A brief respite.
I think I will be taking a bit of a break from blogging for a little bit. I went back and was looking at my original post and my intent had been to limber up my writing muscles in preparation for a larger project. Now, I find myself in the beginning stages of just such a project and so, the blog has served its purpose in that regard. The feedback I’ve gotten from the blog has confirmed something in my heart I already knew - namely I can string together groups of words into a cohesive thought. So, there’s really nothing left but to get about the business of actually sitting down and forcing myself to write or at least get all the brilliant snippets, fragments and ideas that have run around inside my mind unrealized down on paper.
It’s not to say I won’t continue to blog, because I think I will. It’s just it will no longer be a main focus of efforts. Time to make the leap and start writing about things and getting paid for it.
There will be new stuff from time to time just nothing extravagant because efforts are better focused in other directions.

Salam Pax is dead, long live Salam Pax!
Nothing new has been posted on the Where is Raed? blog since August 18th of 2004.
If you were paying any attention, the Where is Raed blog was one of those noteworthy places to go and hear what life was like on the ground in the days leading up to the invasion of Iraq and the weeks and months that followed. The blog was useful because it gave an unedited view of daily life in Baghdad, a view that wasn’t filtered through media outlets like Fox or CNN. It was one of the blogs of note, a place where people began to sit up and take notice of the blogosphere.
Salam Pax and Raed’s corner of the web has been quiet for quite some time no doubt their lives have progressed and they’ve moved on to other things but, it doesn’t mean things haven’t continued to happen in Iraq. Fortunately, while there hasn’t been a wealth of new entries on the blog, it is still a terrific gateway to other voices from that part of the world.
Personally, I’m a bit jaundiced by the whole Iraq thing as are many others no doubt. However, we live in a nation with a short attention span and currently we’ve moved on to another issue - what is it this week? Immigration?
Even so, I wonder sometimes whether or not any good is coming of this whole situation. I’m trying to look for that silver lining in the dark cloud. Funny thing is, I come to realize we are all of us very much the same no matter where we live. It all boils down to a matter of wanting to live a life in peace, free of conflict and availed of a certain level of comfort. So, it’s interesting to see what the reaction of bloggers from Iraq is on the latest news (the death of Zarqawi) - interesting because here we get a lot of spin to either justify or contest the decisions of our government and there you can hear about whether or not there is any positive impact on people’s lives:

Whatever it is that Zarqawi was planning, he succeeded. The civil war he so earnestly wanted has a life of its own now, and that is what Iraqi politicians should be concentrating on, instead of more military games. His life or death won’t matter anymore in Iraq; some would say he is a martyr, some would say he was irrelevant.
The reactions have been different. There's a general consensus amongst family and friends that he won't be missed, whoever he is. There is also doubt- who was he really? Did he even exist? Was he truly the huge terror the Americans made him out to be? When did he actually die?
The Prime Minister of Iraq Mr Al-Maliki just announced that the criminal and terrorist thug Abo-Mpusab Al-Zarqawi was killed by the Iraqi forces in the last few hours.
Zarqawi who is Jordanian from Palestinian origin was responsible for thousands of crimes against the Iraqis and the MNF as well as against humanity. He appeared recently in a video challenging the American and Iraqi forces. He beheaded by his dirty hands many Iraqis and foreigners.
This is very good news indeed and we will bring you more detail from the local sources when we get them.
An arch zombie has been blown to smithereens. You know, I am the sort of guy who gets distressed at the sight of blood and cannot bear the sight of even a dead animal, believe it or not. But you know, I was shocked at my own feelings of pleasure on beholding the photo of the dead face of Zarqawi. I would never have thought that possible. I have never felt this way my whole life. Yet the atrocities and outrages that these pseudo humans, these misanthropes, have perpetrated have engendered such anger, such sorrow, such rage that not even the most peaceful of souls can control their hatred of these criminals. My only regret was that the death was fast and sudden, and I felt pain that the true martyr of our country our beloved Ussama Al-Jadaan could not witness this day which he had predicted and played a big role in bringing about.

