Why wasn't I shocked to see a twelve year old boy plowing a field yesterday? Maybe I was shocked. Or maybe what I was shocked by was how normal it felt to see something like that. We drove through the farmland of The Plains People yesterday. A boy was guiding four majestic horses towing a … Continue reading Plain Wonder

Flight Worries And Milestones
Another flight to the new country in the morning. Here's a link to an article regarding the same flight I'll use to return to the old country in about a month--as long as THEY get the landing gear fixed. My only worry is that I too will have to circle around the Delaware Valley for … Continue reading Flight Worries And Milestones
Creamed
If the Corporation is milk then there is proof that butterfat doesn't always rise to the top to give us... (guess how this ends)
Digging Wrong Holes
Buy books at a bookstore? Wait. Let me check my calender. Na. I'm good. The thing is, I've gone full digital as of 2014. Took me a lot of years to get here. Of course, the good or bad thing is, I can even remember the last time I went into a bookstore and bought a … Continue reading Digging Wrong Holes
Ronald McDonald Meets The Amazon
Bezos gave away a children's book to the audience to accompany intro of new smart phone. So. Like. Does that mean he's trying to get the kids hooked like a certain fast-food seller did with a clown? Nomatter. New phone looks great, very impressed with evolving eco-system Amazon products are connected to. But there is … Continue reading Ronald McDonald Meets The Amazon
Ersatzbesatzungkinder
Literally cut the chord this year. No. Seriously. I cut the cable chord to my TV in February. Or was it March? Nomatter. Even though I have an extra chord in a box somewhere, I'm keeping the TV disconnected. For me, the TV is now just a screen. A screen for my little hockey-puck box … Continue reading Ersatzbesatzungkinder
Captivate This
The Martian by Andy Weir. One of them books, dear worst-reader. Struck me hard. Kept hearing about it via various podcasts, twit.tv, and most recently a little bird speckled in red that flew by my work-window singing: you'd better get to this now because it's a wanna-be tech-geeks dream. Of course. I didn't believe the bird--nor did … Continue reading Captivate This
Soap & Presidents
Still waiting. But. Will someone come along and replace him? Can't wait. Waiting is futile. Move on. I guess. http://youtu.be/z2hEMggPBmo
Who Taught The H-Word
There you have it. Less than sixty-thousand voters in the rural-bourgeois south are waking up to the inalienable right(s) of life, liberty and stupidity. They vote-out an incumbent that only a few years ago they loved--when their bank accounts reflected better the lust for debt and false ideology--and vote-in a guy that's probably two-steps worse. Oh well. The only surprise … Continue reading Who Taught The H-Word
Is This Huge
NSA spying? Privacy? Digital footprint? Why isn't this being covered more? Is there any other hardware maker that has ever offered something like this? It is in its infancy but the more I worst-think about it the more worst-baffled I get. Apple is offering a way to protect your privacy by randomly generating identifier codes (MAC … Continue reading Is This Huge
If He Blogged
Day Out of Days: Stories - by Sam Shepard Should forever immagine the Lands further off are Still better than those upon which they are already settled... (-errors and/or typos from original text) Took a break (from) reading this book the other day. It was one of them rare, early hot summer days in Germania. … Continue reading If He Blogged
What? I Wanna Edumacated.
About time, dear worst-reader. About time someone step-in and finally let Das Volk know that getting an edumacation ain't about getting a job and making munny. No. Indeed. It's about filling the gap/chasm of never having to grow up and being raised by those who never grew up before you. And while you're at it, … Continue reading What? I Wanna Edumacated.
Boom Your Controversy
Hard earned PBS underwritten funding paying off. And a bit shocked about how much time the producers of the videos that are connected to the link below spend on Google and FB. Almost get the feeling that the ill-doings of fear-mongering, The Patriot Act and the resulting behaviour of various smiley-face government agencies isn't what the "discussion" … Continue reading Boom Your Controversy
Watch A Painter Paint
Actually. Should have titled her "Read A Painter Paint". Nomatter. Beware dear worst-reader. For there are books and there are books--well written. And then there is writing brilliance that shines above them all. But does that brilliance always motivate to read-on? Oh, how reading such well written books used to hurt. That was before I … Continue reading Watch A Painter Paint
Out With The Old In With The…
In one of my old (analog) folders are twenty-eight and a half rejection letters from various publishers. I am so thankful to these publishers. From them I learned to embrace my inner worst-writer. Does that mean I should hate them? Of course not. Am I now prepared to move on? Big NO there, too. Should I reject Amazon for … Continue reading Out With The Old In With The…
Creeps R Us
Just read this article dear worst-reader. And guess what? I'm more confused than ever. But I suppose being a fifty year old male in a perpetual state of forced early retirement made up of über-happiness where I live off the achievements of females who are much better at coping with this alpha world than I am--being confused is kinda OK. … Continue reading Creeps R Us
Automaton Demise Eminent
Oh look. Eurowasteland, under the führung from Germania and whatever random Munich trade-fair, is trying to bring some innovation to the continent. And how do they propose to do this? They choose what the Chinese have chosen so that the world can have tech products made with slave labor. Wait. That's not exactly right. Nomatter. … Continue reading Automaton Demise Eminent
Brake Driving
There are two (more) things today to say about driving on the Autobahn. Well, actually, there are a lot more things to be said but I don't feel like typing so much this morn. For example. If you ever want to know how Germany works, you know, as a way to figure out why such … Continue reading Brake Driving
How To Carry A Gun
What struck me was the moment in the vid (at around 24:00) where Bob Bergdahl is walking while carrying a rifle. As he approaches the camera and then passes it he changes the way he carries the rifle. I can only assume that he does this because of the responsible way he learned how to handle … Continue reading How To Carry A Gun
How To Be King
How do you become king? Who picks you? What grants you the right? Nomatter. Half of Eurowastelands problems could be addressed (not solved, of course) by getting rid of the useless that claim thrones. But then again. It's 2014. That monarchs still exist says it all. Spain's King Juan Carlos To Abdicate After 40 Years On … Continue reading How To Be King
Obsoletism 101
Even though worst-writer knows they're coming, he's relieved there were no hardware announcements at today's WWDC14, Apple's developer conference. Reason? I dread all Apple announcements because they are only another indication that the krapp I've bought so-far is that much closer to what Apple does best: making krapp obsolete. Sure. In a day or three or maybe in a … Continue reading Obsoletism 101
Know Known Knows Unknown
Don't forget to watch the vid to the link below. There might just be a few wows in there--especially when its admitted that Dubya committed war crimes. But I'm sure we all knew that, or? Otherwise you can buy the novel this guy wrote to accompany his story-telling about govt. service and such. (Sarcasm off.) Ex-Counterterrorism … Continue reading Know Known Knows Unknown
Up Till The End
He does a great job up till the end. Because. There's no need to ask the apathetic to do anything. For if they did do anything. Then there wouldn't be apathy. Or something like that. http://youtu.be/fpbOEoRrHyU
Snow(den) Ball Effect
conspiracy theory noun 1) a belief that some covert but influential organization is responsible for an unexplained event 2) a royally fucked up society produces individuals who cannot face reality and thereby turn to other means to deal with their inability to comprehend As worst-stated here and here, worst-writer is torn on the Snowden issue.

Stewards Of Indecision
Duality. Dichotomy. Right and wrong. Black and white. Good and bad. Which do you pick when consumerism has mixed the boundaries? Whether in politics or music, the masses are given a choice. And look what so many choose. Rock on Jack White. News | Jack White | Jack White III.
