Innovations in Internet Technology are the focus of Blake Hall's Day 685 entry over on THE 800 DAYS blog. In particular, a worry that the internet is running out of email addresses seems to have put Blake into tech-hunt mode.
Tech-hunt mode - a hunt to find out about new technology - namely for the problem of the internet running out of email addresses!
Actually - I never thought I would even hear of such a thing - but then I read some information on the news sites saying that millions of brand new internet users log on and create new accounts every single day and this count has been high like this for almost a decade... I'm not sure if what I've read is completely accurate but if the numbers are even half what is stated - WOW - there are tons and tons of email addresses and webspace being used up.
Luckily, Blake has been digging up some information which says that expert tech people have already been working on this problem for a long time and have a way to introduce a new technology/format for the internet that will allow for 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 unique addresses...
Oh, there are all those numbers again... but I'm not going to let all those numbers bother me at all today.
The important thing is that this new technology is going to be ready to go and large networks can start switching over to this new format, called IPv6 anytime.
There are more details on dates (when IPv6 will have a test run, etc) over in Blake's article on the blog.
The Day 685 article is about new internet technology called IPv6, and is associated with Friday February 4 2011.

Day 686 (Tidbits)
It was hard for me to wrap my head around the content on Day 686 of the ongoing THE 800 DAYS blog. This is only because Day 686 involves HARD SCIENCE and I'm admittedly a pseudo-science geek, and also a social science fan. Hard Science experimentation, data and numbers are things I can manage but tend to shy away from as I like feelings, people, mystical ideas much more than numbers and hard absolutes.
Mind you - I think we're finding out in this day and age that our trust in Hard Sciences is misplaces, are we not? I mean - even quantum physics fields are starting to show us that our concept of time and space as linear or even "clockwork" things - is all WRONG!
Eh... goin' off on a tangent now - and bringing the topic around to things I like more (trashing hard sciences? lol), which isn't very respectful to our Blake Hall and his 800 Days Project/Blog - so I will get back to the topic Blake wrote about over on his blog...
Wow, Blake discloses that the Hubble Space Telescope is celebrating its 20th Anniversary of operation! I suppose I've taken this item for granted as the telescope has been in existence for most of the period of my life whereby I've understood what the huge machine actually is! I was a young adult when this scientific gadget was unveiled and shown to the world...but now, Blake has put out an info-article telling that NASA is reporting the Hubble Telescope has recently found something quite amazing...
No, it's not a star... not a satelitte, nor is it a new planet...
It's a WHOLE (freakin') GALAXY that Hubble Telescope has just been able to catch in its view - around January 26th, Blake reports that NASA made a statement about this...
Now here's why all this stuff gets EASY for me to shy away from... (think "numbers)
They have called this new Galaxy the following: UDFy-38135539 (according to NASA). Now how on Earth (or How in the Universe?) am I ever going to remember that galaxy or identify if THAT newly found galaxy is the one people are talking about? To heck with that, I'm going to call it by my OWN name and I deem the new UDFy-38135539 galaxy is now called...
Kat Vale Galaxy 01 (01, just in case they find another one close to it... then Kat Vale Galaxy can have a twin with the suffix "02" tacked on).
I think Blake's details over on THE 800 DAYS blog sound infinitely more scientific than my review, so GO READ THE BLOG!
The Day 686 post is full of hard-science jargon and is associated with Thursday February 3 2011.

