Score another point for the Internet!

The Internet , we ought to remember, is good for more than just posting fan fiction and downloading music illegally. It's good for things like getting information out to the people who really need it, without the filters of "regular" media or politicians. Remember, when you hear a news organization reporting on what a politician says, you're twice removed from the source of the information -- you're getting the newscaster's version of the politician's version of the truth.So a website like the holodomor information site that was posted to bring attention to how Ukrainian politicians are using an old famine to support their political views could be a breath of fresh air -- an opportunity for people whose viewpoints are not being heard in the media, or whose viewpoints are being misrepresented in the media, to fight back and air their own facts and opinions.And it works, too, because until today, I'd never heard of holodomor (or, as it was formerly called, the golodomor) and th...

He wanted to get there before Click Boy.He was still afraid of Click Boy. He knew what he had to do and feared that he could not do it if Click Boy was there.He had seen Click Boy exactly three times so far.The first was just down the hall from his quarters. He had come out of his door, he had been intending to try to do something, anything, to feel as though he was not falling apart, and he had seen Click Boy out of the corner of his eye. By then he had become more familiar with the ghosts, not comfortable with them, not by any means, but at least he recognized them and knew them and saw some of them around. This was, too, before he?d known why the ghosts were here, why they were seeking him out. Why they wanted to touch him. This, the first time he?d seen Click Boy, was when he was still trying to figure out why the ghosts were here.And even though he was familiar with the ghosts, even though he was not afraid of them and did not know yet why they were there, he had turned a...

Lord, help these tormented souls. Help me. Then he closed the door. Then he opened it again, and looked at them.?Clear a way, please,? he said, and they backed up a little. His mouth was dry, his voice cracking a little. He stepped out into the hallway and looked left, and looked right. More ghosts, either way, standing there, mouths closed, eyes downcast, at first, but looking up as he came out.He turned to his right. There were two ghosts there, and a few more beyond him. The closest to him looked at him, a young lady, maybe 30, she would have been pretty if she wasn?t so bedraggled. She held up her hand and reached towards him. She was wet, dripping wet, the ghostly drops of water falling from her and disappearing into thin air. ?Please, let me through,? he said. He met her eyes. He saw in her eyes a river, rushing water, rapids, foaming and cold, with ice chunks hitting rocks and smashing into smaller ice chunks. He shivered. She opened her mouth and he heard the so...

Data Thieves Are Everywhere -- even right there! (Made you look.)
2008-12-16 19:30:00
I spent most of last Friday in a seminar learning about the many many ways that people could get information from me without my even knowing I was giving it to them -- learning about "metadata" and "phishing" and the rest of the perils of the electronic age. Working in an area -- law -- that depends on privileges and which gives me access to confidential information and secrets, I got concerned about the level of protection I have, versus the level of protection I need.Which led me, then, to PGP. PGP makes file encryption software -- encryption being a fancy word for "code," which is a way of keeping secrets from other people. PGP has encryption software that can help with email encryption, or can set up hard drive encryption , or protect you from spies on your mobile devices -- and protect you if your cell phone or laptop or Blackberry is lost or stolen.They've got a program called PGP Netshare, which allows a whole network to be encrypted so that a team can share documents wit...

Welcome a new AfterDark Reader!
2008-12-14 16:19:00
I'm somewhat remiss in keeping up with fans and readers, and I'm trying to remedy that, so if you read my stuff and would like to be welcomed, too, let me know via a comment or email to "thetroublewithroy[at]yahoo.com." I appreciate you reading and sharing and like to return the favors -- I read constantly and read more blogs and books and emails and sites than you could imagine, and I make a special effort to read the stuff that's written by the people who read the stuff I've written.Got all that? With that, I'd like to welcome an AfterDark reader, "Mind of Bryan." "Mind of Bryan" lists his occupation as rubricator, which is apparently someone who rubrics. (No, I'm not kidding.) But "Mind of Bryan" is one of those people whose creativity and work ethic leave me feeling tired just thinking about it. He writes fiction, comics, films and blogs. He's a comedian, musician and editor. He does podcasts. He wrote a book of base scales and is writing one about setting up mus...

