5-8-11: Cheap reads for Kindle owners

All my books too are 99 centers. And I've published a few more since last posting here. Namely, Dark Horse: The Official Shadowfast Supercar Technical Reference, and the first two books of my science fiction series The Chance of a Realtime, A Shock to the System and Meeting of the Minds.

12-24-10: Long time, no updates! But here's some just in time for Christmas 2010

That Kindle should help me with my latest venture: publishing my supercar stories as Kindle ebooks. As of today, I've got four in the Amazon store: Sirens, Necessary Ends, Deep in the Throat of Texas, and Driving Needs. I've been surprised by how many readers seem to have found the ebooks lots more convenient to read than the web pages. Maybe you will too!

As usual when I solve a problem (or learn something new about making money online), I've written up a page to help my site visitors do the same too:

How to make your own Amazon Kindle ebook in just hours CHEAT SHEET v1.0

I hope you find it useful!

Pulling the tiger's tail is basically a very brief recollection of some of the teenage vandalism Steve and I were guilty of in our earliest days together.

The End-- and Clifford Dunburton is a science fiction tale with just the slightest bit of Lovecraftian eldritch horror added to it.

To spice it up a bit, I've added certain references which might make the scenario described seem all too plausible to readers. I hope you like it!

5-31-09: Obama's possible North Korea surprise-- and overreach

What followed would be a joint invasion of North Korea by both South Korean and US forces in a 'mop up' exercise (assuming the early strikes achieve their goals).

The main sticking point here (beyond the obvious and huge military gamble) would be China. But China might just be ready for a newly unified Korea, and to rid itself of the myriad of problems posed by the continuing existence of the old NK dynasty.

Especially if one consequence was a complete pullout of US troops from Korea soon afterwards.

If somehow Obama could plan all this with the full cooperation of SK, Japan, and China, it might just work. But it'd be one of the biggest gambles taken by a US President in decades. If he tried and failed, it could be catastrophic for SK-- and maybe hurt Japan significantly too.

10-4-08: Sarah Palin just messed with Texas

Many Texans don't think of their state the same way we other Americans may think of our own. This is reflected in the exclamation "Don't mess with Texas!", as well as other items.

Although McCain's kept Sarah Palin on the tightest leash of any VP candidate in history for what are now obvious reasons (like the first ABC and CBS interviews), no containment measure can be perfect.

And so Sarah Palin came out and called Texas a "little sister state" to Alaska.

OOPS!

Although the Texas newspaper(s) which initially reported this seemed to have hastily scrubbed it from their web sites almost immediately afterwards, it was too late: the words were already out of her mouth and in the media ether.

I suspect a panicked McCain campaign immediately launched a huge effort to collect and destroy any videos which might exist of Palin mouthing the words, as well.

But as of Saturday morning, there were already about a quarter million result hits on Google for the quote.

It is good to be visiting here in Alaska's little sister state Texas - Google Search (already 242,000 results as of 10-4-08)

So what? you might ask. It doesn't sound like anything special to me.

Well, you're probably not a Texan, either.

Is it possible Palin's comment will turn deep-red Texas blue in the election? Well, Texas (like my native Tennesee) can usually be taken for granted by Republicans in elections.

But as I said before, Texans are a different breed from other state natives, in how they view their own state. So it'd be a very Texan thing to do, to shock the hell out of the GOP, and vote for Obama.

Especially after being told their state was little sister to Alaska.

Texas is nobody's little sister. Or little brother. Or little, PERIOD.

And come election day, they might just decide to show McCain-Palin how big Texas really is.

5-6-08: 3rdmilieux.com and protecting yourself online

3rdmilieux.com is meant to accomplish several different things, one being to serve a special e-commerce role for all my sites, by hosting pages created through offers like Make a name for yourself online! and Your future as legend begins here!

Another purpose for 3rdmilieux.com is to house projects and efforts not really suitable for jrmooneyham.com or jmooneyham.com. Such as possibly an interactive, online version of Pathfinder at some point (at the moment only the static text of the application resides there).

Yet another thing 3rdmilieux.com may do is offer a stronger focus on the cutting or bleeding edge of technology and the future.

Yes, I know jrmooneyham.com already hosts my speculative future history timeline-- but that's basically a reference book for all things future-- as well as past (with its perspective supplements regarding yesteryear). More of an encyclopedia, rather than a newspaper or blog.

3rdmilieux.com will expand upon all that with contemporary technology how-tos and trends, hopefully more readily adapted for personal use than such things found elsewhere among my pages. Like Turnabout is fair play-- How you can turn the tables on government, corporate, and private spies and censors, both online and off.

The sight of Hell through rose-colored glasses doesn't improve the view for me! is my latest rant there, regarding the snake oil salesman of futurism. Previous entries have included Omens of calamities to come and Coming medical miracles.

I hope you like it!

9-3-07: America has a black hole where its heart should be

The corporate titans actually profit two different ways from this never-ending war footing. One, they make obscene profits selling ever fancier weapons systems and related gear to the government. Two, they make bigger profits in the healthcare industry than is allowed or accepted in any other nation on Earth (but for possibly third world countries and banana republics), since only the US among otherwise modern nations offers no universal healthcare for its citizens.

And why doesn't America provide universal healthcare? The corporate-owned media and politicians tell us it's because we need to stay on a constant war footing, spending half a trillion dollars per year or more, to battle ever smaller and tinier and harder-to-find villains, who apparently now live in caves in the wilderness...

And enough Americans accept this argument to allow our government to continue pouring all our universal healthcare money (and other funds) down the military drain.
