Just a quick ramble and a quick Jailbreak!

Today In iOS - http://tii.libsyn.com

Where are my Drivers? Poo = $$ - Shhhsss it is okay to Jailbreak, but wait. Richard Vobes Update, Freecycle and Sorry Charlie I'm done!

Konica Minolta

Where are my Windows 7 drivers?

Can Poo save you money?

No this is not trickle down economics! New water system for high rise buildings may just be the answer.

Industrial design student Tom Broadbent, hopes so. His Highdro Power device is meant to harness the power of plummeting wastewater in the pipes of high-rise buildings. When emptying a tub in a hotel room, Broadbent says he realized a potential energy source was washing down the drain.

Can you say Jailbreak Time!

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) won three critical exemptions to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) anti-circumvention provisions today, carving out new legal protections for consumers who modify their cell phones and artists who remix videos — people who, until now, could have been sued for their non-infringing or fair use activities.

If Jailbreaking iOS is now “legalized”, that takes a large portion of the the stigma and the psychological barrier of illegality away. It is estimated that approximately 10 million iOS devices have been “Jailbroken” and are in current use.

De-stigmafying Jailbreaking may very well be the answer Adobe is looking for, it could provide its own App and Jailbreaker that would install Flash libraries and any number of other applications that would normally never pass Apple’s highly restrictive review processes.

Would you Jailbreak your iPad, iPhone?

New Spirit-like Jailbreak for iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad and iPod touch 3G Delayed

"Not to make it a daily thing, but since somehow people thought it would be today: the new JB+unlock won’t be out today"

"(there are issues with important apps like Facetime that need to be figured out…no sense releasing a half-broken JB)"

Does size really matter? It must to SanDisk they've launched the smallest USB flash drive in North America

It weighs about the same as a penny and is the size of a paper clip, great just one more thing I need to lose. Let's face it just give me chip, put it in my finger. I can swipe over my keyboard and store my files in it or download them to the computer.

I rarely lose my fingers.

Richard Vobes update

Early in July, Richard Vobes, a UK Podcaster, had surgery to remove his left eye. He'd been fighting a virus/bug in the eye for 3 years I think.

This month Richard received a phone call from Moorfields, to let him know that there may be other issues with the eye's removal. The eye biopsy showed a small freckle which is being examined and means that Richard will be facing more stress while test and scans are done.

I spoke with Richard this week, he said he's looking forward to a temporary prosthetic eye and the permanent one to come.

If you've never had a chance to listen to Richard you are missing out. He is one of the first podcasters I heard. I found that just listening to him makes you feel like you know him and and he quickly starts to feel like your friend.

Freecycle

Want to get rid of something but know that it is still useful just not to you? Have you check out Freecycle? It is a non-profit group that connects people in or near the same area and helps them get rid of or request items that they need or don't want. No money is exchanged, if you need something ask, if you have it give it away. No exchanges, no bartering, no money.

Firing your clients

There are just some clients who you no longer want to work with. It could be they difficult to work with or you are no longer in that line of work.

Perhaps it is even because they won't listen and their policies or requirements will make your work suffer and could make you look bad. Whether you’ve only done a little work for the client or you’ve been together a long time, it’s never easy to fire a client.

How do you do? Why and for what reason?

Gay Mennonite, Go to Hell! or Welcome, let's get to know each other in Christ? Prom Season in MS is Gay Bashing Season!

amishphonebook@gmail.com (The Amish Podcaster) — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 21:50:14 +0000

So if you are Gay does that mean you are going to Hell? Some religions say yes, other say no. Then there are some that take no stand.

What is the point of condemnation at the door? Open doors may lead to open hearts. Can Mennonite Peace and Justice, be applied to LGBTQ? What about families with Gay members?

What does a Mississippi school have to say about formal wear at the Prom? Can my same-sex date go?

Find Me - Jesus was an Anarchist - Richard Vobes - Family Reunions - Welcome to summer - iPad Save ME!!!

amishphonebook@gmail.com (The Amish Podcaster) — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 04:38:26 +0000

Do you think Jesus was an Anarchist? Was He a subversive? Was He here to promote a systematic agenda to overthrow or undermine the World Kingdoms? Did He have it out for political systems? Should Christians be subversives? Should we have an agenda that fights against the current political system? Should we live in the worldly kingdom or the Christ Kingdom? Visit Jesus Radical and Jesus Manifesto and see why they are merging their websites.

Do you want to be found? Lost e-mail and friend finder?

Facebook, Myspace, personal website, Wordpress? Just what do you use? Do you have a family site?

Richard Vobes goes to the hospital. Richard, I hope all goes well and that you will find relief. Richard is having one of his eyes removed after a long battle with Acanthamoeba infection.

It is summertime, hotdogs, potato salad, fireworks and family reunions.

Hello... is it me you're looking for?

Mennonite Couch Potatoes - Are Mennonites too comfortable or complacent? Homogenization-Globalization of the Mennonite & Amish culture.

amishphonebook@gmail.com (The Amish Podcaster) — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 22:45:00 +0000

“Have Mennonites become to comfortable? Is the lack of a draft affecting how Mennonites react as a peace church? Would Mennonites be more proactive if there was a Draft?”
“How important is it to keep ones religious and cultural identity?”
“Can one live in the world without being consumed by or succumbing to the world?”
“What significance should be placed on cultural and religious heritage? Can you dismiss 500 years of heritage and convictions to accommodate a diverse population?”
“Should Mennonites be more proactive? Is Peaceful Civil Disobedience acceptable? Where does one draw the line between being part of the world and being separate from the world?”
“Do Mennonite values change to meet the worlds view or do they stand with heritage, cultural and religious history?”

What will or what does it take for Mennonites to step back to their heritage and cultural history? Do Mennonites need to have the Draft? Would it make a difference on how they took a PEACE stance? Would service to others and to the world take on a new meaning if Mennonites were faced with War on their door step?

Remember that War is always on the Door Step. It happens everyday when a family tries to decide between Beans and Rice with Chicken or a Bread and Butter Sandwich. When the elderly skip a does of blood pressure medicine so they can try and stay in their house a bit longer. War is on the door step when there is abuse in the house. The war for energy independence. The war to protect the environment. The war on drugs drags on, and on. The drug addict who has lost all hope. The child who goes to bed on the floor because his family member is an alcoholic. The struggle between big business and financial markets and making it to the end of the month. Class wars continue. The war on terror and undocumented workers.

War is not a battle of bullets, money and borders but a war of decision. Every decision that is made influences the life of someone, do we as Mennonites address those issues or are we comfortable with the world view?

Update: Goshen College announced that it would review the anthem policy in June 2011.
