Nice ash

Back to work after paternity leave for a few weeks.. Last night felt like the last night of summer. The sick pit of the gut feeling set in..

This song reminds me of a warm night under summer stars.


A shame I can’t swim.


Goodnight all.

Good evening.

My niece is in Florida this week.. And from her comes a beautiful image of a beautiful sunset with a sailboat going into the distance.. Jealousy takes over as more snow is expected for parts of Coal Speaker territory..

Think winter is over? .. If you're on the East Coast, there is a chance March 20th will make you think otherwise

Sheen lost the shine

…and it’s for all to see.

What I originally thought was inventive marketing seems to have spiraled out of control..

Just as CBS fired Sheen from TWO AND A HALF MEN, Chuck took to a roof waving a machete..

Just as I thought the machete was just one last attempt to get some attention, he appeared on the internet, looking more like a corpse than a man, looking less like a star of a hit TV sitcom, and more like SKELETOR from the 1980s cartoon HE-MAN..

Is this the light of fame shining down on a soul of someone who has no shame? Is this, perhaps, the ultimate of greed profit in the sin city of Tinseltown..? Is this the image of a man who will one day have a star on the Hollywood walk of fame? .. shame.


No, this is the image of a troubled soul, empty and void of common sense at the moment.. And the world’s watching. But then again, all the world’s a stage.. And Charlie Sheen may be one of its best players..

Cool cover

Be at peace.

'Spectacular' cyber attack hits French government

…watching this one closely..


infoneer-pulse:




The French finance ministry has shut down 10,000 computers after a “spectacular” cyber attack from hackers using Internet addresses in China, officials and reports said on Monday.


The hackers were hunting for documents relating to the Group of 20 (G20) developed and developing nations, which this year is led by France, said Budget Minister Francois Baron, adding that a probe was under way into the attacks.


“We have leads,” Baroin told Europe 1 radio, saying that what he called a “spectacular” attack was “probably the first time” that the French government’s computer system had been hit on this scale.

Cryptome has famously led the way in posting secret government documents throughout the years—much longer in operation than Wikileaks as well..
