It is ridiculous to me in this day and age that SOPA and PIPA has gotten as far as it has.

If SOPA and/or PIPA pass as is, censorship would occur.    It will slow down development and inovations that our economy needs to grow and survive.     The timing is also very bad.

Those who support it say things that sound good.  Let’s stop piracy.   That is good.   If something is done illegally then it should be dealt with.    The problem is that SOPA will cause innocent sites to be shut down for doing nothing wrong.    It really will not even do what it is intended to do.   The real bad guys can get around it.

It seems to me that it will also allow companies to have their competition easily caught up in issues that could lead to their demise when they had not done anything wrong.    Piracy needs to be addressed.    Laws that are already in place needs to be enforced.

If SOPA had been inacted a decade ago, the web would be very different today.   It would suck.   If you support SOPA, you do not understand what it can do to site owners that have done nothing wrong.

2012 is here!  2012 will be the most important year for social media ever in history.   With the evolution of many sites such as Facebook and the upcoming changes to Twitter and other sites.  We do not only visit these sites, they have become part of our daily lives.   While some do this for fun, more and more are doing it to increase business and truly interact with their friends and family.    Applications like Spotify are making even the music industry a part of the social media industry.   We have not seen anything yet.    Social media is here to stay.   You cannot beat it.  So join it.

I am digging that Spirit Halloween has started doing a series of funny Halloween viral videos this year.

Check out:

I am so excited that Halloween season is here!   YEAH!  I love HALLOWEEN !!!

 

There are much better props coming out this year than ever before.   Some really cool costumes too.

 

Home haunters are coming out with movie quality stuff.

Spirit Halloween has also stepped up this year with everything.  They ship worldwide now, they have more big props.   I can’t wait to get my new stuff.

This will be the best season EVER!

Mark Zuckerberg made an announcement today that Skype will be rolled out and easily used within the Facebook interface.   This is not completely shocking.  However I do think that this may be one of the next big steps in social media.

It should be very interesting to see how quickly it catches on.

It is July 4th already!   Wow.   Happy Independence Day!

This is a fantastic country and no matter how bad things are right now, we should feel blessed for all that we have.

I recently saw a news story where the anual income in Yemen is $1,000 per year.  This is not a lot of money.

God bless America.     Happy fourth of July everyone!

Gee.    Everybody still seems to be here after the May 21 end of the world or rapture or judgment day.

Anybody surprised?   Really?   Anybody?

For those of you that think the end of the world is May 21, would you please schedule all of your money to be sent to me on May 22?

Why not?   Don’t you believe it enough?

It is amazing that Halloween 2011 is in almost less than 200 days!  Some people are saying that it is too early to start thinking about Halloween.   Wrong!

Many home haunters start planning even before the end of the current season (pretty much always planning).

I am curious to see what new props and costumes will be coming out for the year.    Both store purchased at stores like Spirit Halloween and homemade props are getting movie quality!   I love it.      Makes you want to look into the future of what would be possible in the coming 5 years.

I hope to start posting the best of the best as the season progresses.