Now, he had nothing he could do to sleep at night. He sat in bed and felt the burns and boils and scars on his back and shoulders. He heard them, out there in the hallway, occasionally opening up their mouths and talking. They did not come into his bedroom, so far as he knew. He had never seen them in here. He had taken to closing the door and locking it. But they were ghosts. They could come in here if they wanted to, he knew. He didn?t know what it was that kept them out of the room.But he couldn?t sleep anymore. He couldn?t lose the fear that they would come through the door, that they would become less polite, less respectful to him. The Hot Man had scared him because it seemed premeditated. In the two days since then, he had called in sick, difficult to do when the office workers were just in the other part of the church complex. He had stayed in his room, though, had called down and lied? again? and said that he was terribly ill and didn?t want them to catch it.?M...

Fix It, America: Let's Go To College.

"Shame On America Sunday" is no more; I'm proud of America for doing the right thing and electing Obama, and have opted instead to try to become more positive, so we'll go with "Fix It, America" from now on.Without a college education, you can't get very far at all these days.With a college education, you can get far enough in life to be able to pay for that college education.That's the dilemma that faces most kids who are graduating from high school these days. Like the parents that work to avoid daycare, or the kid who works to pay off the car he uses to get to his job, high school graduates are confronted with the need to go to college in order to get a job to pay for the college they attended.Leave aside private schools; those who (unnecessarily) go to private schools may be left aside for the moment. This is about publicly owned schools, those state universities that are the college destination of both choice and necessity for most high school graduates.According to Colle...

His efforts at calling God in, if that is what he was doing -- or of blocking me through something holy -- failed.I leaped at him. I tensed my legs, which were mostly bone by then, and I splayed my horrible hands and I leaped at him and crashed onto him.I did not even knock him over. I weighed almost nothing when alive, or during my life before the first time I almost went to Hell. I was tall but slender and lithe. After that time, as I slowly grew more and more... stretched, and taut, and near-death, I weighed less and less. One must have flesh to have weight, and I had precious little of that.A few strands of my hair that were still long, but entirely colorless, fell on his forehead, and I had my bony claw-like hands at his throat and my face was open and I leaned in and looked into his eyes. I was so close... so close to biting him, to plucking out his eyeballs and eating them, and I needed the strength.I stopped, though. I did not need to eat him. I did not need to knock...

Shame On America Sunday: Cindy McCain Edition
2008-09-07 19:31:00
I came to a realization this morning, a realization that cemented my resolve to, every Sunday , highlight one way in which America is letting us down -- allowing some people to live selfish lives at the expense of others, when there is more than enough wealth in America to allow everyone to live a decent life.The realization was this: I subscribe to Newsweek magazine, and read it pretty much cover to cover every week. Despite that, and despite reading our daily paper, and despite listening to news-talk all day at work and watching CNN Headline News while I get ready for work, I had no idea what Barack Obama's health plan was when I wrote the first Shame On America Sunday a few weeks ago. Not through a lack of trying -- like I said, I keep up with the news pretty well. But the news isn't keeping up with the news. The news is focused on things like (from a recent Newsweek) stories about how often Joe Biden says "literally" in his speeches.That's why Shame on America Sunday is n...

I try not to be too political or topical or, frankly, angry, on my blogs. I try that in part because there are people whose job it is to be political and topical, people who pay attention to politics and business and other news that in theory qualifies them to talk about politics and business; I mostly pay attention to what's on my iPod and comic books.But I can't help it; I've boiled over and I can't contain it anymore, and the people whose job it is to be political and topical -- the politicians and editorial writers and reporters and other people who are supposed to be doing something good for the world -- are fiddling while Rome burns. They are fretting over flag pins and medal counts at the Olympics while the United States of America , the greatest country ever embodying the greatest concepts of the human race-- slowly rots from the inside.And I can't stand it anymore.

