It’s not often the Google blog team has trouble..But for hours so far today they have. Blogs are down, posts are being deleted, and all sites hosted on Blogger.com have been put into ‘read only’ mode.. This as Blogger attempts to upgrade and redo its system *and make it look a bit more like Tumblr in style and approach, as well..
I find it fun, though, that the Blogger snobbers, who have bashed the reliability of Tumblr for some time now, find themselves without a platform of expression.. This as Tumblr tumbles and reblogs itself into the evening hours this Thursday night.
But as someone who has a blog on Tumblr, and one on Blogger, I have come to learn the hard way that a third site I seldom update but still own is the best: It’s pure HTML, uploaded and updated in Notepad. Nothing can go wrong unless I don’t pay a bill…
I guess in the end the net is a fragile place.
I have often wondered what I’d do were I to find my Twitter Tumblr Blogger and others all deleted. I think it would be a FTPing shock, but life would go on. And maybe it would all be better, at that..

I had a dream last night that iced chemtrails were being sprayed on me .. They were about 5 feet off the ground .. I had a hammer and would chisel them. But even with them visible no one else saw them. Maybe I’m the next Edgar Cayce. Or just getting too little of sleep.

Senator Schumer has called for a “do not ride” list for Amtrak trains, as America’s near-hysterical reaction continues to the sudden killing of Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan..
First planes.. now trains. Will a lawmaker soon introduce a do not drive list? It’s only fitting that a list like that would be next..

AP:
The world is expected to get its first glimpse at Osama bin Laden’s daily life as the world’s most wanted terrorist Saturday with the disclosure of home videos showing him strolling the grounds of the fortified compound that kept him safe for years

…and. 60,000+ of those jobs came from McDonalds.. But 1million people applied for the 60,000 jobs.. So 6% of so of those desperate to work got jobs somewhere they probably didn’t want to work at.. And that’s not putting down McDonalds workers in the least, do not think I am.. But it is a testimony to the depression-level job crisis this nation is in.. It appears to be deepening. With the real unemployment numbers at 17%+ and the youth unemployment well in the 20 percentile, it appears we are creating a permanent underclass… One without pensions, health care, or jobs paying more than minimum wage.. But we got Osama. And for a few minutes everything seemed alright…..until we all woke up the next day.
CNN reporting: 'Al Qaeda released a statement on jihadist forums confirming the death of its leader, Osama bin Laden, according to SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors militant messages'… No independent determination has yet come that this is true

If my wife and I are as emotional as we are about her FMLA ending and someone new watching during the day (and believe me he’s in good hands) I guess by his school age we’ll just be downright suicidal.. But this isn’t easy. I guess it will get so in time. Then BAM! he’s in college… That’s just how life goes: In the blink of an eye. It’s why during those fleeting moments we try to keep our eyes wide open.
The increase of emotions on everything.. Sentimentality.. Joy .. Sadness.. Laugher. Everything is elevated.. It’s amazing how one life changes everything. And if you couldn’t tell by now, yes my wife’s FMLA is over….

I’m such a a proud dad tonight.. my 3-month-old son did something I did when I was a kid.. Watched the horrendously bad movie SUPERFUZZ. I watched it with him.. we shared a moment.
My wife wasn’t impressed.. but I get the sense he will be watching it again.
Like father like son?
My God, if so, God bless him.
A CH47 Chinook was damaged but not destroyed during the bin laden operations.. After, U.S. forces decided to destroy it with explosives..
According to reports, Bin Laden was buried at sea at 2 am EST. Before the shark dinner began, his body was taken via helicopter to Afghanistan to confirm it was him.. Additional reports: Saudi Arabia didn’t want the body
I’ve been really thinking on this.. I know, Muslim Law.. I know, we didn’t want to make a worship-able grave site.. But why dump Osama in the sea so fast? Really? Why without an image.. And as morbid as it may be, this is one dead man that I think the world would want to see for its own eyes… Just thinking and wondering out loud..
I’m sure there’s a logical answer to my conspiratorial ramblings at 4:40 am..
The streets in NYC are alive.. DC thrives..other big places and small towns celebrate.. Bars are probably full and Facebook is on fire… Bloggers are Tumbling like mad on Tumblr.. What an interesting night of history it is..
ABC News’ Sunlen Miller reports: Large crowd of people, about 200 by my estimate and growing, has gathered outside the White House gates on Pennsylvania Avenue, waving flags and dancing.
They sang, in unison, the Star Bangled Banner.
They are celebrating and chanting “USA USA USA.”
They…“A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed,” President has just said in his speech.
Osama bin Laden: Dead or alive
But in the end, it solves no problem, just closes an old book we never quite finished.. But that’s not saying it’s not a historic night
God Bless America
