These jerks stole my idea!!!
"New Dell laptop introduces wireless charging"

The new Dell Latitude Z can, with a $200 option, charge itself wirelessly (without having to plug it in). It does this through induction, a technology first introduced by MIT. The laptop has a special coil arrangement as does it's charging platform. When you place the coil/computer on the other coil (though you have to get it just right to work) an induction charge is formed allowing the laptop's battery to charge across this small distance.
Now, I and the Omni Group have been working on EM Induction for around a year. Of course Dell didn't actually steal my idea for the project I'm working on allows for computers, cell phones and other devices to be charged across the room, hopefully up to 30ft without causing problems for other devices closer to the charger. And in time for much less than $200.
It is nice though to see that it's in the marketplace, albeit in a very basic and simple form.
Sadly the economic collapse cost me $5 mill in research money/yr so I may not be able to complete things before another person/group legally beats me to the punch.
Arg! My back is hurting worse than it has in a very long time. I've been taking proper medical action but to no avail. Hopefully a good nights rest will help.
I go to my therapist in the morning.
I got a copy of the documents filed for my name change (btw court date is set for Nov 10). As I was reading over them I noticed where they called me "her" on the last page, final section.
That's always nice lol. I may be a bottom but I ain't no wannabe chick! LMAO
TMI? haha

hugs ya... ya i have been in lots of pain as well dear... i start treatment on the 6th
Get used to it you fucking pussy, think there were any remedies back in the good old days?
DIDN'T THINK SO
HA! You fat old troll, think there were any remedies for you back in the day?! Sorry that's all I could come up with this early in the morning. lol
If it weren't a legal document I wouldn't have really cared being it that it was an obvious typo. Of course since the document have actually been filed there isn't much I can do about it.
*sigh* "Your Honour, Ms. Xzavier would like to..." lol
Ok here are the pics showing my new suede pants, plus a lil extra for my 4 "fans" lol
COMMENTS
Woo hoo! They look gorgeous. :)
Ooh la la, those are sexy.

Where'd ya get them? :D
You have a cute stomach. :P
Nice... very nice. :)
wow

I love these things!

Naughty boy
Photo please!!
CM, I really think the picture would be better if he wasn't wearing them, maybe they could be draped over a chair somewhere in the background..all out of focus and such... *devillish grin*
Haha, you're the naughty boy XD!
No worries, I'll try to get some pics up of them..and me. I may send you (XD) some pics with the pants on the chair though ;) lol
Hey now...why can't I get a thrill too? *pouts*
There's one quick and definite way to get on my permanent bad side. Waste my time.
The past 4 days I've been talking to a guy who contacted me via Craigslist (thanks person who told me to use them...lol) about some coins.
We talked, bargained, chatted on the phone etc and he said he really wanted them.
The price $614, the value $900.
So I hear nothing from him yesterday and then just now he sends me an email telling me something came up and he'd "keep in touch".
What a load of crap.
Don't even think my name unless you're seriously interested and if you're going to spend more than 1 day of my time then make it worth my while and at least buy something for a couple bucks.
Stuff like this really pisses me off. I don't mind someone saying they're not going to but after 4 days?
Does this make any sense to you?
Several more banks are being shut down due to the economic crisis. The Federal Reserve is considering tapping into their $500 billion credit line with the Treasury to help shore up other banks on the brink of failure.
In other words the Fed (which btw is not a government body) is wanting to take out a loan to pay off debt.
Last I checked both the Fed and Treasury are on the verge of collapsing themselves.
That's like using a credit card to pay off a credit card.
When will people learn (regular citisens, large companies like the Fed and the government) that debt never solves anything and that it's a stupid idea?
If you can't afford something you don't deserve to have it. Simple as that.
I'm poor which means I don't deserve a $250k house. I do deserve an apartment because I can pay for it and dang it I'm darn happy to have it!
COMMENTS
sadly, they're just going to print money to pay it back... which means we all pay for it by way of inflation as they devalue the currency.
Hold on to your hat... this is gonna be a bumpy ride.
i dont even know where to begin on some of these looney statements...*gives up*
Americans are being forced to cut back to the bone to cope with the economic crisis...the government should also. "Should"...but sadly won't.
Every few years I take the "Nolan Chart" political test and each time the results change. Here is my current standing.
I've moved from "middle conservative" to "right top lib", to "strong top lib" and now "left of top lib".
The reason why I'm not a strong total libertarian (according to this chart) is because I do think we need social safety nets like Social Security, although greatly changed and not mandatory.
This is the ring I bought Kevin for his bday. It has a large blue sapphire with diamonds around it.
After watching "Lock N' Load w/ R Lee Ermey" all day I'm reminded about how much I wish I was in the military.
Yes I've served in various military related roles and even have a uniform (though not an American one) I've never been able to actually be in combat.
I don't support the federal government but I do support the law and would like to have had the ability to put on some fatigues and go kick some ass.
And yes homo boy loves weapons, blood/guts, and all the many positive aspects of the military.

