Britain to put picture warnings on all tobacco products

Britain to put picture warnings on all tobacco products

Cigarettes constitute one of the greatest threats to human health and welfare of all time. On a global scale, consider the damage to lungs, families, businesses, and the next generation's prospects. Cigarette smokers destroy so much more than their lungs.

The resources devoted to combating diseased lungs created by mindless addiction in our globalized, market embedded societies is staggering. I'll post figures here when I pass them on the Internet.

My oldest sister smoked herself to death as she totally denied the health hazards of smoking. She could hardly complete a sentence before she died. Oddly, she had no measurable signs of cancer until the week before she died, the week before she lost her mind. The cancer destroyed her brain cells, apparently quite quickly at the end.

If our government, our culture, will allow giant corporations to lie to us and help kill us for their bottom-line, what else are they willing to lie about?

Have you heard the history of women and smoking in the USA? Drop by again and I'll have it posted`

Celluon CL850 Laser Projector Keyboard!

As much as I gripe about the market embedded mind, I must still share some of the really neat stuff out there. Check this out, the Celluon laser keyboard. If I had $90 for another gadget I'd buy this baby in a flash!

Jim Motyl, software engineer, WMS Gaming:


After years of lugging around a laptop on business trips, I decided to lighten my load by getting an ultramobile PC. But the miniature computer lacked a proper keyboard, a serious disadvantage when working on the road. Still, I didn't want a full-size portable keyboard -- that's just one more thing to carry. The solution was this Korean laser projector, a Bluetooth device that connects to my UMPC (as well as to PDAs, cell phones, and other mobile devices) and shines a bright red "qwerty" keyboard on flat surfaces. It weighs slightly more than 4 ounces and is just 3.5 inches wide, so it fits inside my UMPC's case. The keys can be clearly seen in well-lit offices, restaurants, and practically every other environment except direct sunlight. Sensors pick up my finger movements about a quarter-inch above the surface, typing elicits keyboardlike clicks to signal that the sensors are doing their job, and placing a finger at the bottom of the keyboard activates the mouse function. All told, this device provides another welcome layer of mobility to my mobile computing.

Senator Pleads Guilty in Restroom Flap

How are we going to cleanup crime when the politicians continue as they always have?

<<"What's up with elected officials like Senator Craig? They stand for so-called family values and fight basic protections for gay people while furtively seeking other men for sex," Foreman said. >>

Medieval crucifix found in Austrian rubbish skip

I once had a philosophy teacher (Philosophies of Process) who took great glee in "one man's rubbish becoming another man's tool." He would have loved this story and I could not pass it up in case anyone else has an interest in this area.

If you did not read about it before, here it is.

Incidentally, my professor passed on before the end of the semester. I came to know him because of our mutual interest in George Herbert Mead, a philosopher I expect to explore here at a later date.

I wrote a piece on training and shooting behavior within the last month. I suppose that's enough for this blog for the time. Tap here for the previous blog piece.
