Life

Brandon | Me | Monday, November 26th, 2007

I was hoping for something big to happen today, but it didn’t.  I guess God has something bigger, but it’s really hard to notice anything bigger when what you do see doesn’t work out the way you wanted it to.

I guess that’s just the way God made life… so that we can learn to appreciate everything He’s given us.

ConcealedCampus.org

I ran across this site this week when browsing my usual news sites. The organization is dedicated to keeping or reestablishing our right to carry concealed handguns on campus. Setting a standard of having “gun-free zones” does absolutely nothing for innocent, law abiding citizens, and tells those who would do us harm exactly where they could do the most damage with a lower risk of being stopped.

Gun-Free Zone

I don’t currently have a license to carry a concealed handgun, but I will in the not so distant future. I believe it’s part of my responsibility in having a family. I know I will probably not have my family with me at school, but isn’t it also my responsibility to do everything I can to return home in the same condition that I left it? I need to support them, but will not be able to if I am suddenly a victim of a random act of violence.

What do you think?

Chuck & Journeyman

Brandon | Entertainment,Opinion | Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

I believe that NBC is currently my favorite television network.  I started tuning in on Monday nights to watch Heroes, but I’ve fallen into the desire to watch the shows that surround it.

Chuck is a fun show.  I can predict a lot of what’s going to happen, but the premise of the show is awesome.  There’s a few technical details that they really messed up on, such as the dead hard drive incident in the first episode, but I find myself watching anyway.

Journeyman, I believe I’ve stated already, has even better circumstances.  They have really impressed me with the thought that goes into this show.  I’d have to say that this is my favorite between the two.

I’ve heard, however, that Journeyman hasn’t been getting the ratings that NBC was expecting, so it might not make it.  They need to give it more time… it’s got staying power.  Apparently Chuck’s getting OK enough ratings to keep it on the air, but I’m sure that if they switched the two time-slots that Journeyman would have better ratings.  I know that’s probably hard to do with a show as complicated as Journeyman, but I’m sure it’s just the time-slot.

WordPress Upgrade

Brandon | Me,Tech Stuff | Sunday, November 18th, 2007

I’ve upgraded to the newest version of WordPress. It was relatively easy. Let me know if you notice any bugs in the site.

It took a little longer because I had to figure out which FTP software to use since I’m on Ubuntu. gFTP looked like the program I should use, but FileZilla turned out to have the functionality I needed.

I’ve gotten almost everything I need working in Ubuntu so far. I haven’t run Windows on my computer in almost a month!

A lot more has happened over the past few weeks. I hope to expound soon.

Drew Carey on Medicinal Marijuana

Brandon | Opinion,Politics | Friday, November 2nd, 2007

This video is on reason.tv. Drew Carey is doing a whole project with them discussing different issues. This is what I would call a very strong case for legalizing medicinal marijuana use.
