Haiku Error Messages

In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft error messages with Haiku poetry messages. Haiku poetry has strick construction rules, each poem has only 17 syllables; 5 syllables in the first, 7 in the second, and 5 in the third. They are used to communicate a timeless message, often achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful insight through extreme brevity (and are much better than "Your computer has performed an illegal operation.") Here they are:

Windows NT crashed. I am the Blue Screen of Death. No one hears your screams.

Yesterday it worked. Today it is not working. Windows is like that.

First snow, then silence. This thousand-dollar screen dies So beautifully.

The Tao that is seen Is not the true Tao - until You bring fresh toner.

A crash reduces Your expensive computer To a simple stone.

Out of memory. We wish to hold the whole sky, But we never will.

Serious error. All shortcuts have disappeared. Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

John Gotti was right - the biggest organized crime family in the USA is government

Our freedoms are being taken from us by a bunch of elected sociopaths who care about nothing except power.

Drew Carey Responds to Obama About Marijuana

March 29th 2009 in activism, health and welln

Recently, President Obama was asked by an audience member about legalizing marijuana, so that it could be regulated and taxed. The President’s response was unsupportive of marijuana legalization, although the Obama administration’s Attorney General Holder has signaled an end to DEA raids on medical marijuana dispensaries in states with medical marijuana laws. Drew Carey, the famous American standup comedian and humorist, responded at Reality TV with the story of Owen Beck, a young man from San Luis Obispo, California, who effectively uses marijuana as medicine after having his right lower leg amputated because of bone cancer.

How about that. I was wrong about my user name. That's funny. I used the wrong username on Vox.

I, my friends, am not very smart, it appears.

Bad form! So what! Thousands dead, countries devastated, our economy in shambles; a few boo's is nothing compared to what he's done. Try him for his crimes, that would be better than boo's.

blows the dust off this thing

So, apparently I have ignored my Vox since 2006.

I'm pretty good at ignoring things that aren't very important to me. But I should probably try to pay a little more attention to things.

Today has not had even additions in the 'plus' and 'minus' columns. I have mixed feelings about the impending death of my stepmother's sister, Ann. My aunt was not a very nice person when I was a kid, growing up. Like my stepmother at that time, she had some really serious mood swings and PMS problems that made it unpleasant to be around her at certain times. I hated the days I got stuck with her as my babysitter. But we've both mellowed as we got older, and these days, even when I think back to the past, I can't dredge up anger at what's long gone, only regret that things turned out that way, and pity for how she's ended up.

Not for the factually or logically adverse, nor those who believe that reality is an alien (and commie) concept.

No wonder they did it...

Congressman Brad Sherman of California's 27th congressional district told the House in a speech on Thurs evening that several fellow Congressional representatives have said they were threatened with the prospect 'Martial Law' should they vote in opposition to the $700 billion bailout.

According to numerous Congressional testimonies, the stark panic atmosphere which has gripped both Congress and the US media was intentionally created in order to 'fast-track' a financial bailout bill. Several members of Congress were told before Monday's vote that martial law might be instigated in America if the legislation failed.
