All totally factual.

Is it any good? Let me know.

I recently watched Gladiator with Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix, and it was a pretty good movie. At a few points in the movie, I noticed a theme in the music that sounded extremely familiar: var so = new SWFObject(“http://james-irwin.com/files/playerSingle/playerSingle.swf","mymovie", “192”, “67”, “7”, “#FFFFFF”);so.addVariable(“autoPlay”, “no”); so.addVariable(“soundPath”, “http://james-irwin.com/files/gladiator-snippet.mp3");so.write("flashPlayer");It took a couple times of hearing the theme, but I did eventually realize where I had heard it: var so = new SWFObject(“http://james-irwin.

Just Googling along seeing what shows up about myself in the omniscient oracle, and I find this. This is a comment I made a few weeks ago on a Digg article that got quite a few hits. And it shows up in an online Linux magazine? The Internet (with a capital “I”) is an amazing place.

There is a disparity between my social self and my intellectual self. Being busy with other people simply distracts me from the things I really want to focus on. But there are aspects of my social side that do not get fulfilled when I am living a solitary existence. I start to feel like I have no drive; Like there is no point. Thus, the disparity between my two sides makes me horribly unproductive.

That’s how many farmers in India have committed suicide since 1993. That’s 9,375 a year, or about 26 a day. And it’s because their farms were failing. Thanks to Monsanto and their wonderful terminator seeds, pesticides, and INSANE industrial agriculture attitude, 150,000 Indian families may no longer have a father. Thank you, Monsanto. Thank you.

How the current elements of my life relate.
