Now has a draft “first run” page that loads with each version update.

We sorely need a comprehensive Developer Extension for Google Chrome. I was very happy to see that Chris Pederick is working on one. Check out his screenshot.

Interface changes:

• Changed the Toolbar Icon.
• Toolbar Button gets automatically added to the browser interface.

I also figured out the Firefox add-on update mechanism with the help of Jonah Bishop’s borngeek.com.

I’m now trying to figure out how to build a Javascript XPCOM on Windows and decside on how to structure and persist the app data. Should I keep a large XML structure in a local file or move to SqlLite tables by requiring the user to have Google Gears plug-in?

Activenotes Stream Manager

So I’m working on a new project at activenotes.com. I hope to iterate through this fairly quickly and get a useful application. The idea is to keep track of the ever expanding media stream and allow you to cut through data overload.

This is a bit long but worth a read if you still have doubts on Governor Sarah Palin’s intellectual grasp of world affairs.

A great ‘common sense’ conservative perspective from a post on Sarah Palin’s Facebook page.

On China: …we engage with the hope Beijing becomes a responsible stakeholder, but we must takes steps in the event it does not.

Our fiscal policy, lately, seems to be “tax, spend, borrow, tax some more, repeat” and then complain about how much debt China holds. America needs to gets its own fiscal house in order.

On free trade: …our largest free trade agreement ever in Asia with South Korea sits frozen in the Congress.

On America: …Never has the leadership of our government ever been more critical to keeping my country, and the world, on a path to openness, growth and opportunity in global trade and investment.

We’re not interested in government fixes; we’re interested in freedom! Freedom! Our vision is forward looking. People may be frustrated now, but we’re very hopeful too.

And, after all, why shouldn’t we be? We’re Americans. We’re always hopeful.

I guess she does read some newspapers… that’s strange, the MSM told me she’s a know nothing?!

Moshe Feiglin speaks real truth to power in his heartfelt response to President Obama throwing Israel under the bus.

I don’t connect with all the religious aspects of the video but the clear vision of history and ongoing purpose are powerful. Obama is clearly waving the white flag and joining the enemies of Israel.

Tax tyranny can exist when members of one group are singled out to pay a disproportionate share of the tax because of their religion, ethnic group, gender or other circumstance. Nowadays, this is most often seen in government abusing the idea of progressive tax rates. For instance, in the United States, the top 1 percent of the taxpayers pay 40 percent of the income tax, yet they have only 21 percent of the income. At the same time, the bottom 50 percent of the taxpayers pay only 3 percent of the tax while having 12 percent of the income.

Some politicians want to further increase the tax burden on the top 1 percent while reducing and even eliminating the tax all together on the bottom 50 percent.

When a majority shifts almost all of the tax burden to a small minority who must pay a grossly disproportionate share of their income, it smacks of tax tyranny. Two-dozen countries, many of whose citizens have suffered under the tyranny of communism, have instituted “flat taxes” to avoid this form of tax tyranny.
