Aftermath

From muh boy Cain's blog:

***********

Who are we?

Its safe to say that we are, first and foremost, people who think change is not only possible in this world, but a necessity. We have reached a cultural dead end, where any new values are either quietly co-opted to serve the needs of an elite, or as a false “choice” in a society that no longer understands the meaning of the word.

True change is not impossible, but it is deemed dangerous by those who benefit from the way things are now. Subversive and radical ideologies that fail to understand this are doomed to failure as they become part of a larger overall system within society. An idea may be revolutionary for its time, but within 10 years it will have been bastardized and sold on a t-shirt. They become, just like everything else, another resource to be exploited, a lifestyle choice instead of a choice of life.

In the past, we have often witnessed political revolutions, but rarely social ones. A revival of life, with meaning beyond shrill partisan screeching and the bottom line, must be advanced towards. A renaissance, if you will, of modern life. However, this can only arise through understanding of and discrediting the current system.

We are, above all else, neophiles. We seek an uncertain but better future over an unpleasant present. And there is no greater goal than that.

Hard Work

steady at it

ive been keeping my routine of being up at 6am and getting straight to work

things are looking up

i have myself submerged in CSS, XML and JavaScript right now, and i seem to be turning some sort of corner

back in the day, whenever i tried to learn any of this web scripting, the results were never the same as the instructions i was trying to follow

this may be due to my general lack of intelligence

but these days - everything is rolling out nicely

all this shit is making sense to me and i am starting to see some results

i am easing up on the Flash a little bit since we have intro to Flash coming up next semester (which starts May 7)

sooner rather than later i hope to be compiling some resources that will be useful to anybody else trying to learn these internet technologies

i still see value in keeping this blog going as i am in a development stage and would like to convey the results of my research to be useful to others
but
preparing articles to be viewed online takes more work than one would assume at first

as i believe i already detailed a few months ago



still grindin

Peace