Day 687 (Tidbits)
It's Hippy Dippy Weatherman time over at the Day 687 post on THE 800 DAYS blog!
The Hippy Dippy Weatherman is a character/skit created by the late George Carlin (1937-2008). Carlin was noted for his black humour and also for taking risks in his comedic efforts by often creating scathing social commentary comedy bits on political topics, and many, many taboo topics. The topics of Psychology, Religion, Gender, Drugs/dope were topics most comics would shy away from but some of Carlin's greatest comedy routines were full of these topics.
George Carlin is definitely one of my favourite comedy presenters EVER and a most impressive thinker, too. I'm glad Blake put the Hippy Dippy Weatherman vid on the Day 687 post 'cos I had forgotten about that one and wouldn't have searched for it without prompts! Blake mentions Carlin as one of his mom's (Kat Vale's) fave performers, too!
The Hippy Dippy Weatherman skit is a lead in Blake uses to approach the topic of severe weather and current weather events...
Oh, and by the way, February 2, the date of Blake's post to The 800 Days blog is known as GROUNDHOG DAY to most North Americans. The idea of this involves a groundhog as predictor of the weather for the next few months after the groundhog rises out of its winter hibernation state. If the groundhog awakens and comes out of its burrow to see clouds, winter will soon end. If the groundhog meets with the sun, the winter weather will supposedly continue for 6 more weeks.
Another way to put it: If the groundhog sees his shadow (he pops out of his burrow when the sun is shining), more winter and Mr. Groundhog will go directly back into his burrow to wait out the weather. If the groundhog doesn't see his shadow - winter is almost over- and Mr. Groundhog will leave his burrow and start exploring.
In Canada, one of the most well known Groundhogs is Sutton Sammy from Ontario. This year, Sutton Sammy predicted and early spring by coming out of his burrow to explore. HOWEVER - Balzac Billy in Alberta, Canada went back into his burrow - thus, Alberta's going to have at least 6 more weeks of winter (Balzac Billy has been correct so far as there have been mostly minus 15 celsius or colder temperatures ever since Billy woke up from his hibernation). Truthfully, I think Sutton Sammy may have made an error as I have heard via National News sources that Ontario's had awful, snowy weather throughout February.
(*Note: I am using HINDSIGHT HERE as I am writing my reviews, at this point, several weeks AFTER Blake's original posts).
The Day 687 post is associated with funnyman George Carlin, with severe weather predictions, with Mr. Groundhog and the posting date of Wednesday February 2 2011.

Day 688 (Tidbits)
We're treated to more information and details on/from The Red Skywalker, EDEN SKY, as the main topic for Blake's Day 688 entry on is THE 800 DAYS blog.
Eden Sky, on her Facebook profile, identifies herself with the following words
If THAT doesn't interest you... I don't know what will.
SynchroMystic definitely got my attention regarding Eden Sky's self-definition.
Synchronicity+Mysticism. Interesting combination, right? Synchronicity is an interesting concept. It is the experience of two or more events or happenings which are seemingly unrelated and are unlikely to occur together by pure chance...but the events DO happen together or turn out to have a meaningful correlation together, as far as they can be observed...
A SynchroMystic world view says that everything in existence is connected ie: symbols, events, everything contains layers of meaning and information, histories and multiple interpretations.
I just thought I would provide some information on SynchroMysticism - particularly Synchronicity - before readers head on over to THE 800 DAYS blog. Blake has a ton of biographical details on Eden Sky, so I don't want to confound readers by posting repeat data about Eden Sky, her work and studies.
One thing that deserves repeating, however, before the end of my post is a belief Eden Sky projects on a regular basis. This is the belief that, since everything/everyone is connected in this vast, amazing universe, we have effects on everything/everyone else, so we can create positive change - without a doubt...
All these naysayers and doomsayers, negative skeptics and such who think all mankind's past blunders and evil deeds cannot be corrected are, according to the way of thinking above - WRONG in this assumption and viewpoint.
According to Eden Sky and others who believe in everything-connections, we all have the ability to create positive change in the world.
Currently, our world is in a state of chaos - wars, environmental abuses, conflict between religious institutions and believers, etc. We can work toward a greater stability by becoming AGENTS OF CALM - and halting the chaos we dream up then enact in the world.
Have a look at the details Blake provides on Eden Sky and her beliefs over on THE 800 DAYS BLOG.