Came across this by way of Elayne’s blog. A very interesting article on the subject of Iraq, the oil business and dollars as a basis of trade and how the three are all interconnected. Worth taking some time out for:
Thus, the U. S. effectively controls the world oil-market as the dollar has become the “fiat” international trading currency. Today U.S. currency accounts for approximately two-thirds of all official exchange reserves. More than four-fifths of all foreign exchange transactions and half of all the world exports are denominated in dollars and U.S. currency accounts for about two-thirds of all official exchange reserves. The fact that billions of dollars worth of oil is priced in dollars ensures the world domination of the dollar. It allows the U.S. to act as the world’s central bank, printing currency acceptable everywhere. The dollar has become an oil-backed, not gold-backed, currency.
If OPEC oil could be sold in other currencies, e.g. the euro, then U.S. economic dominance-dollar imperialism or hegemony-would be seriously challenged. More and more oil importing countries would acquire the euro as their “reserve,” its value would increase, and a larger amount of trade would be transacted and denominated in euros. In such circumstances, the value of the dollar would most likely go down, some speculate between 20-40 percent.

Loving the new toy.
A week or so back the optical mouse gave up the ghost. It had been a long time coming I guess. In the old days, this usually meant popping the ball and doing some quick x-acto surgery to get all the accumulated gunk out of the housing. X-acto surgery never really worked forever, but it did alleviate the problem for a bit of time.
Now with the optical mouse, I never thought I would be confronted by something like ‘jerky mouse’ syndrome again but, sure enough over the last few weeks (months?) I had been noticed a lack of responsiveness. I tried blowing canned air into the ‘eye’ of the thing but, that didn’t work. What else was there to do? The thing is supposed to be sealed up tight as a drum the only other thing I could imagine the problem being was a short in the USB connection running from the mouse to the keyboard.
I have a big reluctance to go the whole wireless route - don’t ask me why and I had to admit to being quite happy with the optical mouse for the most part. I liked the styling too! It’s not as if the styling makes any realy difference but, I confess I was a sucker for it’s ‘Flash Gordony’ looking see through husk.
So, finally in frustration I bit the bullet and looked around for a new mouse. I got this:
The Apple Mighty Mouse
My inner geek has embraced this little sucker! I’m not as crazy about the ‘Sleeper’ styling but the damn bugger is so frikkin’ handy I find myself consumed with great glee while using it.
I have to get a hobby.

The wrong mailing list.
This week I got one of those fervent emails that pop up in my inbox from time to time:
I hate things like this - aside from the horrible spelling errors of which there were a few.
See, while I can’t admit to loving the job the current admin has done, I don’t like when things descend to this level.
I must confess to being a bit of a swing voter. I rarely if ever vote strictly along party lines. Voting along party lines just never seemed to make much sense to me. You vote for the person, not the party. You vote for someone who is going to do a job. Party affiliations are all fine and good but, at the end of the day it’s people who make up the government and people are a lot more complex than what is put down on a party platform.
Just the title of the email made me cringe.
I’ve admitted to being a registered Republican before and this seemed like another one of those very broad based attacks. Something along the lines of making one party the party of the white hats and one party the party of the black hats. If that is as simple as your world is, a world so starkly black and white, I have to profess to being a little amazed. Amazed and at the same time I find my opinion of anyone who views the world in such a simplistic way is immediately lowered a great deal.
After the election in 2000, I lost a friend over an email like this. It was a histrionic email about how the country couldn’t survive the results of the 2000 election, how we were facing the end of days. It was just so incredibly aggravating and demeaning in tone I responded to it in an equally sarcastic manner. The unfortunate thing is when you’re dealing with someone who is caught up in that kind of emotional frenzy, you’re probably not going to have much luck in having any kind of dialogue with the person so, that was that.
Here we are, 6 years into the Junior legacy and we’re all still alive. Imagine that.
We’ll survive another two years too. Why? Because we’ve suffered through worse and made it through, that’s what we do, what our nation does, survive the good as well as the bad.
Now, let’s sit up shall we? All those forward thinking and intelligent people out there who really are unhappy.
The current admin... they’ve done a horrible job! They have failed to lead this country into any kind of positive direction. They have wasted the nation’s resources and money. They have shown themselves to be devoid of any kind of inventiveness when it comes to dealing with the nation’s poverty, they have spent money and squandered one of the largest surpluses on record, they at times have found themselves at odds internally over a disjointed and ill prepared foreign policy. We’re not talking about people who are necessarily doing a good job, they’re not.
My point is, why is it necessary to frame the argument for a change in the context of ‘family values?’ There is a wealth of missteps the administration has made through six years, it’s there all for the listing.
Hello?!?!
In a word, Katrina?
How about the latest slap in the face with the misallocation of funds regarding ‘Homeland Security’ (don’t even get me started on how even having a branch of the government called Homeland Security immediately makes me think about Germany in the 30’s).
All I’m saying is this, people in this country aren’t stupid - look at the president’s approval rating. People look around and can tell when things aren’t going right. Let’s try to focus on substantiative arguments rather than simplistic attacks. The reason I’m asking for this is because when you get right down to it, none of these guys are all that appealing - be they R or D. They’ve all got they’re own foibles and if you’re going to base your argument in a simplistic fashion, you’re more than likely to wind up offending the very same people you want to convince.
This week I got one of those fervent emails that pop up in my inbox from time to time:
Republican Family Values
On this page I will be exposing the hypocrisy of the Republican Party when it comes to family values. Theyclaim to be the party of family values, but in reality often have reprehensibly low standards when it comes to family values. This is not to say that Democrats are perfect whn it comes to family values...

