Are you an average person who has a great idea for a web site or web site widget that would help you out? Add your request to this web site idea blog.

A new micro-blogging web site that makes it really simple to make posts has debuted. You have a username and password like any other blog, but you also have a Master Key and this key can be placed in your URL so that you can be authenticated for making posts without going through the cumbersome step of signing in with a username and password. Where this new micro-blogging feature really comes in handy is when you want to make a quick post from your mobile phone. Now you can bookmark your posting page with your Master Key included and can start typing immediately after the page loads instead of going through a multi-step process of signing in.

The new game Spore is exciting because it lets users build a lot of the world they will be playing in. This includes an official EA Sporepedia that lets users upload their own creatures, letting other people download them to plug into their game. The downside is that Sporepedia literally has over 7 million uploads and seems to be growing by 10,000 uploads every ten minutes. But, don’t be afraid because their is a solution found in www.SearchSpore.com which tries to only show you the most exciting and useful creatures, vehicles and buildings, skipping over the junk uploads.

July 4th is an inspirational time because it is a time to reflect on the leadership of individual Americans during a challenging time to secure the blessings God has given them. It is not a time to reflect on what new government programs were given to people and it is not a time to reflect on what new rights a government gave a people. It is not a time to reflect on how militarily secure a group of colonists felt quartering British soldiers in their homes while Indians were outside. It is also not a time to honor those that have conquered other countries. It is a time to reflect on a time when enlightened people looked within themselves and UNDERSTOOD what true authority was and that God grants each person rights as we are under his creation. To deny this is to deny your maker. At times in the history of the world, men will forge nations to bind themselves in the hopes of securing these God-given rights to life under a more peaceful existance with their fellow man. The mechanisms to which man occassionally binds himself will eventually become destructive to those original moral purposes for various reasons. At times the mechanisms we bound ourselves to will cease to function towards the betterment of our goals and the mechanisms will secure themselves, alienating the people they were created for. During this time it is the peoples duty to destroy these bonds, relinquishing the destructive mechanisms, and establish new means, moral and just, by which we can secure what God has blessed us with. That is what it truly means to defend ones country and rights, not to go to Iraq and kill over a 100,000 people. Plain and simple. And today I do not support the Iraq War, but I do support the enlightening spirit by which we learn what God has blessed us with and not kings. Without that understanding how will you know to thank God? That understanding is why I’m an American. God bless America and please spread the true spirit. If the celebration of July 4th is just tradition without practice today, then independence does not live today through you. Are you a practicing American?

Go to the DIGG page and click on the link to be taken to the DHS web site for Neighborhood Watch groups and watch their new video. It is amazing what their priority messages are to our Neighborhood Watch groups. http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/DHS_to_you_terrorists_thrive_off_Starbucks_wifi_hotspots

I could believe this video when I saw it. It puts a picture of Bin Laden beside a person drinking a coffee in Starbucks with their laptop open. Then it says that terrorists thrive off these types of networks. I don’t know about you, but I know other countries have government monitoring of wifi and I don’t see many places that are more peaceful than the USA. I also want to mention that for an opposite view of this overbearing burden of “security” there is a new blog at www.ActsOfFreedom.com that promotes a message more along the lines of the character of this nation I believe. I still think Ron Paul has the best character for the job.

I have setup a new blog at http://www.byterria.com/Blog.aspx?name=ActsOfFreedom

It contains a message, a promo video for the upcoming DC rally for freedom on July 12th where Ron Paul is the confirmed keynote speaker, and a participation section for everyone to be able to post a small photo, a name, and a short message about an act of freedom they were apart of recently.

You can subscribe to the RSS feed on that web site to automaticly see new Acts of Freedom testimonials daily.