Day 689 (Tidbits)
Time for a return to our thinking caps for Blake's Day 689 on what is becoming a very content-filled, art-filled, poetry-filled, commentary-filled THE 800 DAYS blog!
What you'll find for the Day 689 post are two complementary pieces of poetry. The title of one - "Quetzecoatl" - will conjure up images and concepts to your mind from an ancient age. The title of the other - "War Party - A Poem To Bring Our Troops Back Home Where They Belong" may allow you to stay firmly grounded to the present, but regardless, the pieces aren't drastically opposing to each other.
Each poem has a meaning and urgency in its own right, however, the "War Party [...]" poem seems to display a whole lot of repetition - and this poem is of greater length, so the feel of it is that it is of a more urgent tone than the Quetzocoatl piece. I think the Quetzocoatl poem may just be more condensed, is all, and both poems require focus and attention.
My favourite lines of the 2nd poem:
I appreciate the attention to balance in the first poem while I found something different to appreciate in the longer poem - repetition. I supposed the first poem is written with limited wording so its lines make each message more clear, while the longer 2nd poem has length for repetition. I found in the latter, the repetition has the effect of reminding one of bullets fired over and over again - repetitive military movement - calisthenics, even repetitive words such as are used with brainwashing...
In the first piece, there is something about the bottle mentioned, then returned to (balance) that adds to the sublime quality of the piece. In the second poem, sublimity is enhanced by the repetition of forceful words - words clearly understood the first time they were read but repeated nonetheless 'til we're almost dizzy with the repetition (perhaps Blake is trying to brainwash us! lol). For the first poem, we're taken into sublimity with the hint of what's in that bottle...for the second piece, we're brought to sublimity by having our senses assaulted - apt title on that 2nd piece with the word "War" in it...
Interesting...
I'll let others interpret from here...

There were strange days upon me and my body and race
I can hear, as I'm fighting, as I take up the bottle
I am drinking it down with my Quetzecoatl...
I can hear, as I'm fighting, as I take up the bottle
I am drinking it down with my Quetzecoatl...
[lines 6, 7, 8 above, balanced with lines 28-31 below]
Asking a deep sleepwalker in the waiting abyss
To remit, and the Father will not question your fear
As the dreams come out of the little glass bottles
Making my choice just like Quetzecoatl...
To remit, and the Father will not question your fear
As the dreams come out of the little glass bottles
Making my choice just like Quetzecoatl...
My favourite lines of the 2nd poem:
Before we're going through something
That's so much worse than any of it was before as
If you are pledging allegiance to the war
It feels just like it did before once more
Underground and overboard it feels just like before
You are actually giving something that isn't yours
You are actually giving something that isn't yours
That's so much worse than any of it was before as
If you are pledging allegiance to the war
It feels just like it did before once more
Underground and overboard it feels just like before
You are actually giving something that isn't yours
You are actually giving something that isn't yours

Day 690 (Tidbits)
You might need a tissue by the time you've finished reading Blak4d's Day 690 entry over on The 800 Days blog. I did. Although the video at the top of the post might make you grin (it has censored nekkid gals on it), and the poetry just below the video might make you think, the explanation which follows at the very bottom of the post will likely cause you to need:
R.I.P. Deserae!

