The Jolly Rogers on Flikr - press the photo
Jolly Rogers book finished!
"A List of Broken Things" - new book by Dave Rogers is done. Only a limited number of these hand-made books have been produced. They have been signed and numbered by the author himself, who has hand-bound each book using an Asian binding method. This is Art. Art is good. Contact me at Blackstarfish@cableone.net for more info. Trust the Jolly.
Want to know who you are descended from?
I recently had my friends at Warrior Roots run a genetic test to determine my ancestry. If you want to know who you are descended from, contact them. They are true professionals and may be able to shine some light on your hidden background as well. I like knowing. You will too. See my post on Nov. 7, 2009 for the whole story.

The finish.
All the way down.
Drop the number of Marxists, socialists, communists and other "ists" in the administration to zero.

When a country dies.
Taken in 1993, this photo outside of the remains of an international bank at Checkpoint 77 in Mogadishu, Somalia, illustrates what happens when a modern country collapses. For so many, there simply is no escape - no exit.
A city lost.
Just around the corner from that exit sign - the remains of the city of Mogadishu. But it's important to remember, this can happen anywhere.
The Green Line, Mogadishu 1993
Why are there no windows, no electrical wires - sometimes no roofs? People have sold everything they had, looted what they could, stripped whole buildings, just to get enough money to survive. But in many cases, the people were feeding a drug addiction, working for various factions and warlords. We went in to ensure the crooks didn't just steal the food from the starving population. How long did it take for such a monumental collapse to happen in a modern city? Only two years - and they were living a stone-age or bronze-age life amidst the rubble. We are always only spitting distance from the same fate, despite what people may think.