As bad as things were for me in the military, I DO miss the toys :)
God, I miss my M2 .50 caliber machine gun and that MK19 grenade launcher...and, and my M203 grenade launcher on my M4 carbine....

*rolls over to go to sleep* :)
He's like every Marine's hero :P If you've seen 'Full Metal Jacket' you'll know why... he's one of the most quoted characters in the Corps.
Sometimes I find it hard to believe I served 8 years, thrown grenades, repelled, gone on gun-runs showering the 29 Palms desert with a 50 Cal, and became an expert with so many other weapons. It's pretty neat, and makes me want to go to the range just for fun. I haven't been to one since I got out in 2000.
You just wanna chant the saying...
This is my weapon,this is my gun...
This one is for fighting and this one is for fun.
It can be pretty annoying having to come out to someone every few days. At times I do wish there was some actual "gay look" or something.
I'm not stereotypical, I don't speak with a lisp or flail my hands around like some epileptic monkey and I don't blab about it 24/7 in reality (just online to annoy myself and others). I'm just a nice guy who happens to be gay.
But that isn't good enough is it? No, you have to ask or assume something like "Are you still dating that girl?" and then I have to say "no I'm gay". Of course that generally leads to "Oh, you are?" with a look of puzzlement or disapproval. Or you get the ever pleasant "Oh wow cool you're gay. You know my brother's gay, do you know him? So what made you turn gay? Do you take it up the butt?"
We aren't freaks to be questioned, mocked, starred at or in any way treated other than the rest of you.
On occasion I don't mind answering people's questions, telling them I'm gay etc but in this world (which seems to still be based in 1850) things aren't that simple.
Stupid America, stupid humanity, stupid curiosity.

Get a T-Shirt made that says
Yes I'm Gay,Whats Your Excuse.
There seems to be no end to the amount of people who are rainbow blind
People can be jerks sweetie they shouldnt ask you those things. They deserve a bitch slap.
I know this doesnt matter but I personally dont care if a person is gay or straight they can still be nice and they still bleed they just like the same sex. It allows me to talk about how cute guys butts are with a person if they are gay:)
Just answer the question .. do you take it up the butt?!! lol
I got new prettiness!!!!!!!!!!

