Lulzsec
BEFORE YOU READ: I am sorry to start a rant about this, but i havent found any article that vaguely relates to how I see the organization Lulzsec. Also note that if you have a logical argument against my viewpoint i will be willing to hear it.
This week one if the hackers from Lulzsec was arrested and is now being tried for hacking into various major corporations and agencies. People are screaming 'good riddance for the nuisance!'. And theyre partially right. Lulzsec IS a nuisance, but no one should be breathing a sigh of relief. Not because he was only one hacker in an entire group, but because Lulzsec could be in fact giving everybody a sign of warning with these high-profile attacks, yet the people who SHOULD be heeding to it are wishing to blot it out.
I will be blunt: Our security is crap. It only gives us a sense of safety against spammers and bots, but what about actual hackers? Once a hacker gets a hold of ANY data he finds relevant, everything linked to the internet is as open as a library full of books.
So what is the warning this should be giving us? Not that we need to eliminate the crime element in the world, because obviously we've been working on that since the B.C. eras and its still here. No, we need to improve on our security, learn from their feats so that FUTURE HACKERS do not follow suit.
In case you remember from your high school language arts classes, Lulzsec would probably be sorted underneath the satire category. Satire is 'the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing,denouncing an injustice or practice.' (taken from dictionary.com)
Lulzsec is ridiculing these large and important organizations in hopes that they change their internet security and policies, but it seems that the 'big guys' are failing to read between the lines.
Lulzsec is just as they claim to be, a benign hacker community. We should be seeing them as rogue security consultants who do their work 'for the lulz'.
Lulzsec are not the evil in the world.
They are warning to prepare ourselves for those who are.
PS. When Lulzsec is gone, what is the chance that whoever takes their place will be as harmless?

Well i think its true...
Well i found this picture on one of my friend's tumblr, and i found it hilarious, and surprisingly accurate...
its missing two more pics- America as seen by Americans, and Europe as seen by Europeans. Fortunately for us, I live in America, and have gone to great lengths to create the following pic. If anyone grew up in a European country, please feel free to make your own!

SCHOOL IS OUT!
Its about time!
Very funny.
This week has been so tiring, even though they let school out early the last three days. All those extra hours they gave us?
I slept.
Im terribly sorry!
Anyway, now I am officially going to become a senior! Just one more year, and then 2012---
Very funny.Oh yeah, I have a theory on how the rapture and revelation will work, but i guess ill have to keep that to myself (It would be more believable than the doomsday people i promise)
Alrighty, now that school is out, Im sure some of my friends dont mind that i actually have fun with them now that there will be absolutely nothing to do! God I wish I had a car!

The Kerna Project
Sorry for the shorter posts this week- I've been quite busy and still am with school, scouts and a couple other things.
Anyway, i am itching to reveal that my last venture with science fiction made me really want to make a go at something bigger than just a paragraph-
A galaxy, complete with its own history, heroes, plights and progress! Right now i've outlined the entire setting and began on the first of the chronicle. I still need to fill in the blanks on pretty much every aspect, but hey; i'm having the time of my life making this! And that, is how it should be.
Now, i have a question for you: should i reveal part of the outline on tuesday, or would it be better to wait and show something a little more interesting?

Something to think about
You know the fights that you get into with one friend, but then you end up with another friend as a referee? Sure you got mad at them for calling out stuff you said, but in the end they saved yourself a friendship? I've written a passage for our personal lifeguards.
Level-headed people level the field. Once they're gone, the hills become mountains and the dales become chasms, and from the boundaries spring pyres to consume whats left of the civilized.
Not everything is your cup of tea. What works for one doesn't have to work for the other. One is spontaneous, the other is planned; one likes the light, the other likes it a little darker. One prefers to control, the other simply doesn't care. That is why there are so many variations in art and philisophy,
because no one would take their friend's cup of tea.
Keep your friends. They're getting harder to find

Dragging it on- Japan
I am terribly sorry, but even though some people i know want the ranting about how to help Japan to stop, I do not mean to repeat what -they- say.
First off, Japan technically does not need the kind of help we might expect them to need- food, hygiene, and survival kits. They are not a developing country, and they can afford to give themselves aid, as Japan has the third largest economy in the world. They've already supplied themselves to rebuild, there's not much we can do to help.
What kind of aid would they need? Sure, many countries are now refusing to import now-irradiated Japanese goods, but be serious- economics is long term: think at least a 5-year time span. They're not going to go under, as nuclear disaster has occurred before; they KNOW how to recover. Simply give them sympathy, and respect as they do their best resume their daily lives, just like the rest of us.
For thousands of years, the Japanese time and again had earthquakes and tsunamis hit their homeland. For thousands of years, the Japanese rebuilt their homeland every time it ever became devastated. They reinforced their homes and workplaces with the best money can buy, and they encounter these natural disasters so often that they simply resume their work afterwards. The Japanese were prepared for this, and the world is thankful.
We, as citizens of the world, can learn alot more from the Japanese reactions during their time of peril. When the lights in the stores went out and goods flew off the shelves, shoppers rushed to return the products on the shelves once the worst passed. There was no reports of looting. Japanese news channels only reported anything that gave hope, and organized crime such as the Yakuza turned out to be the largest contributors to the recovery effort, delivering medical supplies and handing out uncontaminated food in spite of all of the risks the drivers and volunteers took on their lives to help their community. Imagine what a miracle it would be if there was order in a place of utter chaos. That is Japan.
Japan: the hub of Asian culture. It will never be gone forever.
