I’m noticing a lot of talk about “The Poor.” It is an impersonal non-descriptive term. The prior incarnations were applied to “The Women”,” The Negro” and “The Asian (well, in the past this would have been referred to as The Chinese)” followed by the word “Problem.”During most elections, “The Poor” would be invoked as a badge of concern or at least a focal point of attention. This time is different. “The Poor” have become the enemy.In December 2011, Newt Gingrich made a statement about how poor children don’t have a clue as to understanding responsibility,...

I wanted to walk. I got a chance at the October CicLaVia. I started in Chinatown, then past the courthouse and the new Grand Park across from City Hall. At the Los Angeles Times building there were food trucks. I have learned to at least inspect them to see if it is the real deal or is somebody trying to push foo-foo food on me.I wasn't supposed to go near those trucks in the first place. Trying to cut back on carbs and the lard of the land.Over...

This a a nerd post. I'm venting. Okay, here it is the situation. I'm helping a friend install her old software to her new computer. I have my doubt about Norton Internet Security. The prior week it would not allow her to go enter certain web sites.Couldn't see where to dial down the firewall. I looked every. I say frack it, next week I'm bringing AVG and be done with it. Backed up her system (it took a long time, old XP trooper that it was).Finally...
It sucks. There is the clinical kind depression and the environmental kind of depression.They both suck.I'd elaborate more but I'd come to the same conclusion.Let's just say that when you hear some person tell someone to snap out of being depressed understand that human does not have a clue of what he or she is saying.Some times you get lost. You have to find your way out. That takes time. Or medication. Or an inspirational word, song or movie.Sunlight.Motion.There is no one way out. There is no snapping.We are not light fixtures.We are human....

I love animation in just about all the forms possible. I was telling a friend earlier in the day that I had purchased a comic book program that will animate the panels into a comic book motion graphic type video.The tools to create are becoming more accessible. But it still takes talent and writing skills to get the job done. I need more hours in the day to do what I want to do. So very much to do. For those of you on the non-progressive side of the fence you might want to hook up with me later. You won't like the video. I just know it. The video...

I finally got a new computer last Sunday. I could take no more of the lock-ups, the figuring out of what could I open when I was doing something else and being forced to shut down in the middle of a thought.I wasn't emotionally ready to buy the $1,500+ machine. I saw something at Fry's that I could upgrade and twiddle with; it became good enough. I'm in the middle of re-installing software.Trying not to load it up like I did with the last one. The deeper question is, "does a person really need four different video editing programs?" Well, yeah...