Day 691 (Tidbits)
Another batch of activities from the Hackvist group, ANONYMOUS, was under way in late January 2011, but this activity was no hub-bub (loud, confused noise from many sources) stuff. The entity of Anonymous appears to use concerted efforts to gain attention, make statements, and draw attention to itself, along with perceived wrongs in the world.
Blake has been dutifully bringing the news of Anonymous' activities and statements to THE 800 DAYS blog - and his Day 691 post is another update on the doings and statements of Anonymous.
I like the image Blake placed at the top of the post... the pic shows a rather cheeky-looking moustached pharoah or idol... Nice!
Oh! That's the "V for Vendetta" face artistically imposed over the golden pharoah figure, isn't it?
Fitting! Again - nice.
Once more, Blake also provides more links to Anonymous' activities and additional information about this group/entity, so if you're at all interested in Anonymous, please be sure to check out and follow the links provided in the Day 691 post on The 800 Days blog. There actually now exists, an "AnonNews," and if Blake finds there's anything new circulating about Anonymous, he's promised to get it posted to the blog, so keep tuning in!
Enjoy the Anonymous information and the links. I'm cutting this post short so I can follow some links, myself, as I'm quite far behind on how to keep abreast of what Anonymous is up to!
The Day 691 vendetta post - oops I mean - the entry on the 800Days blog is associated with hacktivism as well as the date, Saturday January 29 2011.

Day 692 (Tidbits)
Okay, at this point in following and reviewing Blake's THE 800 DAYS, I am tempted to ask Blake to go seek help and go to an A.C.A. Meeting - only that meeting would end up having 13 Steps, no doubt! A.C.A. would be "Aleister Crowley Anonymous" meetings! Ha! Just funnin' withya (and readers), Blake!
Blake seems to have a measure of respect (as do I) for Crowley, despite the fact that Crowley was and still is a much hated personality in recent history. If you've been reading from Blake's blog for any length of time, you'll be able to note that this is NOT the first (nor, I suspect, will it be the last) time Blake has written posts featuring Crowley quotes, biographical details on A. Crowley.
In the Day 692 weblog post, Blake takes some Crowley quotes out of context in a way I would never think to do but the result is something nearly morbidly and definitely spookily BANG ON regarding social commentary of our supposedly civilized societies. Blake the mighty blogger has taken Crowley's statements on viewpoints of gays/sexuality, and made them applicable for describing our real society's reaction or involvment in the topic of gays/sexuality...
Crowley quote: Part of the public horror of sexual irregularity so-called is due to the fact that everyone knows himself essentially guilty
Reality: sexual identity is a social construction whereby opposite sex relationships are rewarded in society while same-sex relationships are primarily shunned, if not banned altogether in many areas of the civilized world. Additionally, it is highly LIKELY that we all experience attractions, sometimes, to same-gender individuals but have been conditioned since early childhood to repress these feelings of attraction, deeming them "unhealthy," but mostly unwanted.
I won't go through all of the assertions and wording on Blake's blog as the above is just my interpretation, anyway - one I thought I would share to show the manner in which I am appreciating Blake's material located at the Day 692 post.
Some of the assertions/quote placings are wry, some are blatantly pointing fingers, but all are APT and enjoyable to read and will create "food for thought," not only about Crowley but also about the societies in which we live.
Enjoy Blake's treatment of Crowley quotes, along with the Crowley photos on the Day 692 post!
The Day 692 post is indicative of a need for Blake to start attending A.C.A. meetings (lol) as well as Day 692 being associated with Friday January 28 2011.

Day 693 (Tidbits)
Mysterious INDEED! The theme for the Day 693 entry on THE 800 DAYS blog appears to be "Mystery."
At the top of the post is a video that, itself, is somewhat of a mystery to me - but I'll check with Blake about the artist, song, etc. The music is enjoyable nonetheless, so have a listen while you read about some mysterious items Blake felt needed some attention!
The objects are often "out of place" or do not adhere to what science and history texts currently tell us about the regions we live in... ie: the items are dated to be OLDER than what is currently accepted as how long human beings have existed on the earth... The widely popular and current belief is that people have only been walking on the planet for about 1.6 million years... but some of these objects are being dated as 2 to 2.5 million years old (a carving of a human face into a shell, found in England)...
Strange, huh?
Go read about this stuff on Blake's blog!
The Day 693 entry on The 800 Days blog is about OLD STUFF and wondering about the mystery of how old this stuff might really be... and also, Day 693 is associated with Thursday January 27 2011.

