Biofuels bad?

I haven’t read the whole article but it’s got me a little worried.
I just found out about someone who is going to be making biofuels in Nashville which gets me really excited about finding a diesel car.

I think the article is talking more about the mass consumerism of it, specifically in Europe. Would it be possible to meet the mass demand with only recycled materials for the fuel (i.e. used vegetable oil, etc.)?

Read away and let me know what you think:

It’s hard to write when nobody is listening

So I’ve been sporadically writing in this blog (maybe that’s my problem) for a while now. Seems like I get a writing bug and then I lose it again. There could be some solution but I’m not sure what it is.

But when I stopped writing for a while no one dropped a line asking why I wasn’t writing. When I started posting there was no “missed reading your blog post” type comments.

I mean isn’t the whole point of blogging about interaction, communication, feedback? Guess we’re too busy for each other.

If your out there thanks, I appreciate you even in your silence.

firefox 1.5

Here it comes folks. I’ve been using firefox for a couple of years now and let me say there is NO going back. There are one million amazing things I could tell you about it, but you’ll just have to believe me and see for yourself.

Today they launched Firefox 1.5 and they are going to make a BIG marketing push, so you won’t just be hearing this from me. Be on the look out for some convincing arguements or just believe me and download it.

Social Awareness Saturdays

So, I had a good talk with a dude from the church I’ve been going to about the need for raising social awareness. I’d mentioned this before, but this time he was more interested in helping me make something happen. So I said give me some space and a Video Projector and I’ll do the rest.

I’m not much of a partyer on the weekends anyways, so I’m quite interested in the idea of doing a movie showing EVERY Saturday night (starting after Christmas I think), and having a discussion afterwards. I’m sure there are enough documentaries out there to keep us interested, but I need to start compiling a list so here goes nothing.

  • Sometimes in April
  • The Corporation
  • Farhenhiet 9/11 and Farenhype 9/11
  • Fog of War
  • Born into Brothels
  • Lost Boys of Sudan
  • The Take
  • Merchants of Cool
  • The Control Room
  • The Color of Fear
  • Walmart: The High Cost of Low Prices
  • Hugo Chavez documentary
  • I’m sure there’s tons more but that’s what I got right off the top of my head.
    Maybe some more fiction ones too.

T-shirts anyone?

So, listen up everyone: I’ve got about 200 t-shirts in my closet (new, not my old ones or anything), and I desperately want to get rid of them. I’m willing to give them away slowly if your nice.

The shirt designs are posted at: http://iamnotashamed.net and you can email me at ariah@iamnotashamed.net and let me know which ones you want.

If you want one I can ship it to you or you can just come get it from me. Honestly take these shirts please!
