2007 was a time for consolidation with a little bit of
motorcycle-inspired (as in extra-work) action to keep things spicy. I went to
Vegas and met up with some Internet friends, I re-acquainted myself with an old
hyper-intellectual friend and started drinking beer again :) I lost 60 pounds
this year. In between fights with MS Vista on my new laptop and building up
steam for a giant set of changes in 2008, I also took the time to write and
pass the test to become a Mensan. Amazing year for building
self-confidence.

2007 - | How the West was lost,
Part 1: Coming apart at the seams
- Western fester. I don't really know
how bad this is, in the grand scheme of things, but it's not exactly a secret
that the Whole (White) Western World is shuddering and shaking under the weight
of its own infrastructure. We built this monster to protect us and keep us warm
at night, and now we are lacking the resources to keep feeding it as it grows
bigger and more powerful. Just like Rome. Just like Byzantium. Just like
Ancient Greece. Just like Babylon. |

2007 - | So now I look back and
try to figure out ... Why?
- Everyone acts weird, or as though I'm
being a big bad wanker about it. And I gotta be honest here ... I'm not so sure
about my motivations myself. |