So...X-Man takes Xzavier as his new bride huh
Oh, that is a gorgeous ring. :)
Emerald's are my "birth stone", so I am fond of them. :P
You have great taste. :)
THAT is gorgeous. I usually don't care for emeralds but those are lovely. Dammit! Why can't you be my personal shopper..lol.
That is lovely, I have a weakness for cameos. The well done ones that is, why does good taste have to cost so much???
Ugh I'm getting tired of "relationships".
Anyway. Tomorrow, well later today technically, I go to sign the papers for my name change. Then I get to wait for a court date to tell a judge I'm not dogging taxes and don't want to change my name to "Christo de Deus, Saviour of Humanity and Leader of the United Federation of Planets" lol
COMMENTS
What, you don't like the name Christo de Deus, saviour of humanity and leader of the united federtion of planets ? I think it has a nice ring to it lol
sighs--- ya i want to change my name to.. i have been wanting to do it for a few years now... but for the most i just want to disappear...
I've just finished reading the Book of Marganitha by Mar Odisho, Metropolitan of N’siwin and Armenia, A.D. 1298.
Really all I have to say is, interesting.
So I watched the "Labyrinth" last night. I remember seeing it maybe 10 years ago or more and any time fantasy films come up in conversation my friend goes on and on about how cool a movie it is.
In my opinion the worst part of it was actually David Bowie himself. During the singing scenes he looks like some random 50 year old wannabe singing in front of a mirror. The acting....well there really wasn't any acting on the part of any "person".
Now, the puppets, animatronics etc were actually pretty good (considering its age). The parts where you had split screen photography etc were all poorly amateur. I really don't see how this thing cost $25 mill to make.
Honestly, I want that 101 minutes of my life back.
COMMENTS
I hear you. I often wish my life came with a rewind button!
Well damn, I watched this movie a couple of days ago. It is one of my comfort movies for when I am feeling crappy, along with Willow and The Princess Bride. Perhaps we appreciate some of these movies more for the fact we loved them when we were younger? I am sorry you didn't enjoy it so much with this viewing of it.
I've taken on the greatest challenge to date in regards to coins.
One of the biggest problems facing coin collectors and dealers (especially of high value coins) is that of assured coin verification.
I have started creating a unique coin identification system that will use visual, chemical and electromagnetic processes to label each and every coin I grade as it's own unique coin.
Say you have a PF70 coin (the most perfect grade possible) that was given to you as a gift or has some other special meaning. If someone else has a PF70 coin and it gets mixed in with yours there is virtually no way to tell them apart.
Now you might ask, if they're the same coin what's the big deal? The deal is 1) your specific coin has special value to you AND your coin also does have features that make it 100% unique even though to the eye it's the same as other coins. And of course in reality no two coins are alike, even with the same grade, the same that no two of anything are alike.
By utilizing these unique properties I will be able to tell every single coin apart from every other coin.
Coins which are placed in the "Complete Unique" system will have a unique 18 digit code, a high resolution photo of the whole coin, both sides, and a few other charts etc of the things which make that coin unique. The coin will be encapsulated in such a way as to not alter the features.
One draw back to this is if the coin is improperly handled, even if it retains it's PF-70 rating the ID features may be disturbed. But as long s it remains in it's case there is no risk of this.
The cost of this service will be around $500 per coin. Coins with a value of over $10,000 will be entered into the "CU" system for free.
For the next week I'm going to try and work out all the details and figure out a way of getting the equipment needed. Most of the actual technology and processes involved will be proprietary but should anyone be interested in helping me acquire the equipment feel free to send me a message lol. (We could even work it out as an investment type setting)
This equipment has been chosen to insure that there is no risk of altering the coin in any way.
No coin grading company has any service anywhere near this. The only thing remotely similar is that of some diamond companies which engrave specific ID codes onto high dollar gems. Of course with coins you don't have the luxury of engraving, even if you can't see it. Plus the idea of marking a coin, any coin, for such purposes is highly unethical in the numismatic world.
By the end of this week the copyright and patent process will be well on it's way.
When I turned 20 I started writing an autobiography but after 5 chapters I gave it up. (There were some reasons but I don't care to get into that)
Now I wonder if I should start writing a new one, one that would include not just the story of my life but things like my philosophies, political ideals etc. I think it would give me a good jumping point to really bust out the 3 books I've been working on for the past 2 years. Basically the bio would be a baby step allowing me to write the other books far more better than how they're going now.
Ideas ideas.
Now go read the Tid Bits section of my journal damn it!!! You'll be soooo glad you did hehe

