This week the company I work for panicked, did the stupid thing, and decided to layoff 40% of our staff, planning on moving most engineering operations to India. Yes, I'm one of the 2 million people losing their jobs in the last couple of months, but thankfully, I am cranking up my network of past managers and coworkers.

Also, I have my own website, BitWorks Music where you can help me out a bit by purchasing music made by an assortment of friends of mine, including yours truly. Catch me on the flip for more on BitWorks, a few brief job hunting tips, and .. puppies! OK, forget the puppies, but say yes to cool music!

Yesterday I announced the release of "War Song At High Noon", available for free download from my website, BitWorks Music.

Several of you took a chance on this 8th wonder of the musical world, but at this rate I will never hit the top 40. It may not be "Give Peace a Chance" or "Alice's Restaurant", but it's what we have for now.

What I would really like to see is a few comments with links to other recent antiwar or anti-shrub music, because otherwise this is just another lame diary, and we can't have that!

So: 1) download, 2) listen, 3) rec?

For your convenience, here are links to the mp3 or if you prefer, the streaming version here.

Take care, david

You can never have too many protest songs. I have released a new live recording of "War Song At High Noon" on BitWorks Music. Get the free mp3 download!
It's still legal as of this writing, but if we don't elect democrats this cycle, well, maybe we can share the same cell someday.

Hi all,

An "internet friend" of mine has a new "conservative" radio show. She is looking for a knowledgeable "green" person to answer questions on global warming on the show, which airs Tuesday evenings.

This is an excellent opportunity to make a real difference, as the audience is very conservative, with a lot of military folks listening.

As I have said before, we need to engage conservatives ALL THE TIME if we are to make progress.

Please contact me directly via email if you are interested.

Thanks,
david

Hi all,

For many months I have been posting my "screed" on a smallish conservative blog that has a heavy military and staunch conservative readership. My strong belief is that we need to engage conservatives constantly, particularly on the war(s), and on all other issues, everywhere they are spewing their crap.

Interested in slogging it out with the ignoramuses? Come on down!

Think Progress Reports New GOP Phishing Sleaze

My very first diary entry--could we have a round of applause?

This is from yesterday's Think Progress:

A story by Minnesota Public Radio reveals a disturbing new way that a political party is secretly grabbing sensitive personal information about voters.

Really? What political party do you suppose would do a sleazy thing like that?

This week the Minnesota Republican Party is distributing a new CD about a proposed state marriage amendment. Along with flashy graphics, the CD asks people their views on controversial issues such as abortion, gun control, illegal immigration, and so on. The problem - the CD sends your answers back to headquarters, filed by name, address, and political views. No mention of that in the terms of use. No privacy policy at all. The story concludes: "So if you run the CD in your personal computer, by the end of it, the Minnesota GOP will not only know what you think on particular issues, but also who you are."
