Iggy found to be the source of all evil

I sure wasn’t expecting to learn that when I went browsing the Internet. But, it is obvious that is the fact. Usually, good and evil contend against each other. But, it is also obvious that in Iggy’s case, it is evil versus EVIL – or something like that.

I would like to now be able to show my skill at Web 2.0 but either the fact that we are upgrading our software or I’m just a putz is making today’s posting a bit of Web -1.1. (I could do this if they’d just go back to Gopher instead of using browsers. [aging nerd alert]) So, you have to sojourn to this location and view the ‘Root of all Evil” video. Two desperate argument both embrace the passions of the Igster. I’m envious. I only qualify for the one evil and it seems, somehow, the lesser one.

STOP THE PRESS

OK, that’s pretty lame.  Thought I could imbed it using HTML code.  Overly optimistic on my part!  But, at least the link above it won’t age finding it away.

While you are there, check out the view of our wonderful friend, Senator Ted Stevens. You remember him. He’s the head of the commerce committee that has oversight on the Internet and contributed the UIGEA to our lives. He the guy who explained the Internet as “a series of tubes” and it looks like the DOJ is shoving one of those tubes up Ted’s nether regions. Poor Ted has been indited for lying. The amazing part is that he’s the only Senator they could find to indite.

Having just made fun of the Salt of the Earth and/or The source of Evil. I will leave it to you, gentle reader, to assign the blame. Or, you might get Google to blacklist our blogs. Oops! They seem to have already done that. I hope you followed that or better yet no followed.

OK, end of attempt at humor. Just let me say how happy I am that Ted Steven’s is getting taken down. He has been an example of the worst of the worst. His earmarks have been an insult to the mentality of all Americans. It also points to the obvious mental frostbite applied to the standard Alaskans brain. They aren’t alone. I watched a local house member that was senile and drooling get reelected in my state. Hell, I even got stuck going to one of his fund raisers and watching him in his decline be lead around by his handlers. Fortunately, it was a local radio station guy that got stuck for the tickets.

ADDENDUM:

KISS means Keep It Simple, Stupid. It was my mantra back in the days I programmed for a living. Middleware was the hot topic as I phased out. Today, the complexity of behind the scenes of a site like this are mind boggling. I get bit now and then as the new idea in middleware or middle something. That’s happening as we transition to new software. It is always two steps forward and one back and today’s blog is meeting with the one step back part.

I’m really really glad I am not one of the poor schmucks trying to tie all this together. Maybe the Internet really is a series of tubes…

P.S.  Hopefully I’ll be able to publish the links/videos properly in a day or so.  If you are reading this late and the minimalist links seem broken.  I appologize and will practice walking and chewing gum better in the future, I hope.