E∞ g∞ D∞ ...... my daughter use to talk like that :-p
Is that the formula for a chocolate shake? No wait, the perfect Vesper.
ummm There is something wrong when your math has more letters then numbers. and its all gibberish to me...
I hve no idea what you just said, but I think I just glued myself to my pants....
So my whole weight issue thing is really freaking me out. Yes, I have an eating disorder which makes me deathly afraid of getting fat BUT at the same time the idea of being 6'2" and 118lbs, knowing that if I drop much more weight I'd be in the ER scares be even more.
I don't want to get fat but I also don't want to die by wasting away. So, the past few days I've been ordering pizzas left and right, just ordered one online lol
Let's see, today I had a meeting with a lawyer to get my name changed. The name change only costs $207.50 his fee however is $750! Oh well, it's mom who's paying since she was the one to give me my 3rd last name (via adoption) and then divorce the guy :) (eh, the divorce wasn't entirely her fault to be honest the guy was an absolute jackass and actually beat me once)...wow first time I've ever mentioned that, ever.
I've been working on creating my own numbering and grading standards for a potential new coin co I'm working to start in association with a heritage organisation. Hope it works out. I've been associated with this particular group for 3-4 years now.
That's it for the day.
COMMENTS
Dude...share the pizza...
Change your name to Darth Xzavier ya big Yankee hating meany.
A new numbering and grading standard? Let's hear it (privately if you prefer).
You just don't want your butt to look big in that 'red number'!!
Well the numbering is just my way of keeping track of the coins. Each coin has it's own unique number that includes type, date, mint, grade, special info and when I got it all rolled into a 8-12 character code.
The grading standards isn't new so much as my own personal standards focusing on coins that could be either, for example, an EF-45+ or AU-50. A way of making that easier. And developed more specific details about the difference between not just the basic grades (F/AG,G,VG,F,VF,EF or XF,AU,MS,BU,PF and PF70) but all the grading numbers 1-70.
Something that the major grading companies keep to themselves.
Ooo happiness :D I was going over some new coins I got and found a massive error hehe.
It's a 1921 Morgan in EF condition with a very large die crack (going about 1/3 the way around) and 1 cud on it's reverse side. Not entirely sure how much it's worth but I know it's worth a heck of a lot more than I paid for it lol.
Now I'm really glad I didn't decide to sell the lot before going through them thoroughly.
Google has betrayed me! *cries* Every once n a while I Google myself and for about 3yrs I took up the first 600 results solid but now it's only the first 20 or so and then a bunch of crap about some dang Christmas story thing mixed with results about me from people who never actually knew me lol.
COMMENTS
I shall get the cheese ready with that whine *laughs*
you have been cast back into obscurity by the internet gods lol
I spent most of yesterday at the doctors, had 2 x-rays, got a new medication and wanted to die over-all. They still aren't sure what's going on but I am feeling better, my fever is down and I ate for the first time since Friday.
I'll be calling my dr in an hour or so if they don't call me first about the x-ray results. They want to do some more blood tests just to double check a few things but thankfully it doesn't seem to be a major necessity right now.
It was pretty hard to breathe last night but it's starting to get better as well. Needless to say I'm very tired.
COMMENTS
I hope they nail whatever it is that keeps knocking you down. Good luck with the results.
i swear you and i have to be radioactive by now lol
So I've been sick the past few days and I've decided to cut my pain meds by half and slowly tapper off it for good.
Although it's true my condition causes many problems such as nausea, abdominal pain etc it can be compiled with long term narcotics use. I don't foresee me actually ever being off pain medication but I'm hoping I can find one that's much gentler on my stomach.
On a lighter side it was nice to log in and find out I'm officially an Acolyte *thanks Cancer* :)
I was going to re-tell the story of my personal experience during 9/11 but really I just want to move on. No one really cares about the OK City bombing and in 20 years this will be all but a memory, one which we did nothing to solve the problem, one where we moved back not forward and refuse to learn it's lessons, only to give in to fear, lies and political bs'ing.
What happened was sad, terrible, frightening and brings one to anger. What's happened since and now as a result (directly and indirectly) however is even worse.
"It's raining, it's pouring the old man is...clutching his chest and falling of the chair!"
To bad it is raining though, I was sorta wanting to go out for a bit *sigh*
Kevin and I have been planning a restaurant for about a year. Of course I'm the architect so I get to design it.
This is the 2nd drawing for "The Blue Rose Café". Now since I don't have a $3k programme I had to use "Paint" but I think it works quite well for these purposes.
Let me know what y'all think.

