on the right track.

This isn't going to bode well.

This isn't going to bode well. Let's set aside the fact that their very presence will escalate tension in the area, but if a bunch of white guys are allowed to openly carry assault rifles in a predominately black area already under considerable racial tension and the police allow them to do so, then the police and local district attorney's are complicit in any actions that occur as a result. http://freakoutnation.com/2015/08/totally-not-racist-heavily-armed-oath-keepers-in-ferguson-to-keep-black-people-in-line/

I mean, Hangouts and Photos are decoupled from G+ and YouTube comments get their own system back which naturally means Google+ is being abandoned. So, Larry Page says the entire company is restructuring which, by tech writer logic, means Google is dying ... right? http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2015/08/google-alphabet.html?m=1

Many of us don't pay attention what happens behind a prison's walls.

Many of us don't pay attention what happens behind a prison's walls. We give a blind eye to atrocities because, hey, they're prisoner's, right? But, the Constitution of the USA prohibits "cruel or unusual punishment." When ISIS/IL beheads someone the world is outraged. When American soldiers mistreated prisoners in camp prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan the world reacted. And yet, in Florida's prisons these same atrocities were allowed to go on for decades. It wasn't until the journalists became involved that anyone even gave the story credence. But journalists aren't interested in prison stories. They're interested in flash bang stories that are sure to go viral on Twitter. They're not interested in looking in when out is easier on the conscience.  Read this.

How many messaging apps do you use?

How many messaging apps do you use? I only use Hangouts, but that's because most people I know use Android. Not that all of them are using Hangouts, but a lot of them are.  Otherwise, I use SMS (via GV) because it's cross-platform. Windows 10 has something called "Pinger" that comes pre-installed. It looks a lot like the same functionality as GV.  I also tried BB Messenger, but no one uses it. In fact, a vast majority of my friends just use Facebook Messenger, or whatever it's called. Is there a universal messaging app? Would you trust a Chinese company/developer with your contacts, messages and location? http://www.wired.com/2015/08/time-to-ditch-texting/

A girl played on a youth basketball team. For years. A new rule was put in place making co-ed teams unqualified to play but it wasn't enforced.
