shit.... i'm a geek.... not much of a revelation but a disappointing acceptance.

wow... it's been a while since i last ranted here... i've had so many things going on in my life, i haven't had time to write till now. I had a couple of minutes to kill so I tried the BlogMap (you can see it on the side bar and here ) Its pretty cool. Not very accurate, but cool.

Uneasy Silence

wow. that's all i gotta say. if this is true, it'll probably be the biggest thing since watergate and michael bolton's songs..

time travel

so cool. we should have thought about this sooner. but had it been any earlier, it would have been quickly dismissed as a prank. nowadays i think people are a bit more open minded.

crap

This is so embarrassing. Regardless of who is at fault, or the cause of the meelee, it is just plain embarrassing. Some notes: there are a lot of racist foreigners, there are a lot of racist Indonesians.
Notes to myself: if ever I get into an argument for my son or daughter, I hope I can keep a cool head and not resort to violence or name calling or any other low form of expression.

A bit of curio, how can a person who claims to be a Nationalist, prides himself of being Indonesian, put his son to go to an International School. The Jakarta International School at that. Can you not find a more bourgeois school? There are other better "English speaking" schools in Jakarta that are more nationalistic.

Jeez, I still cant get over how embarrassing this is. Unfortunatly for him, he will have to bear the consequences of SBY's policies and wrath.

sheesh....

race a definition...

the link above i guess shows that race is more of a sociological construct than anything else. i think it also is because we have become a more heterogenic society with more cross breeding as transport technology has progressed. so then at one point, when we have all cross bred and have become a civilization of partial breeds, then we will have become a homogenic society.

at that point, what will the role of tradition, heritage and culture play? what will happen to the "mother tongue" ? will that be more of an issue on where you live, and not what your geneaology is? isnt that already happening?

hmmmm.....

oh, one more thing, ive been looking at a pyramid scheme that some people have been touting. man, it really looks enticing. except that i'll be the guy at the bottom feeding the guys up top who do very very little.
no wonder its illegal in some countries.

but they have ways to get around that i guess. all you have to do is provide a receipt for "services rendered" and you are now a consultant. i wonder how they pay taxes. its not a steady source of income is it ? i guess it is.

i suddenly remember this guy on tv in the US who tried that "i can teach you how to make a lot of money right from your own home" line. last i heard that guy was bankrupt and indicted on a pyramid scheme accusation.

i suddenly have the urge to search up on this topic....
