Online database of U.S. political prisoners

I finally put together a database of U.S. political prisoners using Google Spreadsheets.

Only a first cut. It needs proofing, but it's a start.

I smell a mashup yet to be done...

Ken Kesey's bus Further

Further, the bus from Electric Kool-aid Acid Test. Full of Merry Prankster ghosts and memories on display at Hempfest Seattle 2009. More photos are online on JetCityOrange.

Help fight malaria with malariacontrol.net

Install the malariacontrol.net screensaver and your computer's spare cycles will help researchers learn more about malaria transmission vectors. After you install the screensaver please join the JetCityOrange team. OK?

Ghoulardi & Shaker Heights

Ahhh, Ghoulardi... Memories of my youth growing up in Cleveland.

Obama Doesn't Deserve the Nobel Prize

Hey. I used to respect the Nobel Prize. Heck, His Holiness the Dalai Lama snagged on.

But Barack Obama? Nice guy and all but he ain't done shit yet. There are no accomplishments to recount. No trophies on his mantle. And I voted for the guy. He's too conservative for me, but I voted for him.

But his on my shit list. The latest insult was snubbing the Dalai Lama this week for fear of pissing off the Chinese before his visit next month. Pissing off the Chinese? When was that a concern of ours?

Let's get this straight: our new Nobel Prize winner favors bald faced, unbriddled capitalism over human rights and genocide. I'm sure the Uighers and Burmese as well as the Tibetans appreciate this cold-hearted decision.

Close Guantanamo? No. Get out of Iraq? No. Bitch slap Wall and reform Street and Detroit? No. Gay rights? Healthcare reform? Change I can believe in? Nope.

What's he done? What can I tick off my list? How is my life better and what about my kids' future? My only satisfaction is that we're not living under the McCain/Palin regime.

Liberals, they always break your heart. We need our own party...

Bike Photos

I love my bike. (Yes, I'm down to only 1.)

I've just put a gallery of bike photos online.

Civil Rights Photographs

I've been scanning vintage photos of the Civil Rights Movement. I own tons of stuff and if you're not in my living room, you don't get a chance to see them.

Not any more. I'm scanning select images: the Black Panthers, Stokely Carmichael, H. Rap Brown, etc. I have items like FBI wanted posters as well as photographs.

Now that I've started, I'm finding it hard to stop.

Black Panther Party photos

I've started to digitize my collection of civil rights photographs beginning with vintage photos of the Black Panther Party. They're available online at JetCityOrange.com/Black-Panther-Party/.

There's plenty more yet to come...

Pogoplug Web Server Video

A quick video tour of our Pogoplug web server:

Website Hosted on PogoPlug

AzaleaRSS.com is one of the first websites hosted on a Pogoplug. AzaleaRSS is a free RSS editor written in Microsoft Excel and creates feeds, podcasts, and webcasts.

The Pogoplug is a very small Linux appliance from CloudEngines originally designed as a way to mount USB drives online. The nerds at AzaleaRSS see Pogoplugs as cheap Linux computers and something kewl to play with. Using an 8GB USB flash drive for storage, a web server was born. Total cost: less than 100 dollars.

The AzaleaRSS server runs Nginx and PHP, and was configured by Cory King in Seattle.

Support the Iranian Protesters

Our sisters and brothers in Iran need our help. Their government is not their friend or ally. The first thing we can do is change our Twitter location and time zone to Tehran so the authorities have a harder time tracking them. Do it now!

Consider setting up a proxy server and/or a TOR server too.

All power to the people!,