I did not cower.I did not bow before it.I did not cry or scream or yell nooooooooo or do any of those things that someone might when confronted with the essence of evil.For one, I did not, because I was too amazed at its appearance. It is still, these decades later, hard for me to describe how Mephistopheles appeared. That beam of light held a form, a not-human form. It was not like an angel or like any creature, living or dead. At the moment when I first beheld Mephistopheles, I realized how wrong all along people had been to think that angels or demons would ever look even remotely like men and women. The minions, I knew, looked like nothing we could picture, and that was their horror.Mephistopheles, too, looked like nothing we could picture and nothing we can describe. It was when I saw it, too, that I realized the ultimate punishment and the ultimate horror of Hell, the purest form of evil destroying the will and spirit of the living, and that was this:Mephistopheles was b...

In the past ten years, I have slowly risen up the corporate ladder to a position that involves a great deal of money, power and influence... as you can tell from the nearly 10 hours of blogging I do everyday.Okay, so my job is not in the slightest stressful. Or at least not in the usual sense; it's stressful in the sense that it's very difficult to keep coming up with dumb joke after dumb joke while constantly being interrupted by people that think I'm in the office to "work." Plus, as everyone who spends more than ten seconds with me can attest, I have a lot of kids, and kids are synonymous with stress.I've tried a variety of ways, over the years, of coping with stress, methods that ranged from "eating lots of BBQ Fritos" to "eating lots of Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch" and even "eating BBQ Fritos mixed with Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch."That last one actually caused stress.It turns out, though, that those are not healthy ways of coping with stress.

Super Easy. Super Smart. Super Available: Business Credit For You!
2008-08-14 17:55:00
Everyone thinks there's a "credit crunch" going on, but everybody's wrong. While there are some lenders and borrowers who are experiencing hard times (or not-as-easy times), there are other lending areas that haven't suffered any downturns. Areas like Business Credit .Business credit hasn't suffered the same problems that consumer credit has, maybe because business credit is based on different standards than consumer credit. Business credit pays attention to income and assets and things like that, and less emphasis might be given to individual credit scores while more attention is given to how healthy the business is.How does that impact you? Simple-- if you're a business operator and you've been trying for credit as an individual, STOP! Start trying for credit as a business and take advantage of lenders' willingness to make business loans.Or, consider starting a business, using credit instead of savings -- with business credit more freely available, you could open up a ...

Back in the 80s, the days of spiked hair, upturned collars, and Docksiders, we used to cruise around in Bob's old white Impala, looking for something to do or at least some chicks to hang out with (and hopefully... "date.")Our pickup line? Hey, you chicks wanna do something?It wasn't classic, but at least it wasn't completely lame. We were completely lame, but our pickup line was just... pleh. Boring. Not so charming that the girls would overlook our Impala, our nerdiness, and our lack of money. But not so lame that they'd laugh at the line and drive off in Daddy's car, either.Based on that, it's probably a good thing for me that I'm far too old (and too married!) to take part in the Ultimate Flirting Championship being sponsored by Extreme Style by VO5.

A little bit of poetry in the title there, right? That's the grabber to get you in to start reading about Goldyn's great new clothing site.I'm a guy. That means my idea of fashion is to wear my "fancy" t-shirt with the jeans that are on top of the pile. The ladies, I can see from this site, have a different idea about high fashion, and I have to admit it looks nice. They've got some great looking dresses and shoes and outfits over there. True, most of it is lost on me because, like I said... guy. T-shirts. But I know nice things when I see them, and they've got them.To help me out, though, I enlisted Sweetie and the girls and they loved this site. They explained to me that the ability to get clothing from hot designers like Diabless and Charlotte Ronson and Andrea Brueckner is a good thing, and the prices are way, way better than you'd expect.I didn't know that.

Everyone tries to sell their car through the classifieds, but there's two problems with doing that: the buyer can't tell whether the car's any good until he gets there, and you have to pay to run the ad.Listasaurus has in one fell swoop rectified both of those problems with their video classifieds: They'll pay you to run your video classified ad on their service, so not only do you make some moola, but you also have a better chance of actually selling that hot rod your wife made you get rid of.Rather than run an ad in the paper saying something like Car runs great $4000 obo, you can whip out a video where you walk all around the car, showing it from all angles and highlighting the cheetah-print seats. Then you can hop in and rev the ol' engine and take the would-be buyer for a virtual spin. That way, guys like me, whose wives let us have hot cars, can see that video, know the car runs and it looks great, and will come buy it. I don't want to waste half my Saturday coming t...