A jewel in the rough.
I know Sun from the semi regular trips to a favorite store - she logs days working behind the counter there. Over the course of time, I got to talking to her and found she was an alum of my old school. Consequently, turns out she is an incredibly talented artist. She just set up her Deviant Art site, check it out:

Life’s crossroads.
You ever come to a point in life where you feel you are at a monumentous crossroads? You’re looking for a clue of some kind to determine which road to take but, you can’t find one or if you do it’s not something that makes the decision any clearer or easier?
Just a crop of another photo I had put up in the Flickr stream. The resolution of the cropped image is too low to be of any use but I wanted to share it nonetheless.

Deserving of a good punch in the face.
I’ve seen a bunch of photos lately, where people are flipping the bird to the camera (flipping the bird, giving the finger, f.u.). I’ve seen it so much, I imagine there is something of a movement going on - a thing where such a gesture is ‘cool.’ I’m probably dating myself by even using the phrase ‘cool.’
Thing is every time I see a picture like that, it annoys the sh*t out of me. So much so, I think if I were present at the moment the shutter clicked I’d be punching someone in the face.
Like I said, maybe there is this cool factor that escapes me - or maybe the whole one finger salute has metamorphasized somehow and I was unaware of it. It’s just, I remember growing up if you got flipped off like that, it meant you needed to throw someone a beating - seriously. I don’t use that kind of vernacular often (the throw the beating thing) but, it was very much a part of growing up and the neighborhood I grew up in.
I’m just figuring how I might be thinking twice before making the gesture is all.

Giving new meaning to the phrase ‘Hot Technology.’
I was just reading this article about the MacBook Pro - been thinking about getting one but, once again it has been proven to me never to go for the 1.0 version of anything.
Reports are surfacing that laptop batteries have become a cause for concern. A report on CBS-affiliate WCCO talks about how a boy’s Apple G4 iBook burst into flames. Dave Brown, an 11-year old boy left his iBook in the living room only to find that the carpet beneath the laptop had started to melt when he returned. In fear, his parents took the laptop outside only to find it in flames several minutes later. Other users on Apple’s discussion boards have reported that their power adapters have caught on fire and even the FireWire ports on some units.

What becomes a legend?
If you’re like me and you’re a child of the sixties there are some things you can tap into - vivid memories, touchstones of childhood. They are the things you can look back upon fondly and they are only enhanced by the prism of memory.
I imagine every generation since mine has grown up with their own Satuday Morning Cartoons. Consequently, I think those cartoons are the things which tie us into others of our generation. When I was growing up, Spider Man was a decent cartoon (at the time done by Ralph Bakshi), the Fantastic Four, the Banana Splits, there are others to be sure I’m just throwing a few out there.
One of the really good cartoons was Johnny Quest. Johnny Quest has managed a pretty long shelf life, I don’t know what they’re doing with the property right now but, I can remember the theme music to the cartoon, remember that the stories were always really good and that the animation was superlative. It came on towards the end of the slate of cartoons, I think it was on ABC at the time and it ran sometime after noon. It might have even been the last cartoon on the schedule before ABC switched over to Wide World of Sports r some other sports programming (of little interest to me as a kid).
Still, it was something to look forward to and savor.
If you get a chance or if you are a regular watcher of Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, the current series they broadcast, The Venture Brothers, is a tongue in cheek jab at the whole Johnny Quest thing. I love it for that very reason.
Years later as a teenager, I would buy these black and white horror magazines. They weren’t comics per se, but they always had great stories and great art. I had my favorites among the artist but, theree was one guys’ work which stood out so noticeably different from anyone elses. It was the simplicity of line, the clarity of storytelling, the deft use of tone that all combined to make something that was exceptional and extremely difficult to pull off look deceptively easy.
The man responsible for the work just passed away this weekend. Alex Toth, part of an ever dimmishing group of creators who blazed trails in a number of worlds. Click on the image below to be taken to a site where you can see some of the man’s wonderful work - his is truly a legacy to be admired.