love it ! and i like the name I might have to come once it is built!
Looks like you have yourself a winner there Xzavier
I LOVE my coin dealer! For one he has a massive selection and his prices tend to be low but he's also in the habit of giving me things for free, discounts, rounding the prices down etc. I'm able to build my own collection, buy things for other people, buy and sell and usually offer free shipping if need be all because of this guy.
One example for today would be, I bought $25 worth of Indian Head cents which comes out to $0.96/ea, well the avg value of them is $4ea! Now usually for something like eBay I try and get as much as possible but for folks I know (in person, online etc) I'm able to sell things below book value, make a profit and give them a chance at having great items with great value for cheap.
I know this sounds sorta like an advertisement which is making me a lil sick lol but it's not meant to be one. I just really love getting deals and then being able to offer deals to others.
I've been collecting since 1997 and I know what it's like to be charged $50 for something worth $40 that they bought for $20. People need to make a profit but not by practically robbing their customers. I have no problem knowing I'm giving someone profit, paying more than they did as long as I'm still getting a deal compared to most places and so long as their nice, professional and upfront about things.
Plus my dealer practically gave me a Morgan silver $ for free on top of everything else lol.
I've only been going to him for around a month but I've spent nearly $1,000 so far. (remember most of the time I'm buying for someone, I ain't got a grand to spend on anything lol) And it's nice to have a place in town so I can get what I want when I want and don't have to pay $15+ for S&h.
COMMENTS
Have you considered getting a metal detector? That's something even you could do and getting coins that way, they're free. You'd be surprised how many silver coins you can find, especially down there (down South).
I used to and actually did find some decent coins that way. Now however, where I live, it would be seriously difficult to find anything. If I ever find myself living outside of the city then I may do that again but for now it's easier to just buy them.
When you take the equiv. of 105mg of morphine but still in pain then you know somethings wrong lol.
I went fishing with my brother and nephew today. We were gone maybe 3 hours and had a pretty nice time. We all caught fish, I caught the biggest one though *woot*. But, I'm hurting like hell.
COMMENTS
Just so you know...if I took ANY morphine...Id die...now back to what you were saying.
Well I don't *take* morphine but what I do take is 3-4x as strong. It's just that 105mg sounds better than saying 30mg of what I do take.
lmao it does sound cooler to say that
Can I have a 10000mg Morphine sammich?
Um...NO! You'd either die or throw up for hours and hours and spend a week in the ER lol
This differs greatly from my normal journal entries BUT I really, really, realllllly want pants like these...or the boy, I'm not totally sure which more lol.

Take the pants, I'll take the boy!

