This is a test post, I\’m testing out the jott.com service. Jott basically turns your phone voice messages into text it allows you to type them just about anywhere on command, in this case to a blog post. listen\r\n\r\nPowered by Jott

UPDATE: Bleah! That worked out pretty well, I suppose, but not as well as I had hoped. For one thing, I said “pipe”, not “type”.

While I’m not sure that I’ll definitely find it useful, I’ve been persuaded to try Twitter. Those interested can follow me there[RSS] or get a consolidated activity feed[Atom].

I upgraded to Wordpress 2.5, switched themes and fixed the comments. You are now free to move about the cabin blog.

I was just tickled by my friend Freeman’s post a while back on grey market food supply, including an informal “bread club”. I’ll now be adding the recently discovered Kansas City Food Circle to my blogroll.

“Farmers, are you wondering how to get a successful CSA (community supported agriculture organization) started? Eaters, do you wish there were more CSA’s available so you don’t have to be put on a waiting list to eat the freshest produce in town? In order to help meet the present and future demand for CSA’s in the Kansas City area, a coalition is being formed to grow CSA’s in KC.”

This is far more than just dietary snobbery and hippy-dippy, organic fun and games, folks. A dollar collapse is becoming increasingly likely. Support local agriculture.

I’ve added a captcha form for user registration on the freedomSLUT bookmarking site. Here’s hoping that will help with the spam issue.

Give it up! Tor’s Rants is in the house!

Let’s all give some link love to The Superfluous Man — blog home of John Markley, “libertarian, journalist, geek.”

Remember folks — solidarity doesn’t just sound good, it’s a great Pagerank strategy.

For those who’ve been wondering where I’ve been the past few days, I’ve been going nuts trying to deal with an emergency server move and providing user support as best I could under the circumstances. My business life is in an upheaval accordingly, but the future looks arguably bright — I just need to get everything done all at once and it has had me overwhelmed.

As I had to restore this site from a backup, my latest posts are missing, but I dug them out of browser cache and will summarize here.

• Immigration Protests — Immigrants are, by and large, brave people who recognize the wisdom in crossing the state’s silly imaginary lines, so-called “borders”, when their family’s future depends on it. Oppression, up to and including the prospect of being kidnapped by the state at any time, has been their lot for far to long. I have a great deal of sympathy for immigrants and find the recent willingness of so many of them to stand up to increasing oppression absolutely inspiring. Breathtakingly so. I salute them and second Adem Kupi’s declaration of solidarity.
• Environmental Issues — Don’t miss Thomas L. Knapp’s posting of excerpts from the DAGGER manifesto over at the ISIL environmental channel: Question Earthority!.
• Roderick Long’s Rothbard Memorial Lecture at the Austrian Scholar’s Conference — I’m incredibly honored to have been named and quoted in Roderick Long’s Rothbard Memorial Lecture at the Mises Institute’s Austrian Scholars Conference, “Rothbard’s ‘Left and Right’: 40 Years Later” [mp3] — in his concluding remarks, no less. Long’s lecture has crucial implications for the future of the libertarian movement and, therefore, of the world and all humanity. Listen.

Stefan Molyneux has a new home for his fascinating podcast. While Stefan is an outstanding advocate for a stateless society, which is how I came to know of him, he covers a wide range of topics beyond just politics. Check out Freedomain Radio.
