Ever felt you can’t focus on someone or something because something is scheduled? In my case, I was trying to focus on God Almighty and I kept becoming aware that I only had a half an hour before I had to start getting ready for work. That ain’t natural, and that ain’t the way it’s supposed to be. So I…

Facebook, Apple and Big Brother Peep in your Bedroom at Night
“Facebook, Apple and Big Brother Peep in your Bedroom at Night” Does that title sound creepy? Good. It should. And now, it’s real. I mean literally real. Not a movie, but real. The kind of real like when you have a severe gas pain that renders you immobile. That kind of real. The ever-spying, ever-invasive Facebook with their nasty little…
Where Have All the Heroes Gone?
A friend forwarded me this most interesting article on the clearly increasing participation in street protests in the UK and around the world. Old ‘Anonymous’ is rising up and increasing it would appear. It reminded me of ‘occupy Vancouver’ way back in 2011. And it reminded me of other things from my youth that I joined in to protest. Most…
It’s Time to Hate What Google Has Made You
You have been a frog in lukewarm water and Google (and Apple, and Microsoft, and others) have turned up the heat without you noticing. Well, you kind of noticed. You kind of noticed how some conveniently relevant ads started showing up in your inbox and on all the websites you started visiting. You kind of noticed how the mail that…
Seriously Moving Artwork for Our Generation
It’s very rare that I’m moved by art, to be frank. I’m kind of pragmatic and busy. But this link crossed my path and stopped me in my tracks. Steve Cutts, whoever this guy is – is simply amazing. Take a look at each piece of art. Just let each one sink in and I’m convinced you might start to…
Google’s New Daddy Alphabet and Why You Should Care
Whether you are a conspiracy theory buff or not, it’s probably a safe bet to say that you think Google is a big and powerful global company that has the potential to do some ‘serious stuff’ if they wanted. Well, today marks a new day in history when you might want to amplify your efforts to withdraw from their ever-reaching…
Pornography is Worse than Cancer
I know the title of this blog post is pretty strong, but it’s the truth. As I get older the burning desire inside of me for truth has been further fueled. At about the age of 11 I had my first exposure to pornography when I found a magazine under a bush near my house. The very depths of my…
Apple: Always the Ubuntu Wannabe
Today after reading an article about how the fruit company plans to introduce continuity as an innovation, I just chuckled to myself. Again, the fruit folks are sitting there watching all the innovation going on in Ubuntu and scrambling to try to take the ideas, recode them on their own locked down proprietary systems, and implement them for profit. As…
Why Ubuntu: A Bird’s Eye View
I have been a happy member of the Ubuntu community and user of the product for years now. Today I decided to ask the internet ‘why’. I had my own reasons why but I wondered what Mr. WWW was telling people. I was surprised. I couldn’t find any short summary. It was all too product-based or too philosophy based but…
Diaspora – Social Media that Actually Excites Me
Originally posted at www.blenzseymour.com at Sun, 10/02/2011 – 21:09 Finally. After what seems like years, I got my invite to sign up at Diaspora. The coolest thing to me is that you probably don’t even know what it is yet. Don’t worry – people like me will spread the news quick. In a few words, it’s a dumbed down version…