I'll take the tattoos.
Both !
I really don't understand the idea of the Constitution being a "living" document. How can any document such as this be living and still maintain it's foundations and power?
I will always uphold and teach that it is a "dead" document and only as such can it still provide us with the best and most stable form of government in all of history.
COMMENTS
Well... it's living as in it can be ammended... such as, giving women the right to vote... and etc..
I don't know if that makes it living... just recognizing the original draft wasn't perfect and times change.
I don't think that's what they mean by "a living" document. Rather than proposing and adopting amendments, people who consider it a "living" document think the words of the Constitution can be re-interpreted for use in the modern era. For example; expanding the powers of government by re-interpreting the meaning of "general welfare" in Article 1 Section 8 to include powers that would have repulsed the founding fathers.
It seems as though I may be going back to school. This time to become a Pharmacist. Physicist, Architect, Minister, Pharmacologist (something else) and then....Pharmacist. That all has a nice ring to it don't it? :D
Should be starting in Jan if all goes well.
I just scared the crap out of myself! I went into the bathroom to wash my face, looked into the mirror and BAM my right eye is all red n such. The left side has become totally blood shot and I have no clue how or why, it looked fine earlier today. Now that I think of it my vision in that eye is a little blurry as well, and it feels strange.
I hope it clears up REAL quick.
COMMENTS
Sounds nasty hon, don't wait too long for it to clear, get to the optician or doc soon as you can.
It didn't itch or anything?
Nope not at all. Had no clue until I saw it in the mirror and now that it's on my mind it just feels like there's some slight pressure etc.
If I had a dollar for every time I scared myself when I looked in the mirror......
Hope you get better soon!
you need to go have it checked , you could have a infection in it or gotten something in it by rubbing your eye.
I still can't believe that the idea of reparations for American blacks is still swimming around.
I can only imagine what our international friends think about such a thing. Should all of Europe pay descendent's of slavery (and in many cases much greater brutality) for their thousand year history of that institution? Of course not. What about those American slaves who were white, native, hispanic? Do they get reparations?
This is such an insane notion it boggles the mind. Then again this is a different era and with the folks in this administration the idea of reparations seem benign compared to their other ideas, goals and plans.
COMMENTS
I once heard about this from military members. They were talking pretty loud about it. So I walked over and said "How can the white man give away what was not his to begin with? My people were the ones who got stolen from and put on reservation. So if anyone gets anything it is us, you all can just go back where you came from as far as my people are concerned". They shut up quick. Though I do not claim it I am allowed all kinds of government loans and grants because of how much Blackfoot runs in my veins. Heh, guess no one ever thing=ks about that kind of stuff, but only 40 acres and a mule. Yeah. And that is my .02
Ummmm did you know that African Americans sold each other. We shouldnt have to pay for what our ancestors did its over and done with.
Get off the cross use the wood to build a bridge bridge to get the fuck over it is my motto
We shouldnt have to pay for other peoples mistakes
Both of you make great points. It's not a widely known fact that a large number of slaves were sold by their own people, tribal leaders etc.
I just can't get over the fact that it still seems so many want this. Like Van Jones, one of Obama's advisors.
Reparations goes against everything we as Americans stand for, most if not all religions and even the foundations of civil rights. You know the whole "judge not by the colour of my skin but by the character of my heart" thing..the same goes for "blame".
Dag nabit people! Mr. Dr. Professor Xzavierman wants you to read the latest entry in the "Ab Actus" section! It's a rare thing that something is added there and I'd like your input.
:D
Some people offend me! lol So I sell coins right. I have some Morgan dollars for sale for $24/ea but folks have an option of sending in their best offer (granted it's not like I have a 50% profit margin either). This one idiot offered $16, it cost me more than that just to buy em and is also far below the value of the coin. He sent another low ball offer for some other Morgans worth (and priced) a lot more.
I can forgive people for not knowing how much something is worth but when I tell them in the item's description and give a price and then they ask me for 20% or so less it's really insulting.
Just another day in the life of me :) And also the most interesting thing to happen to me today which is why you're getting to read about something so....unimportant.
COMMENTS
Hey I want my shit at 90% off from now on! o.0 Err, not my shit...my coins man! No, not my coins...YOUR coins. Yeah I want 90% off YOUR coins that I am going to buy from you...idiots.
Oh man, wish I had ANY disposable income at the moment. When I actually have real money again, I am ravaging your collection. Be warned :D
Sweetie everything is interesting about you :) I like reading about your life
