Composting

I just created my first website. I feel rather proud of myself.

Intuit feels like it is from 2003. I would look into AJAX.

So many people don't realize that the world is going to change in a fundamental way with the advent of Twitter.

I will put it this way. Facebook was to the internet/email as Twitter is to Facebook.

Again reason for celebration. I constructed a website about composting.

Wikileaks

Wikileaks needs to be looked at by everyone. Read about it. Watch this talk about it.

Commercialization idea:

Arbitrage the first rights to stories from Wikileaks to Journalists.

Why:

Many documents that Wikileaks sources can be fairly complicated and only journalists that can specialize in that arena have the ability to make sense of the documents. Breitbart.com has made a huge amount of money by drawing advertisers to its site because it is often the first place stories happen.

I just wanted to share exactly what I look at all day long on the net. This site Dataopedia.com is up there with Google, Wikipedia, and BYU info in terms of utility.

Dataopedia takes absolutly all info that can be gleaned about a sites IP addresss and aggregates it into one place.

In case you aren't interested in what the links do, or if you don't know what a link does, it shows all data possible about BYU.edu's IP address.

Click on the link and you will see that 5% of the users and 2.3% of the pageviews come from Indian IP addresses. That's Asia Minor India, not Native American Indian. If you look farther down the DPRK (North Korea) graps a good one and a half percent of the users and half a percent of the page views. That is clearly more than South Korea, because it is not even on the map.

My point is that India is third in educating students at the university level after the US and China. In 2006 almost 400,000 students were awarded technical degrees. The Indian Educational System is growing faster than anyother in the world.

You may say,"But those Indians aren't acutally applying to BYU, there are just a billion people over there snooping around on the net for an education in the US, they aren't actually going to apply and come to BYU".

Though I personally don't know any Indians at BYU, I am well connected to the Nepalese community. Nepal is the country to the north of India and also has an impressive educational system. The number of Nepalese attending BYU increases by almost 10% every year.

LDS Youth need to be aware that the competativeness at BYU increases every year. I would venture to say it increases at a faster rate than almost any other academic institution. When I graduated high school ('03) the average ACT score for incoming freshman was 24-26, currently the average ACT score for incoming freshman is 27-29.

LDS Youth need to be aware of these things or they will need to opt. for BYU-Idaho/Hawaii, for that "BYU experience."

This documentary needs to be watched if you have ever not understood any of the following ideas:

-Why is the US and Israel are such best friends?

-Why do terrorists attack the United States?

-Why do Muslims become terrorists?

After you watch the documentary reevaluate how much trust you give those who inform you about the complicated world we live in.

If, after watching this documentary, you are left feeling unseated in your media consumption, follow Robert Jensen. He is one of the journalists who teaches at UT-Austin.

After watching Half Ton Dad, I decided to give a shout out to the 2000+ morbidly obese people in the USA who don't leave there beds, live on 30,000+ calorie a day diets, and have loving familes who not only bring them the junk food to remain fat, but bath their half ton bodies.

China

Is anyone shocked by this article. I mean honestly, Who didn't see this coming?

I just want to know, what on earth is Barack Obama doing to help America compete better globally?

As far as I can tell, I have never heard the word "china" escape his lip-glossed lips.

Mitt Romney, Ron Paul raised the China issue.
