hello america, i love you.

the power supply to my laptop broke and i cant fix it because mac uses cheap strain reliefs and their connectors dont come apart. damn them. i have one hour left and probably 5 days before the new one comes in so sorry i am typing this fast without links.

1. some dude from GM was saying today after announcing the factory closings and restructuring that no one can just expect any big company to be able to adapt fast enough to keep up with the changes in the auto market these days. I dont have time to look for the exact quote... but it was something like that. i would like to submit this as proof that american large companies arent hiring forward thinking people to run their companies... toyota, honda and VW dont seem to be having any problems. maybe because they caught on to everything 10 years ago when all the warning flags went up and didn't have their govt bail them out so they could make / force SUV on people for years after they should have stopped selling them. you cant force people to buy what they dont want... and... oh yeah, since i dont like complaining without offering solution... Dear GM, remember when you made an electric car in the 90's and recalled them all /refused to sell them anymore? that was awesome. remember when, if you kept selling them, you would have been way ahead in the market right now and had an entirely different business? i remember that. so my solution, stop being stupid bull headed americans and try creating a product people want and need. one that fits in with the future of the US and works with the materials available to the customer. thanks.

2. the bra that generates power to charge your ipod as you run:
one sample article of many...

this has been going around for a while. its completely stupid. i mean, i am all for finding a million ways to collect residual energy but... ummm. the only reason its getting so much press is because its about bouncing tits. really, lets think, when running, what else moves far more on both men and women that you could collect energy from? yes, thats right. arms and legs. 2 arms and 2 legs moving a lot with every step.

i will not start talking about stupid things in the press regularly. i promise. i just dont have time to turn my last 3 days into a poorly written cryptic 'poem' right now.

i only have 37 minutes left.

nite soldier... x5
