Where the Internet Lives, Atlanta Edition

Back on October 17 I posted some information about Google data centers in general (Where the Internet Lives!).  Here is some information specific to Google's Atlanta data center.

A local news story, from the Douglas County Sentinel:
"The Internet lives here: Google showcases local data center on new website" by Haisten Willis

And a local TV news story, from WSB TV:
"Google quietly makes strong fiscal impact on Douglas County" by John Bachman

Gary Johnson

So, who are you going to vote for?

Before you vote, take a look at this video, from The Liberty Crier:
"Gary Johnson Speaks At University of Wyoming 10-18-12"

The video is also available on YouTube:
"University of Wyoming Third Party Educational Forum" posted by govgaryjohnson

So much material in there, and I am in strong agreement with most of it.  I've already early voted (last week).  Take a guess who I voted for.

Route planner for the Roman Empire

As I've said many times before, I LOVE great Google Maps applications.  Here's a fun one!
"OmnesViae: Roman Routeplanner"
http://www.omnesviae.org/en/

Yes, Google Maps for the Roman Empire!  Bonus: It's all in Latin!

Here's a route from Rome to London:

Obama Sheep

Here's a fun video, on YouTube:

"Obama Supporters Actually Hate Obama's Policies" posted by wearechange

Check out the reactions of the stupid Obama sheep.  Hilarious.

As always, the question should not be right or left, Democrat or Republican?  The correct question is freedom or slavery, more government or less?  (Yes, I changed the order in those lists to make you think just a little bit more than usual.)

Another Obama Promise ... Broken

Remember this?  Posted on YouTube, from 2008:
"Obama Promises The World"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0tuAJkbUWU

"This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow..."


Contrast that with reality, a quick sample of what I found on YouTube:

"Hudson River FLOODS Overflows Hurricane Sandy New York & New Jersey!!!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGZoexOMeko

"Hurricane Sandy - Flooding in New York City Manhattan"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOHKKcSaBXA

"Perfect Storm Sandy Flooding In , Brooklyn New York."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhCl_trbFGc

"Hurricane Sandy floods New York City subways"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3Kh5Lzumf0


Okay, all of this is slightly tongue-in-cheek.  But in all seriousness, the utter hubris of the anointed one in the first video above makes me sick.  He can't control the rise of the oceans.  He can't even control government spending.

Artist: Bon Iver lyrics
Title: Skinny Love            

Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt, we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in this moment this order's tall

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind

In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love what happened here
We suckled on the hope in lite brassieres
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind

And now all your love is wasted
And who the hell was I?
I'm breaking at the bridges
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?
Ooh, ooh

Song of the Day: P!nk - Try
