Swine Flu

Its amazing how panic causes people and countries that are backwards to openly and outwardly display for the world their backwardness...never miss an opportunity to use an event to advance their policies...


"The Philippines' health department urged people to avoid kissing and hugging in public." (Source)


"Egypt began slaughtering the roughly 300,000 pigs in the country Wednesday as a precaution against swine flu even though no cases have been reported here, infuriating farmers who resisted the move and demanded compensation." (Maybe kill all pigs is code for something else?) (Source)


"China, Russia and South Korea banned imports of some North American pork, despite assurances that the flu is not spread through meat. " (Source)


And of course no one talks about the regular flu, which has killed 13,000 people so far this year (Source)

The Perfect and The Good

I found this over at getrichslowly about how the perfect is the enemy of the good. I found it to be quite motivational...

Singleecho gets a facelift

So like I said, I ported everything over here and will be posting here from now on. Yes I know it lives in the subdirectory of singleecho.com. Yes I would like to change that. Maybe next year, one step at a time. So now that I have finished this upgrading work, you can expect me to post more often since it will be less of a chore. If there are any problems you encounter leave me a comment and I will attempt to fix it. BTW, only 2 weeks and change until the baby due date... :-)

New Look

I have decided it is time to move singleecho from being a homegrown ghetto simple system to something a little more out of the box with a lot more bells and whistles. I exported the posts from the old format and imported them into this nifty CMS named Jaws. And yes I am in process of adding your comments all in to the system, but there is clearly less of a priority on that than there was getting this up and going before the baby arrives. So here we are, I will be turning on new functionality as it becomes appropriate, otherwise I guess enjoy me being able to post hassle free.
