My First Post From a Public Source...

Thats right boys and girls, on a CSU computer.

As much as I could assume some sort of right or assumption of privacy here, I'd deem it wise not to. Not that i've got some state secrets to share here or something, but as they say it's better to maintain a healthly level of suspicion, then a detrimental level of ignorance.

Didn't that seem insightful? It's a lie, theres no insight there, atleast I'd hope not. I would advise all to maintain a little vilgilance. It's good to be aware of that around you, always be conscious of your surroundings and situations, be it physical, socail, or political.

In reference to something I typed up before my PSC111 exam, which will hopefully appear before this post, though I doubt it. I'm lazy with the time stamping, and sometimes I just put them up as if i'd freshly typed them. There we go, suggesting typing or words could grow stagnent, as if the best literary works of man somehow had a halflife and continue to expire upon the hallowed shelves of the library of Congress. I doubt there are actually shelves in the library of Congress, in fact, I'm pretty sure all the information within is digitized, and stored away in some blade server or rack system. It's amazing how easily such old and epic work can be modernized through digital storage. To the same effect, I do wonder why the Library of Congress, as well as all others in exsistence don't maintain their wealth of information in an online accessable format. The freedom and exchange of such information, even if restricted only to citizens of certain countries or areas respectively, would do well to further man as a whole.

Imagine that if you would, being able to pull up any book online. I would imagine there'd have to be some sort of 50 year lag on entries unto the digital library, protecting writer's and publisher's copyrights and profitabililty. Damn, i'm going to write my congressman now. Wait a tick, they're both Republican, atleast until 2006, which means they have little interest in the furthering of man, or atleast a larger interest in private industry then human rights or civil liberties...

Sadly, i've not got time to explain, expound, or defend that over-reaching statement,

Till next time then,
