The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, were a crossroads for people all across the globe. After that fateful day came and went, political and military policies shifted seismically, affecting, and continuing to affect, people at every level of society. These changes happened not only in the United States but in countries throughout the world. Many of the strongest memories of September 11 are held in the hearts and minds of those directly confronted with the aftermath of the attacks in New York City, the Pentagon and Pennsylvania. Thousands lost family, friends and loved ones in the attacks, which killed around 3,000 people, mostly in downtown Manhattan. The suddenness with which their lives changed made the tragedy that much more unforgettable.
Welcome
Welcome to my blog. I update this as often as I can with news that you might not see on the major networks as my main focus. I welcome any and all comments, and I have content at the bottom of the page everyday. Personal blurb: My personal belief is that the US Constitution's first amendment (which talks about the freedom of speech) extends to the Internet. For this reason, I have the comments setting set up to have comments go up immediately. If you comment anonymously, you will have to go through a word verification step. I will keep the setting as-is as long as the comments are kept 'G' rated. Thanks and I hope you keep coming back.

Another Way to Share Randomness Blogs
If you enjoy reading my posts, first, thank you, second, if you want to spread the word about the blogs, there is now another way, via QR codes. If you don't know what a QR code is, that's OK. They are fairly new to the US, although they've been around for a while in Japan and parts of Europe. They are kind of boxy as you can see below that can embed just about anything, the only limitations are that it can only hold 256 characters and there are no phones, that I know of, that have an app preloaded that can read QR codes. If your running Android, a good app is Barcode Scanner by ZXing Team. If your running iOS, a good app is QR Reader for iPhone by TapMedia LTD. I don't have devices that run any other OS but I will be doing research to find good QR code apps for OSes like BlackBerry OS, and WindowsPhone.
The follow QR codes go to Techjunkynews.blogspot.com and random-stuff-on-my-mind.blogspot.com
