DRACO: Death to the Virus →
I really hope this research can make it into the mainstream. It would help so many people. I fear that the pharmcos will prevent it from being released.
(Mostly because it’s more money for them to treat symptoms of diseases than to cure them.)

Pentatonix rocks...
I know that I’m a little late “getting on this train”…
However, these guys (and gal) are completely awesome. I can’t get enough of them and I think I’m developing a crush. lmao
It’s been a while that a musical group has gotten my attention in such a way. I love the arrangements and the manner in which they perform.
When they sing… You can actually...

... and it begins... again.
I’m ashamed of myself, but at least I’m starting over.
I know I shouldn’t be that hard on myself, but I feel like a failure.
It will get better, I just have some things to work on and definitely need to work the steps fully this time.

I know you...
I know you. The true you. I know of your outcastish secret, but have no worries. It is safe with me… Because I had the same in the past. It is no longer one. You can ask virtually anyone. Why am I writing this? Because I want to… Why? I know how hard it can be… and I know how lonely it can be…

The Dancer
The world closes in on me while it rejects me for all of eternity. People look at me in shame but others seek what they could gain… Will someone please stop this horrid pain!?!?! I look at a pain killer while it dances. I would kill just for one chance I wish I could have just even one dance.
You are an inspirational experience dancing in my mind.
Please tell me that they all lie....

Self acceptance...
Anytime I read something on the Internet about someone accepting themselves or looking for ways to accept themselves, I’m reminded of the article written by Mary Schmich, “Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young”.
I try to live by the advice given, except for the dancing part. Maybe I’ll try to work on it more. :)
Wear sunscreen. If I could offer you only...

How can I change the world?
While it may not be a “world shattering” change…
I’ve been thinking about small ways that we can all change the world… Here’s my list so far… Even though it mostly consists of us being polite and good to each other, it might work.
I’m going to be trying one of these every day when I’m around people. The more I practice it, the more I’ll...

Last weekend...
I could swear that I had posted in a blog somewhere about last weekend, but I guess not. Whoops!
I went to Houston on Friday… Met up with some friends at a building that I used to work at (HG Houston), and went out with them to a bar.
The service at the bar really sucked. It took about 5-10 minutes to get a single diet cola. Yes… It really was that long to get a drink…
It...

dbox: Instagram Filters as Photoshop Actions →
dbox:
I recently did a google search to see if anyone had “converted” instagram filters to photoshop actions. After not finding any results, I decided to see if I could do it myself. I didn’t get a 100% exact match, but it’s pretty close.
Im starting with “Nashville” then will add more soon. Let me…

The blog wars...
I first moved to Posterous because I liked its ability to autopost… Likereallyautopost to every site/account that I have.
Unfortunately, there are hints on the Posterous official blog that they might be shutting down since they’ve been acquired by Twitter.
I think it’s great on apersonallevel that their employees will still have jobs at a new company. However, on aproduct...
The move is complete...
Well, that didn’t take a lot of debating.
I suppose I shouldn’t worry about the actual platform as long as it works… Right?
Wordpress on my domain was being a little laggy on the server it was on… So I figure that if I use tumblr and CloudFlare, it should still work out ok.
I’ve cleared out my blog for the most part. While it’s important to have a past,...
So, I've cleared out my blog...
I have several reasons for finally starting fresh on my blog.
I’m going to be writing about mostly technology, poetry, showing off my photographs, and personal conflict/drama in my life.
However, a lot has changed in my life in the past six months.
I’ve decided that it’s time to start fresh/new… So, I’ll be starting over.
I guess that I’ve resolved the “tumblr import limit” situation… However,...
TV Commercials
Commercials, especially those on a service that you already pay for, are mostly annoying.
I believe that if you pay for a service, you shouldn’t have to pay for advertising. What’s essentially happening with cable and satellite providers is that you pay to watch advertising.
So, the network that you’re watching an advertisement on is paid by the cable or satellite carrier to...
A Wasteful Habit
CIGARETTE This question leaves a lot to be asked for specifics of the question itself. In how many ways can you be wasteful?
I try to conserve energy whenever I can… However, I don’t have the sleep settings enabled on my computer. I usually turn out the lights when I leave, etc.
However, I rarely turn off my computer out of habit. Back in the day when power...
Higher Education / University or school after High...
If your parents make too much money, but not enough to pay your tuition, you’re screwed until you’re 25, at which point you can file for federal loans independently.
After that, you’re limited to how much per year you can borrow. In my situation, my financial aid doesn’t cover all of my tuition, so I have to figure out how I can pay my tuition. More than likely, I’m...
Panjwai shooting spree
Panjwai shooting spree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Why can’t we just worry about our own borders and our own country?
I really wish that we would stop meddling in the affairs of other countries. We should have all of our troops home already.
My domain name...
During all of this moving about, I’ve noticed that my domain name isn’t the easiest to spell.
So, I have an alternate: www.danielc.tk
However, I’m thinking of going ahead and creating a new domain name out of my name or a new handle that everyone can spell. Or is the alternate easy enough? What do you think, world? Please leave comments here or on FB.

Tumblr fail...
Well, Tumblr won’t allow people to post more than 250 posts in a day, so I won’t be able to migrate my entire blog there…
So, I’m faced with a decision:
1) Stay with Wordpress on a hosted domain
2) Start “fresh” with a tumblr account and cross post from it. This would allow people to view my archive as well as the new posts on Tumblr.
I like the idea of...

Young Artists For Haiti - Wavin' Flag
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nB7L1BIDELc
The song above still makes me feel a little warm inside. I am reminded that there is hope in that people in an industry can come together for a common goal to help others.
While it’s a little “cliche”, I think it was a great effort.
Artists/musicians don’t make a lot of money as it is… The record companies do… If...
General Mehness regarding Blogs
Well, I’ve decided to go ahead and keep using WordPress for a while.
I was going to export from WordPress over to Tumblr… However, the exporter doesn’t support images or media within posts… So, for now… I’m staying on my own hosted domain. Instead of it simply being hosted, it’s using CloudFlare to distribute it. This will result in faster load times,...

Photos from my trip March 3, 2012. I didn’t take a lot…
I’ll take more on my next trip anywhere. :)

Here’s a panorama from my trip to Canyon Lake. :)
Thank you, Twitter. (sarcasm)
Thanks to Twitter’s aquisition of Posterous, I’m moving my blog to another platform. I’ll probably end up going back to Tumblr… Unless they buy them out too.
So, tonight, I’ll be migrating my data. If you happen to read this blog and it goes down, that’s why… It’s being moved.
Meh. Stupid buyouts.
I decided to migrate now rather than later. I...
Just some venting...
I need to get a second job or another source of income so that I can pay tuition and buy a trailer… If you know of anyone looking for a talented Linux administrator (who can also program in PHP, knows enough MySQL to get by, etc), please let me know where to send a resume. :)
This will need to be an evening/night or VERY early morning job since I want to keep my day job. :)
So far, living...
