This 2 hour video is a must see movie. I think it should be shown to every economic major in college. It expresses my thoughts much more professionally than my last blog post.

Let me start by saying, I by no means consider myself to be an expert in the field of economics or politics. I'm still very much "young, naive, and idealistic." At least that's what my old-fashion parents would say. But because of my idealism, I believe I have a right to express my opinion about the current situation in our country today.

What I DO have is common sense, a secondary education, and a sincere desire to have a stable economic system and political system that I can trust making the laws that determine my future and the future of my friends, family and children.

So recently my roommate ordered an ASUS EEE PC, because he was impatient and did not receive shipping notification he went ahead and ordered another one from a different distributor. Soon after he realized that both would be arriving on the same day. I was on the fence about owning one, but I took this as a sign to go ahead and buy one. Finally, they both arrived and it was immediately apparent that a different OS needed to be installed. Ubuntu was the obvious choice, but as usual there were some driver problems, one of them being wireless.

Let me start by saying, me leaving the iPhone in a Taxi is clearly my own doing. I'm posting this just to point out the ignorance and disrespect for people's property that some people have. I'm hoping that by posting this the person who decided to be an asshole gets some karma sent back his way. My long term hope is that the phone winds up back in my possession. There are pictures of my son, friends, and family that I'd really appreciate having back.

On May 1st I took a taxi about 5 miles from 44th St and 9th ave in NYC to Jersey City, NJ. Soon after I realized I left my phone in the taxi and contacted 311 and All Taxi Management in NYC. Because I took the taxi from NY to NJ they claim it's out of their district to help me out.

As stated in a couple articles back, I recently made the move to Ubuntu 7.10 Gusty Gibbon. There were a few hurdles I had to get over along the way and I wanted to share with you the solutions that worked for me.

The title of this post states that I'm using an Acer Aspire 5100 and that I was having difficulties setting up the internal AR5006EG wireless controller. Luckily, Google is a great resource and by mixing a few suggestions together I was able to get online. I have not tested it out but I believe that the following steps would work on any system that is built on the Debian Platform or use ndiswrapper.
