Hey Sean, thanks for stopping by! I like your idea and hope it helps bring attention to the rising crisis. I could be there pretty soon for all I know!

Keep up the inventive work!

Thank you so much for all the encouragement on here with the Pimp This Bum project. I’ve uplaoded some new videos I edited tonight at http://www.youtube.com/pimpthisbum – - – one in particular is Tim’s 38th birthday party where me and John get him pretty good with silly string. Wayne – great post, I appreciate it!

David, I try to find some time to daydream. When I do, there are a myriad of sites that could be made, but only a few that would merit a second thought. Also a matter of time, “is it worth the effort?”.

Of course, I’m assuming a certain level of (on-going) involvement with the site too. I think the site is going to get picked up by some organization and they’ll make a pretty penny. Not too shabby I’d say. Where do I sign up?

Vanea, no, you’re not a pain in my ass, come on. I’m actually delighted you comment now. Your grammar throws me off, but I’m getting used to it. I’m not that worldly in written form, only in real life. lol

But, wow man. Revolution? You alright there pal?

I like to think that i’m a friend of yours now and i don’t want to be a pain in the ass… But, i want to say something about this subject, powerty and those who give a hand to help it grow! You know what will really help? Few guerrilleros like CHE ! With machine guns… Sorry, i’m upsead! But i really can’t understand some political leaders from today! Especially from my country… Sorry again, Wayne, i don’t want to cause you troubles, but i can’t stand and watch anymore! I this world from today smells of revolution! God help us…!

Interesting concept on that web site. I can not tell you how many times I thought an idea would not work, only to see someone else do well with it. The lesson should be, as Nike would say “Just DO IT”.

Holte, don’t take that the wrong way, I’m just becoming more and more sensitive to spammers as I’m seeing more and more each day and starting to understand their tactics more.

The barnacle thing was only an amusing simile, hope you took it that way.

Demeur, that’s really nice of you to do.

Not only did they cut funds to homeless shelters, but also to education! We’re already…what? 47th worst state for education and they cut it even more?!?!?!

I just don’t understand, not for the life of me.

It’s sad to think that for every Tim out there 50 more are showing up in homless camps every day in towns all over the country. I’ve done everything I can to help with the problem even while being out of work myself. We’ve had a homeless couple stay for a couple of months until they were able to get on their feet.
What gets my goat so to speak is that our Governor and a couple of mayors in this state are cutting funds to homeless shelters while at the same time give tax breaks and goodies to developers putting up half million dollar condos.

Consider me engaged, I have been blogging since January 2009 and I need all the help I can get and I chose your site to pick up tips, and I have managed to do that, I am pretty sure you can learn nothing from me about technology, so its all one-way traffic. I shall work hard not to be a barnacle. Thanks

Holte, thanks for responding back. To answer your question, yes. A spammer is truly a person that sends unwanted emails, but I’m using it here to denote a person that leaves a comment simply for a link a back to their web site of choice.

I read each and every comment made on this site, as I should, and when I take the time to read the comments, I’m hoping for something a little more than a one-liner. Something thoughtful, insightful, or simply a ‘hey, how ya doing’ from someone I know and has reached that point where they can do that without being considered a spammer.

I don’t know you well enough to say either way, so I just called it out to see how you would react. My apologies if I have misunderstood your intentions. I’ve been on a kick to weed out those that are just leaving comments to gain links back to their site.

In a way, it’s like scraping barnacles off the side of the ship. They’re going to attach themselves, nothing you can do about that. But every now and then, you need to scrap them down and remove them.

You’ll need to do the same after running your blog for some time. Don’t take it personally, just trying to engage you a little more to understand your motivations for visiting my site.

It’s all part of blog ownership.

Karen, Yurts…lol, forgot about those. I probably shouldn’t tho…may just need one myself eventually. Keep watching and smack me upside the head if you see me falling asleep at the wheel.

I’m trying to get this year organized so I can hopefully make this year better than last. I feel behind, haven’t posted in a few days.

I’ll probably just continue to mush through life heading to my yurt in retirement. However while I’m being amazing lazy, I will watch you come up with really cool new stuff!