There are items detailed, ranging from coins to skeletons in the Day 693 post - and with every item, follows the questions:
- "How did these get here?"
- "Who left these items?"
- "Why are people just finding these items NOW in mainly (but not all or always) populated places?"
- most importantly
- "Why are these objects (and so many of them) dated as OLDER than human civilization?"

Naturally, it must be said that Blake may not be in 100% in agreement with all content or statements on pages at the links provided, but certainly, I think his point in posting such a diverse list of web locations is that there are certain sites people should visit to inform themselves of what's out there on the net (ie: The Heaven's Gate website/pages). Also, from what I know of Blake Hall - all reasonable discussion on controversial topics (or even strange-sounding topics) is a MUST - and I am in agreement with this, as well.
When I used the word, "diverse," above - it was an entirely inadequate word to use for the differing topic matter and links found at the Day 694 post. What you'll find once you go to Blake's blog are links to Aleister Crowley works and bio, google keywords pages, link to website of the now defunct cult called Heaven's Gate, links to Children of the Matrix material - theories from David Icke, a virtual library of metaphysical writings, theories from Zechariah Sitchin, "WeMoon" women's writers and arts site, links to the NASA site... and a whole lot more.
Personally, I'm caught up in the Heaven's Gate website. There are a lot of links and pages to that site that I feel are important to read - in order to understand what might have been in the minds of Heaven's Gate members, at least 39 of whom all committed mass suicide on March 26, 1997, in order to escape this world and follow along with what their belief system about the universe detailed. I'm very interested in the Heaven's Gate cult because I have no doubts that a present day cult with similar beliefs CAN occur and the mass suicide events can repeat in our day and age. I'm very troubled about this - even moreso when I double-check the links Blake provides in posts overall, not just in this Day 694 post. I'm working on educating myself about all sorts of phenomena, belief systems, knowledge, and doctrines. Now, I don't have to hold each doctrine I learn about as my own - but knowing of many doctrines helps me understand what informs other people to make certain decisions, act in certain ways, think in certain ways, etc., so that I know others better.
That aside behind, back to the links... May I make a suggestion?
Here it is for those who are interested: take 1 week of your time and dedicate just 1 hour each day to reading from just 7 of the links Blake has displayed on his Day 694 post. That will make 7 hours out of a whole week made up of 168 hours. Read enough on each of 7 sites to become very familiar with the material on the site. Take note at the end of 1 week on how much you've learned and about ways in which your worldview might have been changed, made better informed, etc., by your 7 hours of time dedicated to learning something - EVEN if the link you selected represents doctrines, people (many people really hate Crowley but have never read any of his works).
I'll bet that your 7 ours of self-decided and self-asserted education will turn out someone who is more capable of asking meaningful questions as well as providing meaningful answers to random questions.
Just TRY IT!
There are any of a number of links you can choose.
For my self-study, self-asserted study, I am going to stick with just one site, but by the end of 7 days, I am going to know a WHOLE LOT MORE about Heaven's Gate than I do right now. I'll post on this blog, in 7 days - next Wednesday - about what I learn from the one link Blake has provided amongst so many other valuable links. As well, next Wednesday, I'm going to post an argument to Blake's first wording on the Day 694 post as I am in disagreement with the message to a certain extent. If you need a reminder of the text, see below:
At this moment, the only thing I can agree with about these statements are that they mean SOMETHING and I sure hope they are "artistic," and not meant to be taken entirely literally! *Hint - I'm going to take the viewpoint that the words are an attempt to play Devil's Advocate...
So tune in next wednesday (March 2 2011)! lol Well, keep reading Blake4d in the meantime - and DO check out a 7 day course of reading from the links provided by Blake in the Day 694 article!
The Day 694 post is associated with links galore, a bunch of cool palindrome words at the beginning of the post and, before I forget - the date of Wednesday January 26 2011.
It's a LINK-fest galore!
