DIY Altoids Prayer Wheels

DIY Tibetan prayer wheel made from an Altoids tin. Hey, I'm a Buddhist and a nerd. Put the two together and you get...

Fitting that I finished this today: I heard HHDL as part of Seeds of Compassion. Secular but still the Dalai Lama.

Some day.

Woke up to a 7 am "I'm moving out" phone call.

My office building had a fire this afternoon.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama arrived in Seattle today for a 5 day event.

I got my lowest solitaire hand ever.

The Dalai Lama's message to Tibetans

His Holiness the Dalai Lama issued this: Statement of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to All Tibetans

HHDL's message couldn't be clearer. It is complete honest, open, transparent, and unambiguous. He does not want a Tibet separate from China. He is not behind the recent protests nor does he advocate violence. Yes, he wants to sit down with Beijing and talk.

PRC, ball's in your court. BTW, did you hear about the London protests surrounding the Olympic torch?

Ringtones, have we got free ringtones!

If you have a cell phone you're probably on the prowl for free ringtones. Where does one find free ringtones? On JetCityOrange, where else.

These aren't your regular free ringtones. Oh no. Don't take my word for it, listen for yourself.

Compassion in Tibet video

The recent protests in Tibet were met with a violent and repressive response from the Chinese government. Beijing refuses to open a dialog with the Dalai Lama. The 2008 Olympics has the world watching China, the same China that so desperately wants to be a full member of the international community. Well, there are no internal issues in a global marketplace.

We're all watching. The Olympics are a long way away.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama on Tibet

His Holiness the Dalai Lama issued a statement today about the recent protests in Tibet and the violent reaction by the Chinese government. Beijing continues to falsely accuse HHDL of conspiring against the PRC and being the mastermind behind the worst riots in 20 years.

No, China is lying. China wants "the Tibet problem" to go away, preferably before the 2008 Olympics. Native Tibetans want freedom and control over their own lives. The current protests arise from years of oppression by a facsist regime, one who claims to be "communist" but is anything but. The Chinese government is as imperialistic and feudal as any on Earth. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Please sign this online petition. Contact the Chinese embassy via email: chinaembassy_us@fmprc.gov.cn or give 'em a shoutout: 1.202.328.2500 Want to lodge a protest with China's UN mission? chinamission_un@fmprc.gov.cn 1.212.655.6100 Let them know how you feel!

Meanwhile here's an article with lots of links to help you keep up with events in Tibet.

Barack on Tibet

Seems like I'm not the only upset with China's crackdown on the recent protests in and around Tibet. Barack supports the Tibetan protesters and has issued a warning to Beijing.

This needs to stop now. China needs to keeps its warlord, anti-nationalist hands off of Tibet. Tibet needs to be free. We all support His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The Communists are wrong, not to mention running dogs and pitiful lackeys. That said, the PRC needs love and compassion too. No, really. They do.

Tibet & China

Bless the Tibetans. Their persistance and dedication to freeing themselves from Beijing is wonderful. In preparation for the farce that is the 2008 Olympics, Tibetans are protesting and marching.

Hello? PRC are you listening? We're all watching...

Mrs. Spitzer

So what's up with Silda Wall Spitzer, that is Mrs. Eliot Spitzer? What went through her mind as she stood there next to him as he stated "I have acted in a way that violates my obligations to my family"?

2/29/08 is Leap Day.

This Friday, February 29 2008, is a Leap Day. Get the candles out. 4 million worldwide will get to celebrate a birthday for the first time in 4 years.

Barack in Ohio

I'm from Ohio. Cleveland to be exact. Ohio's primary election is an important milestone for Barack Obama. Well, I guess it is for Hillary too.

Ohio voters, support Obama. I'm counting on Ohio voters to do the right thing. Yes you can. If fact, you must. We're all counting on you.

Scientology is a dangerous cult!

The Church of Scientology isn't a church nor a religon. It's a dangerous cult. They're a brainwashing cult.
