Write your representative.

    In a republic like ours one of the greatest things we can do as citizens to influence legislation is to write our representatives and senators to voice our opinion.  For this hour in history I strongly suggest writing your representative in congress against SOPA.  The Stop Online Piracy Act will allow the U.S. Government to use DNS blocking; the same method used by the PRC, Iran and Syria to censor The Internet and keep there citizens in the dark.


    Please help fight SOPA!  Fellow The Dallesians and eastern Oregonians please email Greg Walden.  You can also sign a petition at whitehose.gov to let the white house know what we think about this bill and where they can shove it.

Playing Mari0 on Ubuntu 12.04

If you are looking to play Mari0 on Ubuntu you may have run into a bit of a roadblock because love 0.8.0 is not yet available for Precise from the love-unstable ppa.  No need to worry though the .deb file for Oneiric will work just fine.   First download the .deb from launchpad, either amd64 or i386 .  Then install dependencies by running. $ sudo apt-get install libdevil1c2 libmng1 libfreetype6 libgl1-mesa-glx liblua5.1-0 libphysfs-1.0-0 libsdl1.2debian libopenal1 libogg0 libvorbis0a libvorbisfile3 libflac8 libflac++6 libmpg123-0 libc6 libgcc1 libphysfs1 libstdc++6 Then install the love-unstable with dpkg ~/Downloads$ dpkg -i love-unstable_0.8.0~r1028-0oneiric1_<amd64/i386>.deb Run  love-unstable on mari0  ~/mari0$ love-unstable mari0_1.3.love Enjoy what is possibly the coolest crossover game of all time.

Giving to those in need this Christmas?

    One of my favourite missions organizations, Gospel for Asia , has an excellent Christmas catalogued , for giving to those in need in Asia.  You can give an animal, which as Alton Brown says is like giving someone a small business .  People can sell eggs from chickens, milk from goats, etc. Also you can give blankets, fishing nets, even a well.     One thing that I love about Gospel for Asia is that they promise to send 100% of your donation to the missions field.  So if you worry about middle men pocketing money this is a good organization for you to give to.  Everything that you give to GFA goes directly to people working in one of the areas that is most untouched by the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Warm season running goals

  Now that it's possible to step outside without fear of slipping, falling and cracking my head open on some ice it's time to put back on the running shoes and go enjoy the sun (or rain as the case may be) again.   Distance   There was a time last summer when I could run 30k in a week.  It felt great to be able to run 10k every other day without feeling 100% miserable the entire time.  After a break lasting several months I am nowhere near having that kind of a base.  My plan is to start things off with a goal of 15k per week moving up 10% every week until I get to 40k a week.  I can't really see myself being able to run more than that.  A t some point this summer I'll be adding regular biking and swimming into the mix.   I should probably leave time for family, work and sleep somewhere in my schedule... Pace   I'm pretty slow.  I've never really gotten much better.  Even when I was in decent running shape I was h...
